4-HNE-induced activation of Bax, p21, JNK, and p-JNK in RPE and ARPE-19 cells: The expression of Bax (a) p21 (b) p-JNK (c), and JNK (d) in RPE and ARPE-19 cells exposed to different concentrations of 4-HNE. RPE and ARPE-19 cells were treated with 4-HNE (0-50 lM) for 2 h in serum-free medium. Cell extracts (50 μg protein) were resolved on 4-20% SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted. The blots were probed with anti-Bax, anti-p21, anti-JNK, and anti-p-JNK antibodies, respectively. GAPDH (e) was used as the loading control. Blots were developed with West Pico-chemi luminescence reagent (Pierce).
