KUS121 prevents ATP depletion and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. (a) Measurement of ATP concentration. Primary cortical neurons were exposed to vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) or 100 μM KUS121 under control conditions or under OGD for 1.5 h. Then, ATP was measured (n = 6; *p < 0.05). (b) Left: Western blot analyses on CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and valosin-containing protein (VCP). Primary cortical neurons were treated with 0.25 μg/mL tunicamycin for 6 h with vehicle (DMSO) or 100 μM KUS121 and then subjected to western blot analyses. Right: Graph showing the ratio of CHOP to β-actin expression levels (n = 4; *p < 0.05).
