Figure 10. PLK2 knockdown attenuated the protection of PCA. (A) Representative western blot bands showing the expressions of PLK2, p-GSK3β and nucleus (Nu) Nrf2 when SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with PLK2 siRNA (si-PLK2) and Non-targeting siRNA (si-Non) for 72h. (BD) The quantification of PLK2, p-GSK3β and nucleus Nrf2 levels in si-PLK2 group and the others groups. (E) Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. Data were presented as mean ± S.D., n = 6; *P < 0.05 vs. control group; #P< 0.05 vs. MPP+group; &P < 0.05 vs. si-Non group.
