Figure Legend Snippet: Yoda1 + TRAIL apoptotic pathway. (A) Yoda1 is able to activate Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, under static conditions. This leads to Ca 2+ influx and a signaling cascade that enhances TRAIL-induced permeabilization of the mitochondria, resulting in increased apoptosis. (B) GsMTx-4 inhibits Piezo1 and other mechanosensitive ion channels, decreasing Ca 2+ influx and the synergistic effects of Yoda1. (C) Calpeptin inhibits calpain, decreasing the effect of extracellular Ca 2+ and leading to increased cell viability following treatment. (D) Bax channel blocker (BCB) inhibits Bax, blocking the effects of both Yoda1 and TRAIL, largely increasing cell viability.
Techniques Used: Blocking Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Cell viability after inhibition of the Yoda1 + TRAIL apoptotic pathway. (A) The effect of GsMTx-4 on Piezo1 represented by the normalized Ca 2+ influx in GBM cells following GsMTX-4 inhibition. (B) The effect of calpeptin (Calp) on the Yoda1 + TRAIL apoptotic pathway represented via GBM mitochondrial depolarization. (C) The effect of BCB on the Yoda1 + TRAIL apoptotic pathway represented via GBM mitochondrial depolarization. No significance (ns), * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005, **** p < 0.001.
Techniques Used: Inhibition
