ERS alleviator (4-PBA) induces proliferation and weakens ERS and apoptosis in fluorine-exposed AML12 cells. (a) CCK-8 presented the proliferation change in AML12 cells processed with NaF and 4-PBA. (b) PERK, Sirt-1, GRP-78, ATF6, CHOP, and caspase-3 expressions were credited by applying Western blot in AML12 cells after administration with NaF and 4-PBA. (c) The gray value of each protein was quantified, respectively. , vs. control group; &, &&& vs. F50 group.
