Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Immunostaining of PARP-1 in vivo . ( B ) Western blots of PARP-1 in vivo . ( C ) Western blots of PARP-1 in cells exposed to hypoxia for different time. ( D–G ) Western blots showing the effect of miR-7a/b on regulation of PARP-1 ( D , E ), cleaved caspase-3 ( D,F ), Bax/Bcl-2 ( D , G ). ( H,I ) TUNEL assay results (Scale bar: 50 μm). Con: sham mice without LAD occlusion ( A,B ) or normal cultured H9c2 cells ( C–H ). MI: mice with LAD occlusion. NC: H9c2 cells exposed to hypoxia for 12 h. Data are the mean ± SD, n = 6/group ( A ), n = 3/group ( B–I ), *p < 0.05 compared with Con; # p < 0.05 compared with GFP-NC ( A,B ) or NC ( C–I ).
Article Snippet: The cells were treated with or without PARP-1 inhibitor 3-AB (3 mM) (Sigma) or the Sp1 inhibitor mithramycin (Cayman Chemical) before being placed in the Whitley H35 Hypoxystation (Don Whitley Scientific) for hypoxia (1% O 2 , 5% CO 2 ) treatment.
