This figure presents results showing that treatment with 1.5mM DCA did not improve apoptotic signaling induced by 100ng/mL TNFα in serum-starved H9c2 cardiac myocytes. Levels of Bax, Bcl-2 Expression, and cleaved caspase-3 were similar to TNFα-treated controls. Results represent 1 experiment out of 4.

DCA does not protect cardiac myocytes against TNFα-induced apoptosis. H9c2 cardiac myocytes were serum starved for 3 hrs, and then treated with 1.5 mM DCA. 1 hr into DCA treatment, 100 ng/mL TNFα was added to the culture medium for 24 hrs to induce apoptosis. DCA-mediated activation of PDH did not improve apoptotic signaling in response to TNFα, as Bax expression, Bcl-2 expression, and caspase 3 cleavage levels were similar to those observed in TNFα treated control cardiac myocytes. Scans represent 1 experiment out of 4.
