Continuous Infusion of Angiotensin IV Protects against Acute Myocardial Infarction via the Inhibition of Inflammation and Autophagy

Figure 6

Ang IV reduced hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage as well as inflammatory cytokine secretion in NRVCs. (a, b) DHE staining showed that pretreatment of Ang IV reduced oxidative stress. (c, d) Comet assay showed that Ang IV reduced hypoxia-induced DNA damage. (e, f) ELISA showed that Ang IV reduced hypoxia-induced TNF-ɑ and IL-1β secretion in supernatant. Ang: angiotensin; TNF-ɑ: tumor necrosis factor ɑ; IL-1β: interleukin 1β; NRVCs: the neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. vs. the control group; # vs. the hypoxia group.
