1 Metformin Alleviated Abeta-Induced Apoptosis via the Suppression of JNK MAPK Signaling Pathway in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
2 The aim of the current study is to investigate the role of metformin in Abeta-induced cytotoxicity and explore the underlying mechanisms. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
3 First, the experimental results show that metformin salvaged the neurons exposed to Abeta in a concentration-dependent manner with MTT and LDH assay. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
4 Metformin decreased hyperphosphorylated JNK induced by Abeta; however, the protection of metformin against Abeta was blocked when anisomycin, the activator of JNK, was added to the medium, indicating that metformin performed its protection against Abeta in a JNK-dependent way. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
5 Metformin decreased hyperphosphorylated JNK induced by Abeta; however, the protection of metformin against Abeta was blocked when anisomycin, the activator of JNK, was added to the medium, indicating that metformin performed its protection against Abeta in a JNK-dependent way. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
6 Metformin decreased hyperphosphorylated JNK induced by Abeta; however, the protection of metformin against Abeta was blocked when anisomycin, the activator of JNK, was added to the medium, indicating that metformin performed its protection against Abeta in a JNK-dependent way. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
7 Taken together, our findings demonstrate that metformin may have a positive effect on Abeta-induced cytotoxicity, which provides a preclinical strategy against AD for elders with diabetes. Metformin amyloid beta precursor protein Homo sapiens
