Pretreatment with Panaxatriol Saponin Attenuates Mitochondrial Apoptosis and Oxidative Stress to Facilitate Treatment of Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury via the Regulation of Keap1/Nrf2 Activity
Figure 5
PTS attenuates H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis depending on the regulation of Nrf2 activity. ML385, a direct activator of the Keap1 and Nrf2 interaction, was used to cotreat H9c2 with vehicle or PTS. (a) Western blotting results showed the changes in apoptosis-related proteins in H9c2 cells after Nrf-2 blockade. (b–e) The levels of cleaved caspase-3, cleaved PRAR-1, Bax, and Cyt-c were quantified using ImageJ. Data are expressed as the (). , ; ns: not significant.
