Figure 5 (A) p65 was tagged with green fluorescence (Alexa488) and nuclei were tagged with blue fluorescence (DAPI). Columns indicated the nuclear translocation rate of p65 in Bf-incubated neurons treated with BAI at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 μmol/L. (B) The immunoblots of p-MKK3, MKK3, p-MKK6, MKK6, p-p38, and p38 of neurons were demonstrated. Columns indicate the relative phosphorylation levels of MKK3, MKK6, and p38. (C) Immunoblots of c-caspase3, TNF-α, and GAPDH of neurons. Columns indicate the relative expression levels of c-caspase3 and TNF-α in neurons. (D) Columns indicate the concentrations of TNF-α in cell medium of neurons. [n=10; a difference was significant when compared with neurons incubated with Bf at 280 nmol/L and BAI at 0 μmol/L; b difference was significant when compared with neurons incubated with Bf at 280 nmol/L and BAI at 0.5 μmol/L; c difference was significant when compared with neurons incubated with Bf at 280 nmol/L and BAI at 1.0 μmol/L].
