Sirt1 Protects Endothelial Cells against LPS-Induced Barrier Dysfunction

Figure 6

Effect of Sirt1 on the alteration of MDA, as well as on ROS generation in HUVECs. (a) SRT1720 abolished LPS-induced ROS generation. (b) SRT1720 attenuated LPS-induced MDA elevation. (c) H2O2 abolished the protective effect of SRT1720 on EC permeability. HUVECs were pretreated with or without SRT1720, then exposed to the control medium or LPS. Cells in the group SRT1720 + LPS + H2O2 were followed by 100 mM H2O2 treatment for 15 min. versus control or control siRNA, # versus LPS or control siRNA + LPS, and versus SRT1720 + LPS.
