Article Title: FABP4 alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated ischemia-reperfusion injury in PC12 cells via regulation of PPARγ
doi: 10.3892/etm.2021.9612
Figure Lengend Snippet: Downregulation of FABP4 in PC12 cells under OGD/R conditions. (A) PC12 cells were maintained under OGD for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 h followed by reoxygenation for 24 h. Cell viability was estimated using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. (B) mRNA expression of FABP4 in PC12 cells exposed to OGD/R were determined by RT-qPCR. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. control. The (C) protein and (D) mRNA expression of FABP4 in PC12 cells were determined by RT-qPCR and western blotting following transfection with FABP4 siRNA or control siRNA. ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. si-Con. (E) The protein expression of FABP4 in PC12 cells exposed to OGD 8 h/R (OGD for 8 h and reoxygenation for 24 h) was determined by western blotting. *** P<0.001 vs. control; ### P<0.001 vs. OGD 8 h/R+si-Con. FABP4, fatty acid binding protein 4; siFABP4, FABP4 small interfering RNA; siCon, control small interfering RNA; OGD/R, oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation; RT-qPCR, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Article Snippet: Cells were transfected with 10 μM FABP4 small interfering RNA (siRNA; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) or negative control siRNA using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), according to the manufacturer's protocol.
