Figure 2. OSBPL2 absence induces apoptosis in H2O2-treated HEI-OC1 cells. (A) OSBPL2 protein levels in HEI-OC1 cells transfected with shNC and sh-OSBPL2. (B) CCK-8 assay for the viability of HEI-OC1 cells from H2O2 and H2O2+sh-OSBPL2 groups. (C) TUNEL assay for the apoptosis of HEI-OC1 cells from each group. (D) Bax and Bcl-2 protein levels in HEI-OC1 cells from each group. All in vitro experiments were performed in triplicate (n = 3). * P<0.05; ** P<0.01.
