Microcystins Induces Vascular Inflammation in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells via Activation of NF-B

Figure 5

The MC-LR induced ROS expression on HUVECs was detected by DCFH-DA probe assay (a). The mitochondrial ROS in the control and MC-LR treated groups were measured by the DCFH-DA probe (b). The mean change of mitochondrial ROS (c) and total ROS (d) in MC-LR exposure HUVECs treated with DPI or Mito-Tempo. Representative microphotographs are shown. versus control ( independent experiments).
