GDF11 increases ISO-induced oxidative stress by upregulating Nox4 in H9C2 cells. (A) Levels of reactive oxygen species in H9C2 cells determined by DHE staining. (B) Concentration of MDA in H9C2 cells. (C) Representative western blot and quantitative analyses of (D) Nox4 and (E) Nox2 expression in H9C2 cells. Data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. control group; #P<0.05 vs. ISO group. DHE, dihydroethidium; rGDF11, recombinant growth differentiation factor 11; ISO, isoproterenol; MDA, malondialdehyde; Nox, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase.
