Geniposide suppresses apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells following formaldehyde treatment. SH-SY5Y cells ( A ) were treated with 0.12 mM formaldehyde in the presence ( B) or absence of 100 μM geniposide ( C ) for 24 h, and then the rate of apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Geniposide suppressed SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis following formaldehyde treatment as indicated. The percentages of apoptotic SH-SY5Y cells ( D ) were analyzed. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, vs. the group incubated with formaldehyde alone. The figures ( A,B,C ) are representative of three independent experiments.
