[Retracted] Oxidized LDL Disrupts Metabolism and Inhibits Macrophage Survival by Activating a miR-9/Drp1/Mitochondrial Fission Signaling Pathway
Figure 3
Inhibition of Drp1-related mitochondrial fission improves cholesterol metabolism in macrophages. (a, b) A qPCR assay was used to measure levels of CD36 and LOX-1 after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. (c, d) ABCA1 and ABCG1 transcription was measured through qPCR after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. (e–g) Macrophage LOX-1 and ABCA1 levels were measured through immunofluorescence after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. .
