Necroptosis Mediates TNF-Induced Toxicity of Hippocampal Neurons
Figure 6
TNF-α-induced necrosis of HT-22 cells is largely independent of ROS accumulation and calcium. (a) HT-22 cells were treated with control or BHA or NAC at the indicated concentration 3 h before the treatment of control or TNF-α/z-VAD for 20 h; cell viability was determined by measuring ATP levels. , versus control-. (b) MEF cells were treated with control or BMS NAC at the indicated concentration 3 h before the treatment of control or TNF-α/Smac mimetic/z-VAD for 20 h; cell viability was determined by measuring ATP levels. , versus control-. (c) HT-22 cells were treated with control or LaCl3 or NAC at the indicated concentration 3 h before the treatment of control or TNF-α/z-VAD for 20 h; cell viability was determined by measuring ATP levels. Data are represented as mean ± standard deviation of duplicates. , versus control-. All experiments were repeated three times with similar results.
