Cytoprotective Roles of a Novel Compound, MHY-1684, against Hyperglycemia-Induced Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Cardiac Progenitor Cells

Figure 4

MHY-1684 attenuates mitochondrial fission via regulating fission/fusion-related proteins. (a) Confocal image of hCPCs stained with MitoTracker Red CMXRos after cotreatment with 1 μM MHY-1684 and 25 mM D-(+) glucose for 72 h. (b) Mitochondrial length was analyzed when hCPCs were incubated with 1 μM MHY-1684 after being exposed to 25 mM D-(+) glucose. Results are presented as means ± SD. versus 25 mM D-(+) glucose. (c) Expression of the mitochondrial fragmentation-related marker Fis1, Drp1, OPA1, and Mfn1 when incubated with 1 μM MHY-1684 after being exposed to 25 mM D-(+) glucose.
