Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of GMF on MPP+ induced NRF2 translocation in BV2 microglial cells. The BV2 and BV2-G cells were seeded in a T25 culture flask and cultured under standard conditions. Cells were incubated with MPP+ (0.1 mM) for 24 h. After the incubation period, cells were washed with PBS lysed and cytosolic and nuclear fractions separated. Aliquots were subjected to western blot analysis (A). Decreased nuclear and increased cytosolic expression level of NRF2 was found in BV2-G cells as compared with BV2 cells. Bar graphs shows the mean densitometry analysis of bands after normalizing with β-actin as a loading control of each group (B and C). Values are given as mean ± SEM of three experiments in each group. Statistical significance was assessed by independent student t-test using GraphPad InStat prism-7 software. p<0.001 untreated controls vs MPP+-treated cells; p<0.05 and p<0.001 MPP+-treated BV2 cells vs MPP+-treated BV2-G cells. The p value less than <0.05 was considered as statistically significant in all the experiments.
Article Snippet: Statistical analysis All the results were expressed as mean ± SEM and statistical analysis of the data was done by using GraphPad InStat prism-7 software.
