Ru360 or the knockdown of MCU could attenuate bupivacaine-induced mitochondrial oxidative damage and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cell incubation with high glucose. NC: cells transfected with silencer negative control siRNA; siMCU: cells transfected with MCU siRNA; Ru360: cells pretreated with 10 μΜ Ru360 for 30 min; HG+Bup: cells cultured with 25 mM glucose for 2 days and treated with 1.0 mM bupivacaine for 6 h. (a) Mitochondrial damage was measured with JC-1. (b) Apoptotic cells (early apoptotic cells at the lower right quadrant for Annexin V-FITC-positive and PI-negative) were measured with flow cytometry. Values are the mean ± SD (n = 3); ∗P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01.
