Overexpression of ASNA1, optineurin, or peripherin renders cell less vulnerable to MPP+ treatment. A, cellular lysates obtained from MN9D cells transiently transfected with or without the vector containing T7-ASNA1-FLAG, OPTN-V5, PERI-Myc, or shRNA target sequence for optineurin (shOPTN) were subjected to an immunoblot analysis using the indicated antibodies to confirm overexpression of each tagged protein or knockdown of OPTN. B–E, MN9D cells transiently transfected with T7-ASNA1-FLAG (B), OPTN-V5 (C), PERI-Myc (D), or shRNA target sequence for OPTN (shOPTN, E) were treated with 50 μm MPP+ for the indicated time periods. Viability was measured by the MTT reduction assay. Each bar represents the mean ± S.E. from three independent experiments. Blank represents the cells transfected with an empty vector. The shRNA sequences that target firefly luciferase (shLuc) were used for negative control. ***, p < 0.001; **, p < 0.01; *, p < 0.05.
