Figure 4 .
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and activated caspase 3/7 in response to HHP treatment. (a) Left: representative histograms of the fluorescence expression of MitoSOX Red among the control, STS-treated and various time exposure of 0 MPa groups. Right: representative histograms of the fluorescence expression of MitoSOX Red among the control, STS-treated and HHP-exposed and unexposed groups. (b) Diagram comparing the MFI of ROS elevation among groups (n = 3). (c) Immunofluorescence images of ROS production stained by MitoSOX Red mitochondria indicator and Hoechst 33,342 showing the generation of a ROS signal after 50-MPa treatment for 24, 36 or 48 h. Scale bar: 20 μm. Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. (d) Activated caspase 3/7 fluorescence expression and ratio of caspase positivity between groups without HHP (0 MPa) and with 50 MPa for 36 h (n = 3).
