HS induces mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis in SCs. A and B Mitochondrial Ca2+ levels in SCs after HS exposure. C Protein expression levels of the MCU in SCs after HS exposure. D and E JC-1 staining was employed to assess the effect of HS on mitochondrial membrane potential. F ATP levels in SCs were measured using luciferase-based assays. G Expression of proteins involved in mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. H–J Quantification of proteins using Image J. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. control
