Effects of Zn on intracellular ROS in the HPMCs stimulated by HG. HPMCs were co-treated with HG, and TPEN or ZnSO4 for 48 h. (A) Intracellular ROS were measured by flow cytometry using an oxidation-sensitive fluorescent probe, dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, which is oxidized to 2,7′-dichlorofluorescein in the presence of ROS. (B) Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. P-values were determined using ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. *P<0.05 vs. NC; #P<0.05 vs. HG. NC, negative control; HG, high glucose; TPEN, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine; Zn, ZnSO4; HPMC, human peritoneal mesothelial cell; ROS, reactive oxygen species.
