Parkin deregulation induced by α-Syn treatment decreases PGC1α expression in PC12 cells. (A) PGC1α immunoreactivity normalized to GAPDH in pcDNA and pcDNA-Parkin PC12 cells treated with α-Syn for 24 h at a concentration of 5 μM. Data were normalized to the untreated control group (=100%) and represent the mean value ± SD for eight independent experiments (n = 8). *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 compared to pcDNA control cells; ###p < 0.001 compared to pcDNA cells treated with α-Syn, using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. (B) PGC1α immunoreactivity normalized to GAPDH in Parkin knock-down PC12 cells. Data were normalized to the untreated control group (=100%) and represent the mean value ± SD for 10 independent experiments (n = 10). ***p < 0.001 compared to corresponding control siRNA, using Student’s t-test. (C) The mRNA level of Tfam in pcDNA and pcDNA-Parkin PC12 cells treated with α-Syn for 24 h at a concentration of 5 μM. The mRNA level was measured by real-time PCR and normalized to Actb (β-actin). Data represent the mean value ± SD for six independent experiments (n = 6). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to pcDNA control cells using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. (D) The mRNA level of Tfam in Parkin knock-down PC12 cells. The mRNA level was measured by real-time PCR and normalized to Actb (β-actin). Data represent the mean value ± SD for four independent experiments (n = 4). (E) The mRNA level of Nrf-1 in pcDNA and pcDNA-Parkin PC12 cells treated with α-Syn for 24 h at a concentration of 5 μM. The mRNA level was measured by real-time PCR and normalized to Actb (β-actin). Data represent the mean value ± SD for six independent experiments (n = 6). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared to pcDNA control cells using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post hoc test. (F) The mRNA level of Nrf-1 in Parkin knock-down PC12 cells. The mRNA level was measured by real-time PCR and normalized to Actb (β-actin). Data represent the mean value ± SD for four independent experiments (n = 4).
