The Role of Oxymatrine in Amelioration of Acute Lung Injury Subjected to Myocardial I/R by Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Diabetic Rats

Figure 6

OMT inhibits acute lung injury-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated signaling pathway activation in diabetic rats. (a) Protein expression levels of p-PERK, PERK, p-IRE1α, and IRE1α were determined using Western blot analysis. (b), (c), and (d) Quantification of Western blot results. Values are expressed as the mean ± SD from three independent experiments, n = 3. and vs. the Sham group; vs. the I/R group; , vs. the DM + I/R group. OMT, oxymatrine; PERK, translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3; IRE1, inositol dependent enzyme 1; p-, phosphorylated; I/R, ischemia/reperfusion; DM, diabetes mellitus.
