Figure Lengend Snippet: A , B Cytotoxicity assay shows the effect of IRE1a inhibition using MKC or 4 μ 8c on cell death induced by aSyn in Tmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. Results are expressed as % of LDH release. C Cytotoxicity assay shows the effect of PERK inhibitor on cell death induced by aSyn in mTmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. D A RT-qPCR assay shows effective double knockdown of both mTmbim6 (left panel) and mIre1 a (right panel) in SN4741 cells. Results are expressed as fold change, and bars represent mean ± SEM. One way ANOVA, Dunnett´s multiple comparation test. E Cytotoxicity assay shows downregulation of mIRE1a over cell death induced by aSyn in mTmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. Results are expressed as % of LDH release. F Cytotoxicity assay shows the JNK inhibitor AS60125 over cell death induced by aSyn in mTmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. G Cytotoxicity assay shows the BAX inhibitor BAI-1 over cell death induced by aSyn in mTmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. H Cytotoxicity assay shows the pan-caspase inhibitor ZVAD-FMK (casp-inh) over cell death induced by aSyn in mTmbim6 KD cells after 24 h. All bars represent mean ± SEM. In ( D ), a one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s multiple comparison test was performed, whereas in ( E , F , G , H ), a two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test was conducted. Statistical significance (p < 0.05) between samples is indicated in the figures as follows: *=p < 0.05; **=p < 0.01; ***=p < 0.001; ****=p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Briefly, the fixed cells were incubated overnight with an anti-HA antibody (Invitrogen-Thermo, Cat. 21683, Waltham, MA, USA) and anti-IRE1a antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat. 3294S, Danvers, MA, USA).
