摘　　要：Aim： To investigate the neuroprotective effect of propofol and its intracellular mechanism on neurons in vitro. Methods： Cell viability was determined with 3-（4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide reduction. Apoptotic cell death was determined by Hoechst 33258 staining and a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. The caspase-3 activity was measured by fluorometric assay. Mitogenactivated protein （MAP） kinase phosphorylation was detected with Western blotting. Results： The pretreatment of rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC 12 with propofol （1-10 μmol/L） resulted in a significant recovery from hydrogen peroxide （H2O2）-induced cell death and the inhibition of H2O2 induced caspase-3 activation and PC12 cell apoptosis. Propofol inhibited the H2O2-induced p38 MAP kinase, but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase or extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 activations. Conclusion： Propofol might attenuate H2O2-induced PC 12 cell death through the inhibition of signaling pathways mediated by the p38 MAP kinase.Aim： To investigate the neuroprotective effect of propofol and its intracellular mechanism on neurons in vitro.
