Red Yeast Rice Protects Circulating Bone Marrow-Derived Proangiogenic Cells against High-Glucose-Induced Senescence and Oxidative Stress: The Role of Heme Oxygenase-1

Figure 6

CoPPIX (10 μM), ZnPPIX (10 μM), and HO-1 siRNA modulate the inhibitory effect of RYR extract on high-glucose-caused (a) senescence and (b) oxidative stress in PACs. Oxidative stimulator H2O2 (50 μM) was used to confirm the antioxidative effect of RYR extract. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments. compared to that of the control group; compared to that of the H2O2 or high-glucose-treated group; compared to that of the RYR extract and high-glucose-treated group.
