Effect of icaritin on autophagy-related protein expression in TDP-43-transfected SH-SY5Y cells.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the protective effect and mechanism of icaritin (ICT) in a SH-SY5Y cells with virus-loaded TAR DNA-binding domain protein 43(TDP-43) by examining the effect of ICT on the expression of autophagy-related proteins in TDP-43-infected SH-SY5Y cells.

Methods

A TDP-43-induced neuronal cell injury model was established by transfecting well-growing SH-SY5Y cells with virus loaded with the TDP-43 gene. The changes in cell viability were detected by the CCK-8 method. After successful transfection, the establishment of the model was verified by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Western blot methods. After the cells were subjected to drug intervention with ICT, the changes in the expression levels of TDP-43, cleaved Caspase-3, LC3 II/I, Beclin-1 and p62 were detec
