Figure 6. OSBPL2 deletion promotes H2O2-induced HEI-OC1 cell apoptosis by downregulating FOXG1 expression. (A) The cell viability of HEI-OC1 cells from H2O2, H2O2+MK2206, H2O2+MK2206+FOXG1-OE, H2O2+sh-OSBPL2, H2O2+sh-OSBPL2+SC79, and H2O2+sh-OSBPL2+SC79+sh-FOXG1 groups. (B) The cell apoptosis of HEI-OC1 cells from each group. (C) 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.
