AS-IV prevents cadmium-induced oxidative stress in HK2 cells by activating Nrf2 (A, D) Mitochondrial membrane potential alteration detected by JC-1 kit. (B, C) Intracellular ROS levels were detected by flow cytometry after staining with DCFH-DA probe. E. Measurement of HK2 cells Nrf2, HO-1 and NQO1 protein expression by WB. Data are shown as mean ± s.d. Two-tailed t-test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001.
