Osthole inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in BV-2 microglia cells in kainic acid-induced epilepsy via modulating PI3K/AKt/mTOR signalling way

Context: Osthole is a natural coumarin compound most frequently extracted from plants of the Apiaceae family such as Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson, Angelica pubescens Maxin.f., and Peucedanum ostruthium (L.). Osthole is considered to have potential therapeutic applications for the treatment of diseas...

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of osthole on PI3K/AKt/mTOR expression in kainic acid (KA)-activated BV-2 microglia cells. Materials and methods: Optimal culture concentration and time of osthole were investigated by MTT assay. The concentration of osthole was tested from 10 to 400 μM and the culture time was tested from 2 to 72 h.
