( E ) Representative JC-1 staining photographs in control macrophages, HG- and PA-induced macrophages, and HG- and PA-induced macrophages with CMA treatment. Green fluorescence represents that MMP is low and JC-1 exists in the cytoplasm in the form of monomer. Red fluorescence represents that MMP is high and JC-1 polymer is formed. Scale bars, 50 μm. ( F ) Calculation of a ratio of green fluorescence and red fluorescence for quantifying MMP changes. ( G ) Detection of ATP in control macrophages, HG- and PA-induced macrophages, and HG- and PA-induced macrophages with CMA treatment. ( H ) TEM for investigating the changes in mitochondrial morphology in control macrophages, HG- and PA-induced macrophages, and HG- and PA-induced macrophages with CMA treatment. Scale bars, 500 nm. *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001; ****, P<0.0001 derived from one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
