Impact of Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation on Ferroptosis in Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rats

Figure 4

(a, b) Representative western blots and quantitative evaluation of 4HNE, GPX4, and SOD2 expression in kidney tissue from rats in the sham group, IRI group, IRI+MV-4 h group, and IRI+MV-12 h group. The results are presented as . Sham group: sham operation; IRI group: subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemia; IRI+MV-4 h group: subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemia and underwent 4-hour MV; IRI+MV-12 h group: subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemia and underwent 12-hour MV. 4HNE: 4-Hydroxynonenal; GPX4: glutathione peroxidase 4; SOD2: superoxide dismutase 2; IRI: ischemia-reperfusion injury; MV: mechanical ventilation. , vs. sham; , vs. IRI; #, vs. IRI+MV-4 h.
