doi: 10.1080/0886022X.2026.2646089
Figure Lengend Snippet: ADAMTS13 promoted NO production and alleviated oxidative stress by Nrf2/GPX4/eNOS signaling pathway in high glucose-induced HGECs. (A, E, and I) Representative images of DAF-FM DA, DHE, and MitoSOX staining were used to assess the production of NO, the cytoplasmic and the mitochondrial ROS generation in HGECs. Scale bar: 100 μm. (B, F, and J) The fluorescence intensity of DAF-FM DA. (C, G, and K) The fluorescence intensity of DHE. (D, H, and L) The fluorescence intensity of MitoSOX. HGECs: human glomerular endothelial cells. Results were presented as mean ± SEM. N = 5, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test.
Article Snippet: Equal amounts of protein were loaded on 8–12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (PVDF) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), and blocked with 5% skim milk powder for 2 h. Membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the following primary antibodies: Beclin-1 (A7353, ABclonal, Wuhan, China); LC3II/I (#4108, 14/16 kDa, CST, Danvers, MA); Nrf2 (ab31163, Abcam, Cambridge, UK); SOD1 (A12537, ABclonal, Wuhan, China); SOD2 (A21805, ABclonal, Wuhan, China); GPX4 (A1933, ABclonal, Wuhan, China); eNOS (#32027, CST, Danvers, MA); p-eNOS (Ser 1177) (AF5812, Beyotime, Shanghai, China); β-actin (AF5002, Beyotime, Shanghai, China); GAPDH (AC001, ABclonal, Wuhan, China); Histone H3 (A2348, ABclonal, Wuhan, China).
