Fig. 1From: Downregulation of miR-223 promotes HMGB2 expression and induces oxidative stress to activate JNK and promote autophagy in an in vitro model of acute lung injuryLPS induced oxidative stress and autophagy in alveolar epithelial cells. A MTT assay the effects of different concentrations of LPS on A549 cell viability between 6 and 72 h. B Changes in 8-OHdG expression induced by different concentrations of LPS in A549 cells were detected by ELISA. C Changes in autophagy-related proteins induced by LPS at different concentrations in A549 cells were detected by western blot. D Changes in the apoptotic rate of A549 cells treated with LPS at different concentrations were assessed via flow cytometry. E The fluorescent probe detected the changes in the ROS level in A549 cells induced by different concentrations of LPS. F The concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in A549 cells treated with different concentrations were assessed via ELISA. n =3. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001Back to article page
