| Bioactivity | Anisomycin is a potent protein synthesis inhibitor which interferes with protein and DNA synthesis by inhibiting peptidyl transferase or the 80S ribosome system[1]. Anisomycin is a JNK activator, which increases phospho-JNK[2][3]. Anisomycin is a bacterial antibiotic[4]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | To examine whether JNK has a core role in colistin-induced neurotoxicity in PC-12 cells, an SP600125 (a highly selective inhibitor of JNK) and Anisomycin (a potent activator) are used in this study. In order to select an appropriate concentration, PC-12 cells are treated with a range of SP600125 (0-80 μM) and Anisomycin (0-20 μM) respectively for 24 h. The results show that the cells viability significantly decreases by SP600125 treatment in a concentration-dependent manner, observed at the concentrations greater than 20 μM (p<0.01). Similarly the cells viability is inhibited by Anisomycin treatment (≥8 μM) (p<0.05) [1]. | ||||||||||||
