Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of SESN2 on neuronal survival and oxidative stress markers in an in vitro SAH model. (A) Immunofluorescence images showing ROS production detected by DCFH‐DA staining (green) with DAPI nuclear staining (blue) and merged views across experimental groups. Scale bars = 20 μm. (B) Corresponding quantification of ROS levels in each experimental group, n = 3 per group. (C) Cell viability of HT22 cells assessed by CCK‐8 assay, n = 6 per group. (D, E) Quantitative analyses of SOD activity and MDA content, n = 6 per group. (F) Western blot analysis and quantitative analysis of SESN2 (G), GPX4 (H), SLC7A11 (I) and Nrf2 (K), n = 6 per group. (J, L) Western blot analysis and quantification of nuclear Nrf2, n = 6 per group. Data indicated as mean ± SD. ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. Sham group, ** p < 0.01 vs. Hemin group.
Article Snippet: For intracellular ROS detection, HT22 cells were incubated with DCFH‐DA (10 μM, MCE) at 37°C for 30 min. Fluorescent signals were detected using excitation at 488 nm and emission was measured at 525 nm wavelength with data presented as relative fluorescence units per mg protein, normalized to sham controls.
