Exogenous H2S protected mitochondria by maintaining of mitochondrial dynamics. (A) The expression levels of the mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins, P-Drp1/Drp1, Fis1 and Mfn2, were measured in cardiac mitochondria by Western blotting. (B) The expression levels of the mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins, P-Drp1/Drp1, Fis1 and Mfn2, were examined in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by Western blotting. (C) The mitochondrial morphology of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes was measured by MitoTracker green assay. (D) JC-1 assay was used to examine the mitochondrial membrane potential of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. (E) The expression of Parkin, PINK1, Beclin1, Atg7, P62 and LC3II/I was detected in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes with Mito-Tempo and Midivi-1 treatment in by Western blotting. Values are presented as the mean ± S.D. from n = 5 replicates. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
