Activation of Delta-Opioid Receptor Protects ARPE19 Cells against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation/Reoxygenation-Induced Necroptosis and Apoptosis by Inhibiting the Release of TNF-α

Figure 1

Different durations of oxygen and glucose deprivation have diverse effects on ARPE19 cell viability and morphology. (a) Cell viability was determined by a cell counting kit-8 assay. The results are expressed as proportions of surviving cells compared with the control (n = 5 per group). (b) Morphological changes in ARPE19 cells were observed by inverted microscopy. White arrows indicate severely shrunken and round cells (n = 3 per group). Data are presented as means ± SEM, and group differences were analyzed by Student’s t-tests. #, ### vs. Control. Scale bar = 50 μm.
