Article Snippet: After a goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (1 : 100; Wuhan Boster Biological Technology, China) was added for 30 minutes, alkaline phosphatase- (AP-) streptavidin (Boster) was incubated for 30 minutes, and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate/nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (BCIP/NBT, Boster) was then used as a chromogen for 10 min. After PBS washes, the sections were reincubated with primary antibody for rabbit ant-MAP2, GFAP, or GalC, followed by incubation with goat anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 100; Boster) and horseradish peroxidase- (HRP-) streptavidin (Boster).

doi: 10.1016/j.nbd.2018.07.019

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) Representative images showing neurons immunostained for the neuronal marker, MAP2 and GFP and co-stained with nuclear dye, Hoechst 33225, after treatment with vehicle (0.1% DMSO; control), 20 μM NMDA, with or without 48h pretreatment with 20μM H9, B9, G5, G6. Scale bar = 100μm. (b-g). Quantitative analysis of neuronal survival expressed as percent live control neurons. Cypin activators, H9 and G5, prevent neuronal loss after injury, while the inhibitor, B9, and the neutral compound, G6, have no beneficial effect in control cultures. Cypin knockdown induces 75% cell death, and abolishes neuroprotective effects of H9 and G5. Data represent 39-43 samples from three separate trials. **p<0.01, ***p<0.005, ****p<0.001 determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. Error bars indicate ± SEM. (h) Representative images showing neurons immunostained for the neuronal marker, MAP2 and GFP, and co-stained with nuclear dye, Hoechst 33225, after treatment with vehicle (0.1% DMSO; control), 20 μM NMDA, with or without 48h pretreatment with 20 μM H9, B9, G5, G6. Scale bar = 100μm. (i-l). Quantitative analysis of neuronal survival expressed as percent live control neurons. Cypin activators, H9 and G5, prevent neuronal loss after injury, while the inhibitor, B9, and the neutral compound, G6, have no beneficial effect in control cultures. Cypin overexpression prevents neuronal death, and this effect is abolished by pretreatment with B9. Data represent 32-44 samples from three separate trials. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.005, ****p<0.001 determined by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey-Kramer multiple comparisons test. Error bars indicate ± SEM.
