Figure 5. Changes in VDAC, complex II and V proteins, and mtDNA expression following 3 h OGD.

Figure 5

Representative western blots for VDAC, Complex II, and Complex V with their corresponding β-actin blots (A, B, C), together with relative intensity values for these proteins (D). VDAC and Complex V proteins showed increased expression, whereas Complex II protein expression did not change significantly following OGD. (E) Shows the changes in mtDNA expression following 3 h of OGD. MtDNA/nuclear DNA ratio significantly increased 12 h following 3 h OGD. *p<0.05 **p<0.005 ***p<0.001 vs. control, n≥3 independent experiments. mtDNA = mitochondrial DNA, OGD = oxygen-glucose deprivation, VDAC = voltage-dependent anion channel.
