Effects of IRE1α inhibitor 4μ8C and JNK inhibitor SP6000125 on loss of cell viability and apoptosis of pEGFP-GRA15II-transfected cells. Choriocarcinoma JEG-3 cells were transfected with either the empty vector (pEGFP, encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein) or pEGFP-GRA15II for 24 h. Tunicamycin (TM) treated (1 μM, 24 h) cells served as the control. Cells were treated with either 4μ8C (100 nM, 12 h) or SP6000125 (20 μM, 12 h) 12 h after pEGFP-GRA15II transfection. a Cell viability was measured using the MTS (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-5-[3-carboxymethoxyphenyl]-2-[4-sulfophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium) assay. b Cell apoptosis was determined by the phycoerythrin-annexin V/7-AAD flow cytometry assay. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
