Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of OGD/R-induced activation of cGAS-STING pathway and ox-mtDNA-Related Proteins in HT22 cells by mitochondrial DNA depletion A. PCR validation of mitochondrial DNA levels in mtDNA-depleted HT22 cell model induced by EtBr treatment. Data are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 3. B-D. WB detection of the expression levels of key cGAS pathway proteins (cGAS, STING, TBK1, IRF3, and P65) and phosphorylated proteins (pSTING, pTBK1, pIRF3, pP65) in HT22 cells in the blank control group, EtBr treatment group, OGD/R 24 h group, and EtBr treatment + OGD/R 24 h group. Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3. E, F. WB detection of LONP1, OGG1, and FEN1 expression levels in HT22 cells from the control, EtBr, OGD/R, and EtBr treatment + OGD/R groups. B and C Data are presented as mean ± SD, n = 3. G. Immunofluorescence microscopy observation of changes in mitochondrial membrane potential labeled by the JC-1 kit in HT22 cells of the control, OGD/R, and CsA treatment + OGD/R groups. ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001.
