Figure Lengend Snippet: Molecular and cellular responses to CDs based AKI response. a) Schematic representation of the cellular pathway involving KEAP1, NRF2, and downstream targets (HO‐1, GPX4) in response to AKI. b) Western blot analysis showing protein expression levels of KEAP1, NRF2, GPX4, HO‐1, and NF‐κB across experimental conditions (I: H 2 O 2 ; II: H 2 O 2 + N‐CDs; III: H 2 O 2 + Ag SA ‐CDs; IV: H 2 O 2 + T‐Ag SA ‐CDs and V: PBS) against β‐actin as a loading control. c) Ex vivo fluorescence imaging of N‐CDs, Ag SA ‐CDs, and T‐Ag SA ‐CDs at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h, indicating time‐dependent changes in uptake and fluorescence intensity. d) Ex vivo biodistribution data of CDs in brain, heart, lung, spleen, liver, and kidney at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h, visualized through fluorescence imaging with a color scale representing signal intensity. e) Quantitative analysis of T‐Ag SA ‐CDs accumulation (% ID/g) in major organs (kidney, liver, lung, heart, brain, and spleen) time points of post‐injection ( n = 3 biologically independent mice). The i.v. dosage: 200 µL. Error bars represent standard deviations ( n = 3).
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies against NRF2 (80593‐1‐RR), KEAP1 (80744‐1‐RR), HO‐1 (81281‐1‐RR), GPX4 (82822‐2‐RR), β‐actin (81115‐1‐RR), and NF‐κB (80979‐1‐RR), and HRP‐conjugated goat anti‐rabbit IgG secondary antibody (SA00001‐2), were obtained from Proteintech Group, Inc. Chemiluminescent detection was performed using the SuperKine West Pico PLUS substrate (BMU101‐CN, Abbkine Scientific Co., Ltd.).
