Fig. 2. Effects of VPA on the mRNA expression of α-synuclein in rat primary astrocytes. Rat primary astrocytes were treated with various concentrations of VPA (0.01~1 mM) at 37℃. The expression of α-synuclein mRNA was determined by RT-PCR after the treatment of VPA. Graph is the quantification data of α-synuclein and GAPDH expression level by densitometry. Values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. of five experiments. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 vs. control.
