From: The protective effect of geniposide on human neuroblastoma cells in the presence of formaldehyde

Figure 3

TLJN and geniposide have a neuroprotective effect on SH-SY5Y cells exposed to formaldehyde. Conditions were set as per Figure 2, except for the observation of nuclei (Hoechst, blue) and F-actin (Phalloidin, green). SH-SY5Y cells were incubated with 0.12 mM formaldehyde in the presence of 100 μM geniposide ( C, H, M), 10 μM geniposide Rg1 ( D, I, N ), or TLJN containing 100 μM of geniposide and 10 μM of ginsenoside Rg1 ( B, G, L ) at different time intervals (6, 12 and 24 h). Cells treated with formaldehyde alone ( E, J, O ) and no treatment ( A, F, K ) were used as controls. Scale bars = 20 μM. Cell density assays of SH-SY5Y cells at different time intervals (6, 12, and 24 h) ( P ). Ctrl, control; FA, formaldehyde; Gp, geniposide; Rg1, ginsenoside Rg1. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments.
