Effects of H2S on SM-induced changes in Nrf2 expression, nuclear translocation. Mice were subcutaneously injected with SM (30 mg/kg), with or without intraperitoneal administration of NaHS (5 mg/kg) or intraperitoneal administration of PPG (30 mg/kg), addition NaHS and PPG were given every day for a total of three doses. The left lower lung was removed for Nrf2 protein expression examination using immunohistochemistry (A,B). Lung tissues were collected for isolation of cytosolic and nuclear proteins. Total Nrf2 (C), Nrf2 cytoplasmic (D) and nuclear (E) protein levels in lung tissues were determined by western blot analysis. Data are presented as the mean ± SEM (n = 4). *p < 0.05 vs CTRL group; **p < 0.01 vs CTRL group; #p < 0.05 vs SM group; ##p < 0.01 vs SM group.
