14-3-3ζ suppresses ER stress gene expressions for neuronal survival. (A) PTA inhibited ER stress induced by OGD/R (DIOC6(3) and ER-Tracker Red) in Neuro-2A cells. (B) PTA inhibited intracellular calcium overload induced by OGD/R in Neuro-2A cells. (C) PTA increased Neuro-2A cell viability against TU, TG, and CI. (D) PTA-dependent cell protection against TU, TG or CI was blocked by 14-3-3ζ siRNA in Neuro-2A cells. (E) PTA inhibited expressions of ER stress-related proteins BIP and CHOP in Neuro-2A cells. (F) PTA inhibited ER stress induced by TU, TG, or CI using ER-Tracker Red staining assay in Neuro-2A cells. (G) PTA inhibited ER stress induced by TU, TG, or CI using DIOC6(3) staining assay in Neuro-2A cells. (H) PTA inhibited intracellular calcium overload induced by TU, TG, or CI using Ca2+-sensitive dye Fluo-3/AM staining assay in Neuro-2A cells. Scale bars = 10 μm.
