(a) mRNA expression of TLR4, TIRAP and MyD88 was measured by qRT-PCR. *p < .05 compared with other concentrations of ox-LDL groups or control group as determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5). (b) *p < .05 compared with either time point or control groups determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5).

Article Snippet: Afterwards, the cells were subjected to a 2-h incubation at 37°C with either primary anti-TLR4 antibody (1:200 dilution; Cat No. BA1717; Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton, CA, USA) or anti-MyD88 antibody (1:400 dilution; Cat No. PB9148; Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton, CA, USA).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Effect of corilagin on the TLR4 signaling pathway in MOVAS cells stimulated by ox-LDL. (a) mRNA expression of TLR4, TIRAP, MyD88, TRAF6, p38, NEMO and IRF5 was measured by qRT-PCR. *p < .05 compared with the control group, #p < .05 compared with the ox-LDL group, **p < .05 compared with the aspirin group as determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5). (B. C) Protein abundance was measured by western blotting. *p < .05 compared with the control group, #p < .05 compared with the ox-LDL group, **p < .05 compared with the aspirin group, as determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5). (D, E) Abundance of IL-6 and MCP-1 in cell culture supernatant was measured by ELISAs. *p < .05 compared with the control group, #p < .05 compared with the ox-LDL group, **p < .05 compared with the aspirin group as determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5). (F) Effect of corilagin on the MOVAS cells proliferation. *p < .05 compared with the control group, #p < .05 compared with the ox-LDL group determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5). (G, H) apoptosis ratio of MOVAS were detected by Annexin V staining. No significant difference was found among four groups determined by one-way ANOVA and subsequent Student–Newman–Keuls q-test (n = 5).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Co-analysis of immunofluorescence of chondroitin sulfate (green; C , G , K ) and collagen type I (red; B , F , J ) in three different histological subtypes of non-small cell lung carcinoma (N=120). The stained nuclei are represented in blue (DAPI; A , E , I ). Images D , H , L represent the merge of the same field of these three stains. White arrows indicate positive expression of the markers. Original magnification: 40x. LCC, large cell carcinoma; ADC, lung adenocarcinoma; SqCC: lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Article Snippet: The specimens were incubated overnight at 4°C with antibodies against: E-cadherin (1:100; Boster Biological), β-catenin (1:100; Santa Cruz), heparan sulfate (1:500; Santa Cruz), chondroitin sulfate (1:100, Santa Cruz), anti-human collagen type I (1:700; Rockland Inc.), anti-human collagen type III (1:200; Rockland Inc.), anti-human collagen type IV (1:100; Dako), and anti-human collagen type V (1:1000; Rockland Inc.).

Figure Lengend Snippet: CPB induced mitochondrial dynamics disorder and increased inflammatory factor secretion. (a–f) Expression of IL-6, IL-1 β , and TNF- α in the serum at 0 and 4 hours after CPB. Compared to the CPB group, C23 administration decreased the expression of IL-6, IL-1 β , and TNF- α by 54.0%, 67.5%, and 45.2% at 4 hours, respectively. (g) Western blot analysis of renal Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved-caspase-3 expression. (h) CPB upregulated the NADPH oxidase via the TLR-4/MyD88 pathway, which promoted the expressions of mitochondrial fission-related proteins Fis1 and Drp1 and reduced the expression of fusion-related protein Mfn2. ∗ P < 0.05 vs. sham; # P < 0.05 vs. CPB.

Article Title: Change in Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dynamics in Response to Elevated Cold-Inducible RNA-Binding Protein in Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury

doi: 10.1155/2022/3576892

Figure Lengend Snippet: Putative mechanism of CIRP in cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury. During cardiac surgery, CIRP is secreted into the circulation in response to hypothermia and hemodynamics change. Extracellular CIRP promotes the expression of NADPH oxidase in renal tubular epithelial cells via the TLR-4/MyD88 pathway and aggravates intracellular oxidative stress. ROS accumulation induces mitochondrial dynamics disorder, which ultimately increases apoptosis and promotes AKI. CIR: cold-inducible RNA-binding protein; NADPH: nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate; ROS: reactive oxygen species.
