Inhibited Apoptosis of C2C12 Myoblasts by a Eupatorium chinense var. simplicifolium Root Extract

We investigated the effects of a Eupatorium chinense var. simplicifolium (EUC) root extract on muscle disorders and explored the underlying mechanism for oxidative stress-induced C 2 C 12 myoblast damage. An EUC pre-treatment reduced the decreased cell viability after an H 2 O 2 treatment. The heat...

Zusammenfassung:We investigated the effects of a Eupatorium chinense var. simplicifolium (EUC) root extract on muscle disorders and explored the underlying mechanism for oxidative stress-induced C 2 C 12 myoblast damage. An EUC pre-treatment reduced the decreased cell viability after an H 2 O 2 treatment. The heat shock protein (HSP) 70 level increased, and the phosphorylation of Jun amino-terminal kinases (JNKs) decreased in the EUC-pre-treated C 2 C 12 myoblasts. The results of the present study demonstrate the potential benefit of a herbal medicine in treating oxidative stress-related muscle disorders.
