Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 counteracted BM-MSCs coculture induced antioxidation and GFAP/VIM switch. Astrocytes were administrated with or without ML385 for 6 h, then followed by 30 μM hemin incubation, with or without BM-MSCs coculture treatment. (A) TUNEL staining (red) was used to mark apoptotic cells. Bar = 50 μm. (B) The results of the apoptosis rate and densitometric analysis of the bands were plotted into a histogram of five randomly fields. (C,D) Western blotting analysis of Cx43, GFAP, VIM, Nrf2, HO-1 protein expression was examined. The relative expression was normalized to control. All data are displayed as means ± SD (n = 3). The difference between groups was analyzed using One-way ANOVA test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, compared with control (ML385 0 μM).
