Mfn2 knockdown relieves endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ decrease. FLUOFORTE® Calcium Assay and thapsigargin were used to detect ER Ca2+ concentrations by VarioskanFlash. Taking the hypoxia group as the reference, both the NC and hypoxia + Si groups showed higher ER Ca2+ concentrations. ER: Endoplasmic reticulum; Mfn2: Mitofusin-2; NC: Normal culture. cP < 0.001.
