Propofol Alleviates Apoptosis Induced by Chronic High Glucose Exposure via Regulation of HIF-1α in H9c2 Cells

Figure 3

Propofol inhibited cell apoptosis induced by high glucose in H9c2 cells. Quantification of the apoptotic cell population by flow cytometry. Propofol decreased the percentage of apoptotic cells compared with the model. The results were shown as from five independent experiments. , , and versus control; #, ##, and ### versus the high glucose-treated group without drugs. Ctrl = blank control group; 0 = high glucose model group; P5 = 5 μM propofol pretreatment group; P10 = 10 μM propofol pretreatment group; P20 = 20 μM propofol pretreatment group; and HG = 22 mM high glucose culture.
