Study on Protection of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells from Amiodarone-Induced Damage by Intermedin through Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway

Figure 5

Effects of IWR on the protective effect of IMD on amiodarone-induced inflammation and oxidative stress injury to HUVECs. HUVECs were pretreated with IMD (20 ng/mL) and IWR (10 μmol/L) for 2 h and exposed to amiodarone (30 μmol/L) for 24 h. (a) Detection of expression of inflammation-related genes by RT-PCR experiment. (b, c) The kit detected the production of ROS, the release of LDH, and the vitality of SOD, GSH-Px, CAT. (d) Detection of expression of antioxidant genes by RT-PCR experiment. Data was presented as the (; and vs. control).
