The inhibition of vesicle cycle by BoNT/A.

Notes: (A)The vesicle cycle of sympathetic neuron after injection of BoNT/A with different doses in 30-min. FM1-43 together with SB and 0 U/mL, 5 U/mL, 10 U/mL, 25 U/mL BoNT/A were added in different groups. Leica TCS SP5 LSCM was used to observe the changes of fluorescence intensity in 30-min. Live-cell staining images of sympathetic cells labeled with FM1-43(red) in 0,15,30 min are shown. The chart showed the changes of fluorescence intensity at different time points within 30 min(magnification: 400×, bar: 100 µm). (B) The effect of different doses of BoNT/A on the vesicle cycle after 1 hours of injection. The charts showed changes of fluorescence intensity when stimulated with SB after 1 hour of BoNT/A (0 U/mL, 5 U/mL, 10 U/mL, 25 U/mL) intervention in each group. *p<0.05.

Abbreviations: BoNT/A, botulinum neurotoxin type A; Ctrl, control; SB, stimulation buffer.
