Structure of DFO, LAP, and DHLAP and experimental design. (a) Structure of DFO. (b) Structure of LAP and DHLAP. (c) Experiment 1 was designed to determine the involvement of cathepsin B/D under CAII conditions. (d) Experiment 2 was designed to explore the mechanisms of LAP in alleviating endothelial injury induced by CAII. (e) Experiment 3 was designed to explore the role and mechanisms of LAP in alleviating HUVEC injury induced by OxyHb in vitro.
