Figure Lengend Snippet: AVLE inhibits ferroptosis in HGHF-induced H9c2 cells. Contents of ( A ) Fe 2+ in H9C2 cells. ( B1 ) Representative images and ( B ) fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA. ( C1 ) Representative images and ( C ) JC-1 fluorescence ratio reflecting MMP. ( D1 ) The images and ( D ) fluorescence intensity of FerroOrange (scale bar = 100 μm); ( E ) representative blot images and the expression levels of GPX4 ( E1 ), FTH-1 ( E2 ), SLC7A11 ( E3 ), TfR1 ( E4 ) and ACSL4 ( E5 ) in H9c2 cells. Data are reported as mean ± SEM (n = 3, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001 vs. CON; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 vs. HGHF).
Article Snippet: Superoxide production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and ferrous ion (Fe 2+ ) levels were detected using the DCFH-DA (E-BC-K138-F, Elabscience, Wuhan, China), JC-1 (C2006, Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and FerroOrange (F374, Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan) fluorescent probes, respectively.
