Novel Application of Eupatilin for Effectively Attenuating Cisplatin-Induced Auditory Hair Cell Death via Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway

Figure 7

Effect of eupatilin on the cisplatin-induced apoptosis of cochlear hair cells. (a) Experimental design for (b) immunofluorescence staining with myosin VII (red) and DAPI (blue) in apical, middle, and basal turns of the cochlear from control, cisplatin-only, and cisplatin plus eupatilin groups. Scale bar equals 20 μm. (c) Hair cells positive for myosin VII fluorescence were counted every 200 μm along the apical, middle, and basal regions of cochlear explants from different groups. The data are presented as the . and vs. the nontreated control group; ##, ###, and #### vs. the group treated with the cisplatin group.
