Dexmedetomidine Postconditioning Alleviates Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury in Senescent Myocardial Cells by Regulating lncRNA H19 and m6A Modification

Figure 3

Dexmedetomidine (Dex) postconditioning alleviated hypoxia/reoxygenation injury by upregulating H19. (a) H19 expression after exposure to different concentrations of Dex and hypoxia postconditioning was detected by RT-PCR (, ; vs. the H/R group). (b) After 24 h, normal DMEM culture was replaced with 150 μM H2O2 for 4 h, and H9c2 cells were transfected with siH19 or a negative control (NC) siRNA. After hypoxia for 6 h, 1 μM Dex was added during reoxygenation for 6 h. Expression of H19 was detected by RT-PCR. (c) Cell viability was evaluated using a CCK-8 assay. (d) Ratios of Bcl-2/Bax protein expression were measured by western blotting. , ; , #, ##.
