ox-LDL triggers oxidative stress in macrophages through Drp1-related mitochondrial fission. (a, b) Cellular ROS were measured in an immunofluorescence assay using a DCFHDA probe after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. (c, d) Mitochondrial ROS were measured in an immunofluorescence assay using a MitoSOX probe after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. (e–g) Activity of the antioxidative factors GSH, GPX, and SOD was measured through ELISA after ox-LDL and siRNA/Drp1 treatments. .
