Hydrogen Sulfide Ameliorates Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Hepatitis by Inhibiting Apoptosis and Autophagy Pathways
Figure 3
NaHS pretreatment inhibits the release of cytokines during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. (a) The mRNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in liver tissues was detected by real time PCR. for saline versus saline + I/R, for saline + I/R versus I/R + NaHS (14 μmol/kg). (b) Western blots and quantitative evaluation of the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in liver tissues with -actin as protein loading control. for saline versus saline + I/R, for saline + I/R versus I/R + NaHS (14 μmol/kg). (c) Immunohistochemistry staining (200x) showed the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in liver tissue at 12 h. for () versus (I/R + NaHS).
