Effect of PELI1 silence on Aβ-induced BV-2 and HT22 cells. (a, b) The mRNA and protein levels of PELI1 in BV-2 or HT22 cells treated with Aβ (AD model), Aβ+siNC (negative control), and Aβ+siPELI1, respectively, by qPCR and western blotting. (c, d) Cell viability of BV-2 or HT22 cells treated with Aβ, Aβ+siNC, and Aβ+siPELI1, respectively, by CCK-8 assay. (e) The cell apoptosis of BV-2 or HT22 cells treated with Aβ, Aβ+siNC, and Aβ+siPELI1, respectively, by TUNEL assay (blue, nucleus; green, TUNEL-positive cells). (f) The expression of Traf3, phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and P38, and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 and Bax) in BV-2 or HT22 cells treated with Aβ, Aβ+siNC, and Aβ+siPELI1, respectively, by western blotting. Each experiment was repeated three times. vs. control group; ### vs. AD model group.
