title: [Regulatory effect of Bcl-2 on the cortical neurons of primary cultured mice with HSV-1 infection].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the effect of Bcl-2 on the cortical neurons of primary cultured mice with HSV-1 infection.
  
  
  METHODS
  Analysis of the expression of Bcl-2 on the cortical neurons of primary cultured fetal mice in vitro infected with HSV-1 for 11 hours or exposed to sorbitol for 5 hours was made by flow cytometry and Western blotting.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The Bcl-2 of the cultured neurons undergoing HSV-1 infection expressed upregulating compared with the mock untreated neurons. The Bcl-2 protein of HSV-1 infected and exposed to sorbitol neurons expressed upregulating compared with the control group. The Bcl-2 protein of the primary cultured 3 day cells expressed higher than that of the primary cultured 7 day cells. The higher neurovirulence, the higher expression of Bcl-2.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Bcl-2 might protect the primary cultured cortical neurons of fetal mice from apoptosis where infected with HSV-1, and thereby the lifespan of host cells may be prolonged.
