Selenium Attenuates TBHP-Induced Apoptosis of Nucleus Pulposus Cells by Suppressing Mitochondrial Fission through Activating Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2
Figure 5
Se activated the Nrf2 signaling pathway in TBHP-exposed NPCs. (a, b) Representative western blot bands and quantitation of the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in NPCs. (c) Nucleus translocation and expression level of Nrf2 in NPCs (scale bar: 50 μm). (d, e) Representative western blot bands and quantitation of the expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, and SOD2 in NPCs treated with ML385 and Se. (f) Nuclear translocation and expression level of Nrf2 in NPCs treated with or without ML385 (scale bar: 50 μm). The data are represented as the from at least 3 independent experiments. and vs. the TBHP group, and .
