Figure Lengend Snippet: Assessment of the effect of CIP2A knockdown on rotenone induced PD pathology. a , c Western blotting assays were used to evaluate the interference effects of the three siRNAs on the CIP2A expression. b , d IF staining of CIP2A (green) confirmed the effect of CIP2A knockdown by siCIP2A1. e , f , g , h Representative IF staining of the p-α-syn and α-syn in the control, siRNA-treated, rotenone-treated, or siRNA + rotenone-treated group. i The PP2A activity was decreased after rotenone exposure but increased after siCIP2A treatment. k, j The α-syn expression decreased after treatment with the three pairs of CIP2A siRNAs. l , n CIP2A interacts directly with α-syn. Co-IP and western blot analysis of the CIP2A and α-syn from the SH-SY5Y cells; normal rabbit IgG served as the controls. m Confocal fluorescence microscopy showing colocalization of CIP2A and α-syn. Values are given as means ± SEM. Statistical significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. Histograms summarize the mean IF signal intensity detected ± SEM as measured in gray values. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
Article Snippet: Rotenone and MPTP were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (R8875, M0896, St. Louis, MO, USA); rabbit polyclonal α-syn phospho-S129 antibody, sheep polyclonal α-syn antibody, and sheep polyclonal tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) antibody were obtained from Abcam (ab51253, ab6162, ab113, UK); rabbit polyclonal PP2A and CIP2A antibodies were from CST (2038 T, 14805S, MA, USA); rabbit polyclonal CIP2A antibody was obtained from ABclonal (A12267, Wuhan, China), while rabbit polyclonal α-syn antibody was purchased from Genetex (GTX112799, San Antonio, TX, USA). siRNA for CIP2A was designed by RiboBio Co., Ltd., Guangzhou, China, as follows: siCIP2A1 CTGTGGTTGTGTTTGCACT; siCIP2A2 GCTCTACTGCGCTGGTTAA; siCIP2A3 CACGGACACTTGCTAGTAT.
