Effect of iron chelators on hemin toxicity. Wild-type cultures were treated with 3 μM hemin for 14 h, alone or with indicated concentrations of deferoxamine (DFO) or phenanthroline (PHE). Injury was assessed by A) LDH activity in the culture medium, which is scaled to that in sister cultures treated with 300 μM NMDA for 40 h (= 100), which releases essentially all neuronal LDH; B) fluorescence intensity of cultures stained with propidium iodide, again scaled to that in sister cultures treated with NMDA. ***P < 0.001 v. cultures treated with hemin only, Bonferroni multiple comparisons test.
