Figure Lengend Snippet: PANoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in R28 retinal cells after OGD/R. (A) PI staining of R28 retinal cells subjected to OGD/R. A large number of PI-positive cells were observed in the OGD/R group. Scale bars: 40 μm. (B) Statistical analysis of PI-positive cells. (C) TUNEL staining of R28 retinal cells after OGD/R. There were very few TUNEL-positive cells in the CTL group, while a large number of TUNEL-positive cells were observed in the OGD/R group. Scale bars: 40 μm. (D) Statistical analysis of TUNEL-positive cells. (E) LDH release assay of R28 retinal cells subjected to OGD/R. (F) DCFH-DA probe detection of changes in intracellular ROS concentrations. There were very few cells exhibiting DCFH-DA fluorescence in the CTL group, whereas a large number of cells exhibiting DCFH-DA fluorescence were detected in the OGD/R group. Scale bars: 40 μm. (G) Statistical analysis of DCFH-DA fluorescence intensity. (H) Mito-tracker labeling showing mitochondrial morphology changes in R28 retinal cells subjected to OGD/R. The mitochondria in the CTL group mostly appeared as short rods, whereas in the OGD/R group, there were numerous mitochondrial fragments. Scale bars: 10 μm. (I) Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by flow cytometry after JC-1 staining. (J) JC-1 assay of mitochondrial membrane potential after OGD/R treatment. Consistent with the flow cytometry results, we observed an increase in the number of green fluorescent cells in the OGD/R group compared to the CTL group. Scale bars: 80 μm. (K) Statistical analysis of JC-1 fluorescence intensity. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. All cell experiments included at least three independent replicates. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001 (two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test). CTL: Control; DAPI: 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; DCFH-DA: 2ʹ,7ʹ-dichlorofluorescin diacetate; LDH: lactate dehydrogenase; OGD/R: oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion; PI: propidium iodide; TUNEL: terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling.
Article Snippet: A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) cytotoxicity assay kit (Beyotime, Cat# C0016) was used to measure LDH release.
