Che JT, Zhang JT, Qu ZW, Wei G: Effect of tetrandrine on proto-oncogene c-fos expression in rat cerebrum. . Zhongguo Yao Li Xue Bao. 1997 Jul;18(4):371-3.
AIM: To detect the effect of tetrandrine (Tet) on c-fos gene expression in cerebrum induced by lindane, a neurotoxicant which activates Ca2+ channels. METHODS: Northern and dot blotting, dual wavelength thin layer chromatography scanner, were used in this study. RESULTS: Lindane 30 mg.kg-1 given by intragastric gavage (i.g.) increased the expression of c-fos gene to 146 mm2 in rat cerebrum 1 h after treatment. Tet 1, 2, and 4 mg.kg-1 given by i.g. 30 min prior to lindane reduced c-fos gene expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Expressed genes reached only 86, 40, and 39 mm2, respectively. CONCLUSION: Tet inhibited c-fos gene expression in rat cerebrum induced by Ca2+ agonist-lindane. |
