Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS:
Triptolide treatment resulted in death in both cell lines within 72 hours, with sustained increases in intracellular calcium. IMR-32 cells underwent cell death by apoptosis. Conversely, light chain 3II (LC3II) protein levels were elevated in SH-SY5Y cells, which is consistent with autophagy. Confocal microscopy confirmed increased LC3 puncta in SH-SY5Y cells compared with control cells. Heat shock pathway protein and mRNA levels decreased with treatment. NF-κB assays demonstrated inhibition of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-induced activity with triptolide. CONCLUSIONS:
