We introduced mechanical stimuli and micropatterned substrate with micro fibers to investigate the effects of those on neurite outgrowth along with nerve growth factor (NGF) in vitro. Microfiber substrates were fabricated using an electrospinning process. And PC-12 cells cultured on substrates were simulated with nerver growth factor and laminar flow shear stress in a fluid flow system The results suggest that microfiber substrates and fluid-induced shear stress are promising for simulating neuronal regeneration in a desired direction.

Seven phenolic compounds (1-7) were isolated from the tubers of Gastrodia elata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of MS and NMR spectral data. p-Ethoxymethyl phenyl-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (1) was proved to be a new compound, with N-(p-hydroxybenzyl)-adenosine (7) isolated from this plant for the first time. In this study, the protective effects of the six constituents (1-6) on PC12 cells against the cytotoxicity induced by KCI and glutamate were also investigated. The viability of the PC12 cells was significantly enhanced by pretreatment with the six phenolic constituents.

The regulatory role of A$\sub$2A/ adenosine receptors in P$_2$ purinoceptor-mediated calcium signaling was investigated in rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. When PC12 cells were treated with 2-p-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino-5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS21680), a specific agonist of the A$\sub$2A/ adenosine receptor, extracellular ATP-evoked [(CA$\^$2+/)]$\sub$i/ rise was inhibited by 20%.(omitted)

Aster scaber T. (Asteraceae) has been used in traditional Korean and Chinese medicine to treat bruises, snakebites, headaches and dizziness. (-) 3,5-Dicaffeoyl-muco-quinic acid (DQ) isolated from Aster scaber induced neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. It has been reported that the activation of the extracellular signal regulated kinase1/2 (Erk 1/2) and phosphoinositide 3 (P13) kinase plays a crucial role in the NGF-induced differentiation of PC12 cells. This study showed that the effect of DQ on neurite outgrowth is mediated via the Erk 1/2 and PI3 kinase-dependent pathways like NGF. (omitted)

The effects of anonaine, an aporphine isoquinoline alkaloid, on dopamine biosynthesis and L-DOPA-induced neurotoxicity in PC12 cells were investigated. Treatment of PC12 cells with 0.05 ${\mu}$M anonaine showed a significant inhibition of dopamine content. The IC$\sub$50/ value of anonaine was 0.05 ${\mu}$M. Under the same conditions, 0.05 ${\mu}$M anonaine also inhibited tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity at 24 h (62.0% inhibition of the control level). TH mRNA levels were also decreased by the treatment with anonaine. (omitted)

This research was performed to investigate the protective effect of Chungpesagan-tang (CPS) against ischemic damage in PC12 cells. To elucidate the mechanism of the protective effect of CPS on ischemic insult, cell viability and changes in activities of Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalase, Caspase 3 and the production of Malondialdehyde were observed after treating PC12 cells with CPS which was metabolized by rat liver homogenate. Pretreatment of CPS with liver homogenate increased its protective effect against ischemic insult by reducing the harmful effect of CPS itself. (omitted)

In vivo aromatic ${\beta}$-carbolines, such as harman and norharman, may easily be formed by cyclization of indoleamines with e.g. aldehydes. Because of the structural similarity to MPTP, ${\beta}$-carbolines have been proposed as endogenous toxins. In this study, we have investigated the effects of harman and norharman on dopamine biosynthesis and L-DOPA-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Treatment of PC12 cells with harman and norharman showed 48.8% and 49.5% inhibition of dopamine content at a concentration of 20 ${\mu}$M and 100 ${\mu}$M for 48h. (omitted)

(1R,9S)-(${\beta}$)-Hydrastine (HS) at 10-50 ${\mu}$M has been proven to have an inhibitory effect on dopamine biosynthesis in PC12 cells by the inhibition of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity and TH gene expression. In the present study, therefore, the effects of HS on the basal and K$\^$+/-induced dopamine release, and Ca$\^$2+/ influx induced by high K$\^$+/ and caffeine in PC12 cells were investigated. The dopamine release by high K$\^$+/ (56 mM) was inhibited by co-incubation of 20 ${\mu}$M HS. Application of HS also significantly reduced the magnitude of the maintained Ca$\^$2+/ influx induced by K$\^$+/ depolarization. (omitted)

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may be stressful for people. Public health actions, such as social distancing, can make people feel isolated and lonely and can increase stress and anxiety. As a result, there is a growing interest towards various materials to relieve stress. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the anti-stress effects of ethanol extract of Ziziphus jujuba in PC12 cells treated with corticosterone and its underling mechanisms. Furthermore, the viability of the cells, the apoptosis of the cells, the level of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (p-ERKs) expression were measured by MTT assay, LDH assay, Hoechst staining assay and western blotting. Our results showed that the extract of Ziziphus jujuba reversed corticosterone-induced damage in PC12 cells, which increased cell viability, decreased LDH release, and attenuated corticosterone-induced apoptosis as compared with the corticosterone-treated group. Therefore, these data suggest that the extract of Ziziphus jujuba could be a good candidate for development as a functional food supplement in the improve the anti-stress effect.
