Fig 5. Propofol attenuates TG-induced BiP and CHOP expression in ARPE-19 cells.

<p>(A) Representative western blot for BiP. (B) The band densities of the BiP blots were estimated using ImageJ software. Data shown are representative of 3 separate experiments, and values are given as the mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance, and all pairwise multiple comparisons carried out using a Tukey’s post-hoc test. #p<0.05 vs. control. *p<0.05 vs. TG. (C-D) The expression level of (C) BiP and (D) CHOP were measured by immunofluorescence staining in ARPE-19 cells after TG stimulation. In addition, the phenotype of the nuclei were evaluated using DAPI staining. Scale bar=20 μm</p
