Abstract

- Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) promotes SH-SY5Y cell differentiation into neuronal phenotype cell.
- TMP induces neuronal differentiation of SH-SY5Y cell through up-regulating Topoisomerase IIβ (TopoIIβ).
- TMP increases the levels of global acetylated histone H3 and H4 which were positively correlated with TopoIIβ expression.
- Transcriptional activation of TopoIIβ gene is due to hyperacetylation of histone H3 and H4 at its proximal promoter region.
- TMP could be used as a promising candidate in drug-therapy of neuron injuries and neurodegenerative diseases in future.
