Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Supplement Attenuates Isoproterenol-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy in a Sirtuin 3-Dependent Manner

Figure 8

Effect of NaHS on MAPK expression and phosphorylation in WT mice and SIRT3 KO mice after ISO administration. Male 129S1/SvImJ (WT) and SIRT3 knockout (KO) mice at 10 weeks of age were administrated with NaHS (50 μmol/kg/d) or normal saline (NS) once daily. After 2 weeks, the mice were given isoproterenol (ISO, 60 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection followed by NaHS or NS administration once daily for another 2 weeks. (a–c) MAPK expression and phosphorylation in the myocardium of mice were measured by western blot. GAPDH was serviced as a loading control. Plots represent the mean ± SEM; . Statistical significance: compared with WT + NS; compared with WT + ISO; compared with SIRT3 KO + NS.
