Figure Lengend Snippet: DY131 ameliorated oxidative stress in LPS-treated mice. (A,B) The levels of the antioxidant GSH and oxidative stress marker MDA in livers were measured using a commercial kit (n = 10 in each group). (C) mRNA expressions of SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3 were determined by qRT-PCR (n = 10 in each group). (D) Protein levels of SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3 were detected by Western blotting (n = 8 in each group). (E) Quantitative analyses of SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3 by densitometry (n = 8 in each group). (F) Representative images of DHE staining of liver tissues in different groups (magnification ×200, scale bar: 50 μm, n = 3 in each group). (G) Quantification of the mean fluorescence intensity of DHE was analyzed by ImageJ software. Data were presented as means ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001 vs. the indicated group. NS, no significance.
Article Snippet: Immunoblotting was performed using primary antibodies against ERRγ (Santa Cruz, sc-66883, 1:1,000), β-actin (Bioss, bs-0061R, 1:2,500), SOD1 (Proteintech, 67480-1-Ig, 1:5,000), SOD2 (Abclonal, A19576, 1:1,000), SOD3 (Abclonal, A6984, 1:1,000), cleaved caspase-3 (Cell Signaling Technology, 9,661, 1:1,000), and Bax (Cell Signaling Technology, 2,772, 1:1,000), followed by the incubation of peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Beyotime, A0208, 1:2,000).
