Fig. 7. NTRK1 silencing might induce neuronal damage through the suppression of mitophagy.
A, B The results of NeuN IF staining revealed that rapamycin treatment counteracted the suppression effect of NTRK1 silencing on the expression of NeuN in mouse neurons. n = 3. C, D TUNEL staining indicated that rapamycin treatment reversed the promotion effect of NTRK1 silencing on the apoptosis of mouse neurons. n = 3. E The CCK-8 assay revealed that rapamycin treatment reversed the inhibition effect of silencing NTRK1 on the viability of mouse neurons. n = 3. F, G TOMM20/LC3-II fluorescence staining results revealed that rapamycin treatment abrogated the inhibition effect of NTRK1 silencing on the expression of Parkin1 in the mitochondria of mouse neurons. n = 3. H, I Mitochondria were extracted from the mouse neurons of each group. WB was performed, and it was revealed that rapamycin treatment reversed the suppression effect of NTRK1 silencing on mitophagy. n = 3. **P < 0.01.
