Antioxidant and DNA Repair Stimulating Effect of Extracts from Transformed and Normal Roots of Rhaponticum carthamoides against Induced Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage in CHO Cells

Figure 7

Effect of 1.0 mg/mL R. carthamoides TR and NR extracts (a) for 24 h on protein expression in the CHO cells. Before treatment with plant extracts, the cells were exposed to H₂O₂ at 50 μM for 10 min. (a) Western blot analysis was performed using SOD2 and CAT antibodies. Representative gels from three independent experiments are shown. The bar graph shows a semiquantitative comparison of SOD2 (b) and CAT (c) to β-actin optical density ratio. Results were represented as means ± SE from three independent experiments. as compared to TR and NR extract with the control (cells incubated with PBS). Control 24 h: cells incubated for 24 h with PBS; H₂O₂: cells incubated with H₂O₂; NR 24 h: cells incubated for 24 h with NR extract; TR 24 h: cells incubated for 24 h with TR extract; H₂O₂ + NR 24 h: cells treated with H₂O₂ before 24 h incubation with NR extract; H₂O₂ + TR 24 h: cells treated with H₂O₂ before 24 h incubation with TR extract.
