Figure Lengend Snippet: Antioxidant effect of Zn on HUC-MSCs through Nrf2/Sirt3 signaling pathway. A The effect of Zn on the level of ROS production. DCFH-DA staining was used to measure intracellular ROS production. The scale bar indicates 100 μm. B Over time, under zinc treatment, the expression of Nrf2, Sirt3, and PGC-1α protein was measured by an illustrative Western blot. Four independent experiments were carried out and typical results were given. C, D Normalized the quantification of Nrf2 ( C ) and PGC-1α ( D ) to GAPDH and measured by image J. The results are expressed as mean ± S.D., * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001. E Real-time quantitative PCR results of Nrf2, Sirt3 and PGC-1α gene expression under Zn treatment ( n = 5). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01
Article Snippet: Mouse primary antibody against human GAPDH (Santa Cruz, sc-166574; 37kD; 1:2000), rabbit anti-human Nrf2 (Abcam, 100kD; 1:1000), rabbit anti-human Sirt3 (Abcam, 35kD; 1:1000) and rabbit anti-human PGC-1α (Abcam, 100kD; 1:1000) were used.
