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

Figure 5

Attenuation of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury by dexmedetomidine (Dex) postconditioning was enhanced by downregulation of cIAP1. (a) Western blotting was used to detect expression of cIAP1 after H/R and Dex postconditioning (, ; vs. the H/R group). (b) Forty-eight hours after sicIAP1 or its control was transfected into senescent cardiomyocytes, cIAP1 expression levels were examined by western blot in cells exposed to 6 h hypoxia followed by 6 h Dex postconditioning or reoxygenation. (c, d) Effect of Dex in senescent cardiomyocytes subjected to H/R or altered expression of cIAP1. (c) Cell viability was evaluated using a CCK-8 assay. (d) Bcl-2 and Bax expression was evaluated by western blotting. , .
