Recombinant Klotho Protects Human Periodontal Ligament Stem Cells by Regulating Mitochondrial Function and the Antioxidant System during H2O2-Induced Oxidative Stress

Figure 2

Klotho attenuated H2O2-induced intracellular oxidative stress status. SOD activity, MDA formation, and ROS production were assessed. (a, b) The level of ROS in hPDLSCs was measured by DCFH-DA through a fluorescence microscope (a) and flow cytometry (b); (c) the MDA level and (d) SOD level in hPDLSCs. Scale bars: 50 μm. Magnification: 200x. , , and versus control group.
