Downregulation of SIRT3 Aggravates Lung Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Increasing Mitochondrial Fission and Oxidative Stress through HIF-1α-Dependent Mechanisms

Figure 1

Expression of SIRT3 increased after lung I/R in vivo. Mice were treated with 3-TYP (50 mg/kg, i.p.) every 2 days for three times before surgery. (a) SIRT3 protein levels were detected by western blotting. (b) Protein expression of SIRT3 relative to β-actin. (c) Levels of SIRT3 mRNA. (d) Immunofluorescence micrographs of SIRT3 (red) and F4/80 (green) from mice of the different treatment groups. DAPI was used to stain nuclei. Scale bar: 200 μm. The data are expressed as ( for all panels), *.
