Tanshinone IIA Pretreatment Protects H9c2 Cells against Anoxia/Reoxygenation Injury: Involvement of the Translocation of Bcl-2 to Mitochondria Mediated by 14-3-3η

Figure 8

Inhibiting mitochondrial translocation of Bcl-2 by silencing 14-3-3η expression abolished the protective effect of Tanshinone IIA (TSN) pretreatment on apoptosis in H9c2 cells subjected to anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury. (a) Representative flow cytometric dot plots (x-axis: Annexin V staining and y-axis: PI staining). (b) The apoptotic cell population was quantified and presented as a column bar graph. Values are presented as the from five individual experiments. (A) versus control group; (B) versus A/R group; (C) versus TSN + A/R group; (D) versus AD14-3-3ηRNAi group.
