Fig. 5. Anacardic Acid (AA) and MG149 inhibited fluoride-induced cytochrome-c release in LS8 cells.
Cells were treated with NaF (5 mM) with/without AA or MG149 for 6 h. Cytochrome-c (14 kDa) in the cytosol and in the mitochondria were detected by western blot. (A) AA (30 μM and 50 μM) attenuated fluoride-induced cytochrome-c release in the cytosol. (B) MG149 (30 μM and 50 μM) inhibited fluoride-induced cytochrome-c release in the cytosol. β-actin (44 kDa) was used as a cytosol loading control. VDAC/Porin (35 kDa) was used as a mitochondrial loading control. The numbers show relative protein expression normalized by the loading control (β-actin or VDAC/Porin). Statistical analyses of relative protein expression are shown in Supplementary Fig. 6.
