Effects of MgH2 on inflammatory response and cell apoptosis in AEC damage following LPS exposure. (a) and (b). The effects of MgH2 on inflammatory cytokine levels in LPS-stimulated A549 cells. (c) The effects of MgH2 on critical apoptosis-related proteins Bax, Bcl-2, and cytochrome c expressions in LPS-stimulated A549 cells. (d) MgH2 alleviated damage to the barrier-related proteins occludin and ZO-1 in LPS-stimulated A549 cells. Data are presented as mean ± SD. vs. CON group, vs. LPS group.
