Figure 7. H2S-induced activation of AMPK decreased the expression of galectin-3 and periostin in hyperglycemia.

Figure 7

(A) Expression of matricellular proteins, galectin-3 and periostin, were measured by Western blot. Cells in NG/HG condition were treated without or with H2S and AMPK activator, Phenformin in DMSO. Phenformin reduced the expression of galectin-3 and periostin in HG condition. Cells treated with DMSO alone did not differ from NG condition. GAPDH was used as loading control. (B). Band intensities were quantified by ImageJ and presented as fold change (mean ± s.e.m., n = 5).
