Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 5. C5b-9 induced HK-2 cells ferroptosis. Complement C5b6 and normal human serum, the source of complement C7, C8 and C9, were used to assemble C5b-9 on the cytomembrane of HK-2 cells. (A) Cell viability of HK-2 cells after 24 hr C5b-9 assembly. (B) ACSL4, COX2 and GPX4 of HK-2 cells were detected using immunoblotting. (C-E) Acsl4, Ptgs2 and Gpx4 mRNAs level of HK-2 cells were measured using RT-PCR. (F) GSH level of HK-2 cells. (G) MDA level of HK-2 cells. (H) Lipid ROS was detected by BODIPY™ 581/591 C11. The green fluorescence represents oxidized lipid and the red fluorescence represents non-oxidized lipid. The scale bar represents 50 µm. (I) Fe2+ was detected by FerroOrange dye. The scale bar represents 50 µm. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. (n = 4–6 per group). * P < 0.05.
