Figure 4. Mfn1, Mfn2, OPA1, and Fis1 protein expression in neurons following OGD.
Representative western blots are shown for Mfn1 (A), Mfn2 (C), OPA1 (E), and Fis1 (G) with their corresponding β-actin blots. Panels B, D, F, and H show relative intensity bar graphs for the same proteins as means ± s.e.m. of n≥3 independent experiments. Mfn1 increased after OGD, whereas Mfn2 decreased after three, but did not change after one h OGD. OPA1 did not change significantly following OGD. Fis1 protein expression does not change following OGD in neurons. *p<0.05 ***p<0.001 vs. control, n≥3 independent experiments. mitofusin1 = Mfn1, mitofusin2 = Mfn2, optic atrophy-1 protein = OPA1, OGD = oxygen-glucose deprivation.
