Effect of NPPB on ER stress-associated markers. ER stress markers and ER stress-associated caspase-dependent apoptosis markers ATF6, JNK, CHOP, caspase-12, PERK and p-PERK were measured via western blotting. β-actin was used as an internal control. The results are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=3). *P<0.05; **P<0.01. HLEC, human lens epithelial cell; NPPB, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino) benzoic acid; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; ATF6, activating transcription factor 6; CHOP, C/EBP homologous protein; p-PERK, phosphorylated protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase.
