NGR1 reduced cell apoptosis via PLC. (A) The MTT assay showed that m-3M3FBS pretreatment abolished the neuroprotective effects of NGR1, and there was lower cell viability with m-3M3FBS treatment in the OGD/R + NGR1 + m-3M3FBS group than in the OGD/R + NGR1 group; m-3M3FBS treatment independently aggravated cell injury. (B) LDH leakage was higher in cells exposed to m-3M3FBS than in the OGD/R + NGR1 group; m-3M3FBS treatment independently aggravated LDH leakage. (C and D) TUNEL-positive nuclei are indicated by green fluorescent staining, and total nuclei are indicated by blue DAPI staining. M-3M3FBS significantly blocked the neuroprotective effects of NGR1. There were more TUNEL-positive cells in the OGD/R + NGR1 + m-3M3FBS group than in the OGD/R + NGR1 group. m-3M3FBS treatment alone led to more TUNEL-positive cells, and U73122 could inhibit cell apoptosis after OGD/R. Scale bar = 100 μm, *p < 0.05 compared with the OGD/R groups, # p < 0.05 compared with the OGD/R + NGR1 groups, n = 5, data presented as mean ± SD.
