mROS mediates Ti ion induced autophagy in osteoblastic cells. (A) Quantification of mROS levels using a fluorescence spectrometer after osteoblastic cells were treated with TiCl4. Osteoblastic cells were preincubated with 10 mM Mito-TEMPO for 2 h and treated with 50 µM TiCl4, then the(B) mROS levels, (C) LC3 protein expression level and (D) and cell viability were determined. Data are presented as a percentage of the control group, which was set at 100%. *P<0.05 vs. control group, #P<0.05 vs. TiCl4 group. Ti, titanium;TiCl4, Ti tetrachloride; LC3, microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 α; mROS, mitochondrion-derived reactive oxygen species.
