Figure 5. Ginsenoside Rb3 suppresses the expression of inflammation-related factors induced by OGD-Rep in H9c2 cells.

Figure 5

H9c2 cells were treated with ginsenoside Rb3 at different concentration (5 µM or 2 µM) followed by OGD-Rep. The total RNA was isolated and subjected to real time PCR to analyze the products of pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1, as well as MMP-9 and MMP-2. Beta-actin was used as an internal control. All data were shown as the mean ± SD. #P<0.05 vs. group without OGD-Rep. *P<0.05 vs. group treated with OGD-Rep alone. n = 4–6.
