Naoxintong/PPAR Signaling Inhibits Cardiac Hypertrophy via Activation of Autophagy

Figure 6

NXT/PPARγ signaling inhibits cardiac hypertrophy. (a) H9c2 cells were treated with or without 0.5 μg/mL NXT for 6 h. Cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 555 phalloidin. Immunostained cells were imaged on a fluorescence microscope. Cell surface area was quantified. (b) H9c2 cells were transfected with control shRNA or PPARγ shRNA plasmids. After 24 h, cells were treated with or without 0.5 μg/mL NXT for 6 h. Cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 555 phalloidin. Immunostained cells were imaged on a fluorescence microscope. Cell surface area was quantified.
