Construction and identification of NOX4GV 358Lv-RhoA shRNA stable cell lines. (A) The NOX4GV 358Lv cell line was transfected with a lentivirus containing RhoA shRNA. Cells were observed under an optical microscope (left) and a fluorescence microscope (right) in the same field of vision. Original magnification, 200×; (B) RT-qPCR analysis of Nox4 mRNA in the NOX4 shRNA stable cell line. (C) WB analysis of the NOX4 protein levels in the NOX4GV 358Lv-RhoAi group. (D) Cell proliferation detected by the MTS assay. (E,F) Cell apoptosis levels detected by the TUNEL assay. Black arrows: typical apoptotic cells. Percentage of apoptotic cells = apoptotic cells/cell count per high-power field; 10 different fields of vision were randomly selected from each group. Original magnification, 200×; (G,H) Cell scratch assay. Original magnification, 100×. The data are presented as the means ± SEMs of three replicates. p < 0.05, versus the NOX4GV 358Lv-con group; #p < 0.05, versus the NOX4GV 358Lv-RhoAi group.
