Paeoniflorin (PF) protected HUVECs from TBHP-induced oxidative stress via HO-1 activation. (A) Evaluation of total HO-1 protein by Western blotting. (B) Percentage of DCFDA staining intensity under different treated groups and detected by fluorescence microscope. (C) Representative images of DCFDA fluorescence performed to exhibit the intracellular ROS level under different conditions. (D,E) Evaluation of HO-1, cleaved caspase-3, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins using Western blotting for each group treated with/without TBHP, PF, and protoporphyrin IX (SnPP). Data: mean ± SD, **p < 0.01 vs controls. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 vs. TBHP-stimulated HUVECs. @p < 0.05, @@p < 0.01 vs. TBHP+PF co-treated HUVECs. n = 3.
