(J) PP2A activity is increased by netrin-1 depletion and reversed by reduced expression of PR65 beta. Graph indicates PP2A activity ratio for each condition (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). *,**, or *** refer to statistical analyses.

Detection of Human Netrin-1 by Western Blot Netrin-1 protects against cell death during UPR. (A–H) Netrin-1 depletion. (A–E) HepaRG cells were transfected with netrin-1 siRNA, treated with DTT, and harvested in a time course assay. (A) Netrin-1 protein knockdown by siRNA was validated by immunoblot (representative result, n = 3). (B) XBP1 splicing was confirmed by RT-PCR (representative result, n = 3). (C) UPR increases the dependence of cells toward netrin-1 for survival. Graphs indicate the difference in cell death (in percentages) (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (D) UPR increases the sensitivity of cells toward netrin-1 for caspase-3 activation. Graphs indicate caspase-3 activity ratios (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (E) Netrin-1 depletion increases apoptosis. Graph indicates apoptotic cell death ratio by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (F–H) Netrin-1 inhibition using a neutralizing antibody. HepaRG cells were seeded and treated with a control (H4) or anti–netrin-1 antibody (2F5) the same day. Cells were treated with DTT 3 days after addition and harvested after the indicated time points. (F) Assessment of XBP1 mRNA splicing (representative result, n = 3). (G) Netrin-1 neutralization enhances caspase-3 activity. Graph indicates the caspase-3 activity ratios between 2F5 and H4-treated cells (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (H) Netrin-1 depletion increases apoptosis. Graph indicates the apoptotic cell death ratio as assessed after propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry of netrin-1–depleted and control cells (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (I–M) Netrin-1 forced expression. HepaRG cells were transfected with control (VR1-HA) and netrin-1 (netrin-1–HA) vectors, treated with DTT, and harvested. (I) Netrin-1 expression was assessed by immunoblotting. Representative result, n = 3. (J) XBP1 mRNA splicing was quantified by RT-PCR at the indicated time points. Representative result, n = 3. (K) UPR increases the sensitivity of cells toward netrin-1 for protection against cell death in time course assays. Graph indicates the difference in cell death (in percentages) between netrin-1–overexpressing cells and control cells (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05). (L) UPR increases the sensitivity of cells toward netrin-1 for caspase-3 activation in time course assays. Graph indicates the ratios of caspase-3 activation levels among netrin-1–overexpressing and control cells (mean + SEM; n = 3; Mann–Whitney test; P <.05).

Detection of Mouse Netrin-1 by Western Blot Netrin-1 reverts UPR-induced caspase-3 activation in netrin-1 transgenic mice. Netrin-1 (FLAG-tagged) transgenic mice or control littermates were treated with Tamoxifen (Tamox), injected with PBS, or 1 mg/kg Tu and killed 24 hours after treatment. (A) Evaluation of netrin-1 protein overexpression by anti-FLAG immunoblotting. (B) Evaluation of netrin-1 protein overexpression by immunohistochemistry. Representative result, n = 5 (wt/tamox/PBS), n = 6 (wt/tamox/Tu), n = 3 (netrin-1/tamox/PBS), n = 5 (netrin-1/tamox/Tu for the whole figure).
