Interaction of CHOP with GABAB receptors is responsible for OGD-induced down-regulation of cell surface receptors. Neurons were transfected with a CHOP mutant that is not able to interact with GABAB2 (CHOPΔLZ) and EGFP. After 24 h, neurons were subjected to OGD for 10 min, followed by a recovery period of 24 h. Subsequently, neurons were stained for cell surface GABAB receptors (blue) and endogenous CHOP (red). CHOPΔLZ-overexpressing neurons were selected by means of EGFP expression. Cultures not subjected to OGD served as controls. Top panel, representative images. Scale bar = 5 μm. Bottom panel, quantification of cell surface GABAB receptors. Data are means ± S.E.; 38 (control, non-transfected), 27 (OGD, non-transfected), 36 (control, transfected), and 45 (OGD, transfected) neurons from three experiments. **, p < 0.01; n.s., not significant (p > 0.05); Student's t test.
