NaHS Alleviated Cell Apoptosis and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Remote Lung Tissue after Renal Ischemia and Reperfusion via Nrf2 Activation-Mediated NLRP3 Pathway Inhibition

Figure 4

The effect of sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (NaHS) on NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein and mRNA expression in the lung tissue after renal ischemia reperfusion (RIR). The expression levels of Nrf2 were measured by western blot (a). The quantification of Nrf2 (b) is shown as a bar graph. The quantification of Nrf2 mRNA expression (c) is shown as a bar graph, which was measured by RT-PCR assay. The Nrf2-positive cells were stained by immunochemical staining (d). The percentage of Nrf2-positive cells is shown as a bar graph (e). Values are presented as the . vs. Con; ^# vs. RIR; .
