Fig. 2. Suppressing Sirt3 expression exacerbated CaOx-induced cell death in vitro.

Fig. 2

a Flow cytometry analysis showed that silencing sirt3 increased TEC apoptosis and necrosis in the presence of CaOx. b ROS activity was significantly upregulated by Sirt3 siRNA transfection. c Western blot showed the expression of Sirt3, cleaved caspase-3 and Bcl-2 with Sirt3 or control siRNA transfection. Sirt3 siRNA transfection effectively inhibited Sirt3 protein expression. In the Sirt3 siRNA group, cleaved caspase-3 expression was significantly increased, and Bcl-2 expression was decreased. Data are shown as the means ± S.D.; n = 3 per group
