Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of IGFBP2 on apoptosis induced by 6‐OHDA in differentiated PC12 cells. The differentiated PC12 cells were co‐treated with rIGFBP2 and rIGF‐1 for 24 h, and then subjected to 6‐OHDA for 24 h. (A) CCK‐8 assay was performed to determine cell viability ( F (4, 10) = 45.19). (B) LDH content was evaluated using a LDH detection kit ( F (4, 10) = 45.50). (C) Apoptosis induced by 6‐OHDA was determined with Hoechst 33258 staining ( F (4, 10) = 160.7). (D) Bax, Bcl‐2, cleaved caspase‐9, and cleaved caspase‐3 expression were determined by western blotting in PC12 cells (Bax, F (4, 10) = 82.57; Bcl‐2, F (4, 10) = 136.6; cleaved caspase‐9, F (4, 10) = 53.36; cleaved caspase‐3, F (4, 10) = 65.57). Data were expressed as mean ± SD. Group sizes were: N = 3 wells per group. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, ^ p < 0.05, ^^ p < 0.01, ^^^ p < 0.001, # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, + p < 0.05, +++ p < 0.001. * = control versus 6‐OHDA, ^ = 6‐OHDA versus rIGFBP2 + 6‐OHDA, # = 6‐OHDA versus rIGF‐1 + 6‐OHDA, + = rIGFBP2 + 6‐OHDA versus rIGF‐1 + rIGFBP2 + 6‐OHDA.
