Fig. 4. Contribution of BCL-2 family genes to protecting human adult OLs from metabolic injury.

Fig. 4

a Changes in RNA expression of the BH3-only genes in human adult OLs due to glucose deprivation. Average RNA expression levels of members of the BH3-only family in media containing low concentration of glucose (LG) or in optimal culture media (N1) derived by microarray analysis of human adult OLs. N = 3 independent biological samples. bd Effects of inhibition of the BCL-2 family on cell death of human adult OLs. Cells were cultured in optimal culture media (N1) and in media with no glucose (NG) and treated with the specific inhibitor of BCL-XL WEHI-539 and the non-specific inhibitor ABT737 in N1 and NG media for two days. Cells treated only with DMSO were used as the vehicle control. N = 3 independent biological samples. Data are presented as (b) number of cells present; c %PI+ cells and d %TUNEL+ cells. Mean ± SEM for each condition in the figure. Significant levels for the ANOVA/Dunnett’s test for paired samples with DMSO as reference: *(<0.05), **(<0.01).
