| Abstract | The root of Paeonia lactiflora Pall (family Ranunculaceae) or peony root, a herbal medicine, possesses therapeutic potential for neurodegenerative diseases. The isomers paeoniflorin (PF) and albiflorin (AF) are major constituents contained in peony root. Our previous study has shown notable neuroprotective effects of PF. In the present study, we further compared the effects of AF and PF against glutamate (Glu)-induced cell damage and the underlying mechanisms in differentiated PC12 cells. Both AF and PF significantly ameliorated Glu-induced reduction of cell viability, nuclear and mitochondrial apoptotic alteration, reactive oxygen species accumulation, and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)/Bax ratio. The two isomers also enhanced phosphorylation of AKT and its downstream element glycogen synthase kinase-3β, and this effect was abrogated by the AKT inhibitor LY294002. PF, but not AF, however, suppressed intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ overload and the expression of calcium/calmodulin protein kinase II (CaMKII). The improvement of cell damage by the CaMKII inhibitor KN93 further confirms the role of CaMKII in PF-mediated neuroprotection. These results suggest that both AF and PF possess robust effects in protecting neuronal cells against Glu toxicity. PF further displayed remarkable effects in preventing intracellular Ca$^{2+}$ overload and suppressing overexpression of CaMKII. Differential mechanisms may be involved in neuroprotective action of the two isomers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
