Figure 7.
Effect of SelR gene knockdown on d-galactose-induced cytochrome c release. (a) Purity of cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions; (b) ELISA quantization of cytochrome c protein in cytosolic and mitochondrial fractions. The data are expressed as the ratio of cytosolic-to- mitochondrial cytochrome c concentrations. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, compared to the negative control group. NC: negative control cells; Si: cells with SelR siRNA transfection for 24 h; G: cells exposed to d-galactose (150 mM) for 36 h; Si+G: cells with SelR siRNA transfection followed by d-galactose exposure.
