[Retracted] Long Noncoding RNA ZFAS1 Protects HK-2 Cells against Sepsis‐Induced Injury through Targeting the miR3723p/PPARα Axis

Figure 1

LPS treatment induces cell injury and inhibits the expression of ZFAS1 in HK-2 cells. (a) The viability of HK-2 cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. (b) (c) (d) The contents of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in the cell supernatant were detected using ELISA kits. (e) Western blot analysis showed the expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in HK-2 cells. (f) The apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells was detected by TUNEL staining (green). Scale bar, 1 μm. (g) The expression of lncRNA ZFAS1 was detected by qRT-PCR analysis. “” vs. control and “” vs. control, n = 3.
