Article Title: Knocking-down annexin A3 suppresses inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum stress to attenuate sepsis-induced acute kidney injury in HK2 cells
doi: 10.25259/Cytojournal_64_2024
Figure Lengend Snippet: Knockdown of annexin A3 attenuates oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stresses in lipopolysaccharide-induced human kidney 2 (HK2) cells. (a) glutathione, (b) superoxide dismutase, (c) malondialdehyde, and (d) reactive oxygen species levels in HK2 cells were quantified through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by using the corresponding commercial assay kits. (e and f) The protein levels of C/EBP homologous protein, glucose-regulated protein 78, inositol-requiring enzyme 1α, and activating transcription factor 6 in HK2 cells were measured through Western blot analysis. ✶ P < 0.05, ✶ ✶ P < 0.01, ✶ ✶ ✶ P < 0.001. All in vitro experiments were conducted in triplicate with at least three independent experiments. GSH: Glutathione, ANXA3: Annexin A3, NC: Negative control, siRNA: Small interfering RNA, LPS: Lipopolysaccharide, SOD: Superoxide dismutase, MDA: Malondialdehyde, ROS: Reactive oxygen species, CHOP: C/EBP homologous protein, GRP78: glucose-regulated protein 78, IRE1α: inositol requiring enzyme 1α, ATF6: activating transcription factor 6, GAPDH: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
