Figure 4. BAG3 attenuates the toxicity of mutant αB-crystallin.

Figure 4

BAG3 inhibits apoptosis caused by αB-crystallin mutant in C2C12 cells. αB-crystallin wild type or R120G was expressed with or without Flag-tagged BAG3 in C2C12 myoblast cells, and cells were cultured with differentiation media to induce myotube differentiation. After fixing cells, αB-crystallin and cell nuclei were stained with anti-αB-crystallin antibody and Dapi solution, respectively. Cells with nuclear fragmentation typical of apoptosis were counted and statistically analyzed.
