Dopamine D2 Receptor Signaling Attenuates Acinar Cell Necroptosis in Acute Pancreatitis through the Cathepsin B/TFAM/ROS Pathway

Figure 3

Inhibition of CTSB with CA-074Me reduced acinar cell necroptosis in vitro. Isolated PACs were pretreated with CA-074Me (10 μM) for 0.5 h and then stimulated with 200 nM CCK for 6 h. Cell injury assessed by (a) the percentage of ATP depletion (=6 per group), (b) LDH leakage (=4 per group), and (c) Hoechst/PI staining (=4 per group, scale bar 200 μm). (d) Quantification of PI-positive cell (=4 per group). (e, f) Immunoblot analysis and quantification of RIP3, p-MLKL, and MLKL proteins of CCK-stimulated PACs with or without CA-074Me (10 μM). =4 per group. , , and .
