Induction of Expression of p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Intracellular Domain Does Not Induce Expression or Enhance Activity of Mitochondrial Complex II

Table 1

Percent cell survival (MTS assay) of p75ICD- or mock-transfected NIH 3T3 cells treated with H2O2 and p75NTR- or mock-transfected SH-EP1 cells treated with fenretinide. In both cases, note the potentiation of the cytocidal effects of oxidative stress by induced p75NTR or p75ICD. Results represent mean ± SEM; determinations at each concentration.
