MCU antagonist prevented podocytes from ADR- and Ang II-induced apoptosis in vitro. Ctl, control; ADR, Adriamycin; Ang II, angiotensin II; Ru360, MCU inhibitor; a, compared with Ctl group; b, compared with the ADR or Ang II group; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01. a The cells in Q3 which were annexin high and PI low were counted as apoptotic cells. Compared with ADR or Ang II -treated podocytes, Ru360 decreased the podocyte apoptosis rate significantly (n = 3). b Compared with ADR or Ang II -treated podocytes, Ru360 decreased active caspase-3 in mouse podocytes significantly (n = 4). c Compared with ADR or Ang II -treated podocytes, Ru360 decreased mitochondrial Ca2+ levels in mouse podocytes significantly (n = 10)
