[Retracted] Oxidative-Damaged Mitochondria Activate GABARAPL1-Induced NLRP3 Inflammasomes in an Autophagic-Exosome Manner after Acute Myocardial Ischemia
Figure 5
The detection of mitochondrial morphology, oxidative stress, autophagy flux, and exosome release in CMECs after AMI. (a) Mitochondrial morphology () and ROS production () in normal and hypoxia-CMECs. The length and aspect ratio of mitochondria were analyzed using the ImageJ software. The fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA reflects the ROS production and oxidative stress. (b) Immunofluorescence images showing autophagy flux labeled by mCherry-GFP-LC3B in CMECs (). (c) Transmission electron microscopic images show more exosomes being released after hypoxia treatment (). (d) Western blot analysis shows the effects of hypoxia on the expression of CD63, TSG101, and GEC1. (a) compared with the normal group, (b) compared with the hypoxia group.
