Figure Legend Snippet: PM2.5 nasal administration increases protein and mRNA levels of NOX4 in the hypothalamus but not in the hippocampus. ( A , D ) Western blot analysis of NOX4 protein levels in the hypothalamus ( A ) and hippocampus ( D ) following vehicle or PM2.5 treatment. β-actin served as a loading control. ( B , E ) Quantification of NOX4 protein levels from panels A and D, respectively. ( C , F ) Real-time qPCR for NOX4 mRNA level in the ( C ) hypothalamus and ( F ) hippocampus following vehicle or PM2.5 treatment. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, with comparisons made using Student’s t -test in panels ( B , D ). ns., not significant. * p ≤ 0.05 vs. Vehicle, n = 4.
Techniques Used: Western Blot, Control
Figure Legend Snippet: PM2.5 induces ER stress and mitochondrial ROS production, reducing neuronal markers in Neuro-2A cells. ( A ) q-PCR analysis of ER stress markers ATF4 and CHOP in Neuro-2A cells treated with low (1 μg/mL) and high (100 μg/mL) doses of PM2.5. ( B ) Western blot analysis of NOX4 protein levels in Neuro-2A cells treated with vehicle, 1 μg/mL, and 100 μg/mL of PM2.5, with β-actin as a loading control. ( C , D ) Mitochondrial ROS production in Neuro-2A cells treated with PM2.5 (100 μg/mL), showing a significant increase in ROS levels compared to vehicle control. ( E , F ) PM2.5-induced mitochondrial ROS increase was significantly reduced by NOX inhibitors GKT137831 and Apocynin. ( G ) Western blot analysis of β-III-tubulin and VAChT protein levels in Neuro-2A cells treated with increasing concentrations of PM2.5 (1, 3, 10, 30, and 100 μg/mL), with β-actin as a loading control. ( H , I ) Quantifying β-III-tubulin ( H ) and VAChT ( I ) protein levels from panel G, respectively. Scale bars, 5 μm. Bar graphs are expressed as mean ± SEM and analyzed using one-way ANOVA ( A , D , F , H , I ). * p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, **** p ≤ 0.001 vs. Vehicle. # p ≤ 0.05 vs. PM2.5.
