Effect of gastrodin on the proliferation and the release of GDNF in astrocytes
Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of gastrodin on the proliferation of astrocytes,as well as the release of GDNF.Methods Astrocytes derived from hippocampal of fetal rats were divided in-to gastrodin group and control group.In gastrodin group,the astrocytes were treated with different con-centrations of gastrodin (10μg/ml,1 5 μg/ml,20μg/ml,25 μg/ml and 50μg/ml)about 48 h or 72 h.The cells viability,the BrdU labeling and detection and the level of GDNF were measured by the kit of CCK-8, immunocytochemical method and Elisa kit,respectively.Results The cell viability,the number of BrdU+cells and the level of GDNF in 20 μg/ml and 25 μg/ml gastrodin treated groups were significantly in-creased compared to the control and other groups after 72 h incubation (P < 0.05).However,there were no significant differences between each group after 48 h incubation.Conclusions The proliferation and re-lease of astrocytes and the level of GDNF can be elevated by gastrodin.
