SchB inhibited ferroptosis and oxidative stress on hepatocytes cultured with THP. Effects of different concentrations of THP on cell viability (a). Effects of different concentrations of SchB with 5 μM THP on cell viability (b). The levels of ROS increased, which decreased with Fer-1 or SchB treatment in THP hepatocytes (c). The relative fluorescence intensity provides more evidence (d). The levels of NRF2, SOD2, GPX4, and Bcl-2/Bax decreased in THP hepatocytes (e). In addition, the expression of NOX2/4 and cleaved caspase-3 was slightly increased (e). However, SchB treatment eliminated these adverse reactions (e). Semiquantitative analysis provides more evidence (f). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. P < 0.05 vs. CON and #P < 0.05 and &P < 0.05 vs. THP. CON: control; SchB: schisandrin B; THP: pirarubicin; Fer-1: ferrostatin-1; NRF2: nuclear factor erythroid 2 like 2; NOX2/4: NADPH oxidase 2/4; SOD2: superoxide disproportionation 2; GPX4: glutathione peroxidase 4; Bcl-2: B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax: Bcl-2-associated X.
