Pterostilbene Attenuates Fructose-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis by Inhibiting ROS-Driven Pitx2c/miR-15b Pathway
Figure 2
Pterostilbene and allopurinol reduce cellular fibrotic response-associated indicators ANP, α-SMA, FSP-1, TGF-β1, and CTGF expressions in fructose-exposed H9c2 cells. H9c2 cells in different groups stained with ANP ((a), red, scale bar 50 μm), α-SMA (green) and FSP-1 (red) ((b), scale bar 50 μm), TGF-β1 ((c), red, scale bar 50 μm), and CTGF ((d), red, scale bar 75 μm) by immunofluorescence analysis, respectively. DAPI was used for staining nuclei, and merged views were shown in the right panels.
