SchB attenuates THP-induced oxidative stress in primary cardiomyocytes. THP reduced H9C2 (A) cardiomyocyte viability and (B) increased reactive oxygen species. Scale bar, 200 µm. (C) Similarly, the expression levels of SOD2, pro-caspase-3 and Bcl-2/Bax decreased, while the expression levels of NOX2 and cleaved-caspase-3 increased. However, after treatment with SchB, the aforementioned changes were significantly improved. (D) Semi-quantitative analysis of western blotting results. All values are presented as the mean ± SD. *P<0.05 vs. CON; #P<0.05 vs. THP. SOD, superoxide dismutase; NOX, NADPH oxidase; CON, control; SchB, schisandrin B; THP, pirarubicin.
