SLC31A1 silencing hampers cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the NLRP3/HMGB1-dependent macrophage cuproptosis pathway. (A) H9C2 cell viability assessed by CCK-8; (B) H9C2 cell apoptosis analyzed by flow cytometry; (C) Cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2 and Bax protein levels in H9C2 cells determined by western blot. All cell-based in vitro experiments were independently repeated three times. Data were described as mean ± standard deviation, with multi-group comparisons conducted by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s post hoc tests. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
