Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of Nrf2 inhibitor on the cell survival and apoptosis in HK2 cells treated with LPS. ( A ) Cell viability (Treated with 40 µM UDCA, 5 µg/mL LPS, and 10 µM ML385). ( B ) The apoptosis rate (40 µM UDCA, 5 µg/mL LPS, and 10 µM ML385). ( C ). Representative images of cell apoptosis detected using a flow cytometer. Data were represented as mean ± S.E.M. ### p < 0.001 v.s . Control group; ** p < 0.01, and *** p < 0.001 v.s . LPS-vehicle group. n = 6 for A; n = 3 for B-C
Article Snippet: ML385 (99.96%, No. HY-100523), a selective Nrf2 inhibitor, was obtained from MCE (Shanghai, China).
