A, B Western blot analysis of Pdx1, p-Foxo1Ser256, Foxo1, p-Akt Ser473 and Akt in NIT-1 cells transfected with siFoxo1 or control siRNAs, and then treated with SAFit2 (A). Relative proteins expression levels were quantified by Image J (B). C, D Annexin-V/7-AAD staining and flow cytometry analysis in NIT-1 cells transfected with siFoxo1 or control siRNAs and then treated with cytokines, or cytokines + SAFit2 (C). Quantification of PE+7AAD+/PE+7AAD- cells (D). E, F Western blot analysis of FOXO1, BCL2, BAX in primary human islets transfected with siFOXO1 or control siRNAs and then treated with cytokines, or cytokines + SAFit2 (E). Relative proteins expression levels were quantified by Image J (F). Experiments were repeated for 3 times. Student’s t-test. Mean ± SEM, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
