LPA effects on cell viability and cytotoxicity in spinal cord neurons. (a) Observation of primary spinal cord neurons with microscope (100x). (b) The expression of β-tubulin in spinal cord neurons were measured by Immunofluorescence (200x). (c, e) spinal cord neurons were treated with different concentrations of LPA for 24 h, the cell viability was measured by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, the LDH release was measured by LDH assay kit. (d) Cell viability was observed by microscope (100x). Asterisks indicate statistical significance (, ).
