By using the data of Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we present a case study of the contraction of the overlying coronal loop and the rotation motion of a sigmoid filament on 2012 May 22. At the beginning of the filament eruption, the overlying coronal loop experienced a significant contraction. In the following, the filament started to rotate counterclockwise. We also carried the simulation to investigate the process of the filament eruption.
