Polydatin Attenuates OGD/R-Induced Neuronal Injury and Spinal Cord Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by Protecting Mitochondrial Function via Nrf2/ARE Signaling Pathway

Figure 5

PD exerts its antiapoptotic effects by activating the Nrf2/ARE pathway. (a) Immunoblot showing levels of Keap1, Nrf2, NQO-1, and HO-1 protein in the neurons of different groups. vs. Control; # vs. OGD; Δ vs. OGD + PD (15 μM). Then, cells were divided into the Control, OGD/R, OGD/R + PD, and OGD/R + PD + Brusatol groups. (b) Percentage of apoptotic cells as detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI assay. (c) Percentage of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells. (d) Immunoblot showing Bcl-2, Bax, and c-Caspase-3 protein levels in each group. vs. Control; # vs. OGD; Δ vs. OGD + PD.
