Effect of Orai inhibitor BTP2 on ER stress in BRL-3A cells. (A) Original Western blots showing the protein expression of PERK, IRE1, ATF6, CHOP, GRP78, ORAI1, NFκB p65, and β-actin in BRL-3A cells incubated without or with NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence or presence of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (B) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the PERK/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (C) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the IRE1/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (D) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the ATF6/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (E) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the GRP78/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (F) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the ORAI1/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (G) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the CHOP/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). (H) Arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 9) of the NFκB p65/β-actin ratio in BRL-3A cells incubated without (white bar) or with (black bar) NEFA (1.2 mM, 12 h) in the absence (left bars) or presence (right bars) of Orai inhibitor BTP2 (200 nM). ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01 indicate significant difference from control; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 indicate significant difference from NEFAs alone (one-way ANOVA).
