Fig. 1. AOPPs induced mtROS production in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Fig. 1

A MitoSOX results showed that AOPPs (200 μg/mL) significantly increased mtROS levels in MC3T3-E1 cells. Pretreatment with apocynin, MitoTEMPO or rapamycin significantly reduced AOPP-induced mtROS production. Apocynin or MitoTEMPO alone also decreased mtROS levels in MC3T3-E1 cells, while rapamycin alone had no significant effect on mtROS levels. However, 3-MA not only elevated the mtROS level when administered alone but also further increased AOPP-induced mtROS generation (n = 6 for each group). B DCFH-DA results showed that the intracellular ROS production induced by 200 μg/mL AOPPs could be decreased by pretreatment with apocynin, MitoTEMPO and rapamycin. 3-MA further increased the intracellular ROS generation induced by AOPPs. Apocynin, MitoTEMPO, rapamycin and 3-MA had no significant effect on intracellular ROS production compared to the control group (n = 6 for each group). Data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 versus control, #P < 0.05 versus AOPPs.
