FIGURE 5.
Ferroptosis induced by ALI was related to the inhibition of Nrf2-HO-1/GPX4 pathway. (A), (B) The effect of ALI on the protein of Nrf-2, HO-1, and GPX-4 was evaluated by Western blot. (C), (D) Western blot was used to detect the effect of ALI on protein Nrf-2, HO-1, and GPX-4 after Ferrostatin-1 pretreatment. (E), (F) Protein levels of Nrf-2, HO-1, and GPX-4 in HK-2 cells were detected by Western blot after co-treatment of ALI and SNPP. (G), (H) Western blot was used to detect the effects of ALI combined with MT on the protein levels of Nrf-2, HO-1 and GPX-4 in HK-2 cells. ns, no significant; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 vs. the control group; # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, #### p < 0.0001 vs. the ALI group.
