This study investigated the cytoprotective effects of apigenin against TBBPA-mediated cytotoxicity in SK-N-MC cells. Our results demonstrated that treatment of SK-N-MC cells with apigenin increased the cell viability, which was decreased by TBBPA, and reduced apoptosis and autophagy induced by TBBPA. Although we did not observe any change in the levels of IL-1β and nitrite in cultured cells after TBBPA treatment, apigenin was found to decrease the production of these pro-inflammatory mediators. Apigenin decreased the intracellular Ca<sup>2+</sup> concentration, NOX4 level, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial membrane potential loss and increased the mitochondrial biogenesis and nuclear Nrf2 levels that were reduced by TBBPA.
