The effects of LIPUS on apoptosis-related molecular signals in renal tubular NRK52E cells after hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment. Cells were treated with or without LIPUS [30 (A, C) and 100 (B, D) mW/cm2] treatment. LIPUS was performed to the cell culture for a period of 15 min before the beginning of the experiment (H/R). The protein levels of Bax, Bcl-2, CHOP, cleaved caspase-3, and COX-2 in NRK-52E cells after H/R (6 h hypoxia/24 h reoxygenation) were determined by Western blotting. The data for quantification were shown in C and D. Data are presented as means ± SEM for three to five independent experiments. *p < 0.05 versus control. #p < 0.05 versus H/R alone.
