Beclin1 promotes apoptosis through the Nupr1/Chop axis-activated classical mitochondria apoptotic signaling pathways. HUVECs were transfected with siRNAs targeting Nupr1 (a), Chop (c), Beclin1 (e), or control siRNA for 48 h followed by METH (1.25 mM) treatment for 24 h. Western blot (a, c, e and j) and quantitative analyses (b, d, f and g–i, k–m) were performed to evaluate the expression of Beclin1, cleaved-PARP (Cl-PARP), cleaved-caspase-3 (Cl-casp3), Bax, Bcl-2, Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, cytosolic cyto c (Cyt cyt-c), mitochondrial cyto c (Mit cyt-c) and Cyt cyt-c/Mit cyt-c ratio. (n) Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was analyzed with fluorescent probe JC-1 assay. (o) Quantitative results of JC-1 assay. Data are presented as mean±S.D. (n=3). *P<0.05 versus the saline vehicle-treated ctrl group and **P<0.05 versus the scrambled+METH group (one-way ANOVA)
