FOXO3 plays a vital role in neuronal apoptosis. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-flag or pcDNA3.1-Tat-flag only for 48 h, or were treated with scramble-siRNA or FOXO3-siRNA for 24 h followed by transfection with pcDNA3.1-Tat-flag for 48 h. (A) Expression of FOXO3 was analyzed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis is on the right (∗∗P < 0.01). (B) Expression of nuclear FOXO3 was analyzed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis is on the right (∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001). (C) Expression of cytoplasmic FOXO3 was analyzed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis is on the right (P < 0.05). (D) Expression of total FOXO3 was analyzed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis is on the right (∗∗P < 0.01). (E) Expression of Bim and Bcl-2 was analyzed by Western blotting. Statistical analysis is on the right (∗∗P < 0.01). (F) Apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells was detected by measuring caspase 3/7 activity, and the statistical analysis is presented (∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001). Statistical analyses of all Western blots were of at least three independent repeated experiments. Vehicle: pcDNA3.1-flag; Tat: pcDNA3.1-Tat-flag. Scramble: scramble-siRNA. siFOXO3: FOXO3-siRNA.
