Salvianolic Acid B Attenuates Iopromide-Induced Renal Tubular Epithelial Cell Injury by Inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Figure 2

Effect of Sal B on iopromide-induced ROS generation and loss of ΔΨm. (a) Compared with the iopromide-treated group, Sal B lowered the decrease in ROS generation. (b, c) Similar results were obtained by flow cytometry n = 3. Data are the mean ± SD. vs. control group; ## vs. iopromide group. (d) ΔΨm levels in iopromide-treated cells were lower than those in the control cells. However, Sal B increased the ΔΨm level, indicating that it had a protective effect on iopromide-induced acute kidney injury. (e, f) Similar results were obtained using flow cytometry. n = 3. Data are the mean ± SD. vs. control group; #, ## vs. iopromide group.
