3,5,4′-tri-O-acetylresveratrol Ameliorates Seawater Exposure-Induced Lung Injury by Upregulating Connexin 43 Expression in Lung

Figure 6

Effects of 3,5,4′-tri-O-acetylresveratrol on Cx43 in seawater stimulated lungs. (A) Control group; (B) seawater drowning group; (C), (D), and (E) different doses of 3,5,4′-tri-O-acetylresveratrol groups. After protein quantitation, western blot was performed to investigate the Cx43 content at 4 h after seawater administration. Ratios of Cx43 protein versus β-actin in three independent experiments were obtained by density scanning using an image analysis system. *𝑃<0.01 versus control group; *𝑃<0.01 versus **𝑃; **𝑃<0.01 versus ***𝑃.
