Protective effect of hypoxic preconditioning and BDNF overexpression 24 h after OGD. A Double staining of cells with Hoechst 33342 (HO342) and propidium iodide (PI) and merged images (Merge) 24 h after 40-min OGD. B Cytogram of the viability of hippocampal cells (X-axis, intensity of PI fluorescence; Y-axis, intensity of Hoechst 33342 fluorescence; cells were stained with probes 24 h after HP). C Effects of HP, BDNF, and its knockdown on the induction of necrosis and apoptosis 24 h after OGD. Percentages of living cells (black) and cells in which early apoptosis (violet), apoptosis (green), and necrosis (red) were detected. Cultures were returned to a CO2 incubator for 24 h after HP, then used in OGD experiments (40-min OGD) and returned to the CO2 incubator for 24 h, after which, they were stained with HO342 and PI. (***P ≤ 0.001, HP vs Scrambled, AAV-BDNF + HP vs Scrambled, and BDNF-KD + HP vs Scrambled; **P = 0.008, HP vs AAV-BDNF + HP; ***P ≤ 0.001, HP vs BDNF-KD + HP and AAV-BDNF + HP vs BDNF-KD + HP).
