Figure 2. Dox exposure upregulates Redd1 expression in both cardiac tissue and cultured cardiomyocytes. (A, B) Representative photomicrographs and quantitative analysis of cardiac p16INK4a immunofluorescent staining in control and Dox-treated mice (n = 6 per group). (C, D) Representative photomicrographs and quantitative analysis of cardiac p21 immunofluorescent staining in control and Dox-treated mice (n = 6 per group). (E, F) Western blotting detection and quantification of Redd1, p16INK4a, and p21 expression in cardiac tissue from control and Dox-treated mice (n = 6–8 per group). (G, H) Time-course expression and quantification analysis of Redd1, p16INK4a, and p21 protein levels in cultured H9c2 cardiomyocytes treated with Dox (0.1 μM) (n = 3 samples per group). Data are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05 vs. control group.
