UQCRC1 overexpression protected H9c2 cardiac cells from OGD/R and injury. (a) UQCRC1 expression in H9c2 cardiac cells after transfection with Ad-GFP or Ad-UQCRC1 (). (b) The effect of UQCRC1 overexpression on the viability of H9C2 cardiac cells after OGD/R injury (). ((c) and (d)) The effect of UQCRC1 overexpression on the apoptosis rate of H9C2 cardiac cells after H₂O₂ injury (). Data are expressed as the means ± SEM; versus first group and versus the first group.
