AS-IV reversed the transverse aortic constriction-induced expression of apoptosis-related proteins and Senp1. (A) Apoptosis-related proteins and Senp1 expression was examined by Western blotting. (B) Quantification of the results in A (n=6). Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation. One-way analysis of variance, followed by Tukey's test. ^*P<0.05 vs. control; ^#P<0.05 vs. HF. AS-IV, astragaloside; Senp1, small ubiquitin-like modifier-specific protease 1; HF, heart failure; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.
