Trichomonas vaginalis Induces SiHa Cell Apoptosis by NF-κB Inactivation via Reactive Oxygen Species

Figure 6

NF-κB activity significantly increased in T. vaginalis-interacted SiHa cells after pretreatment with NAC. (a) Nuclear NF-κB p65 levels were significantly increased in T. vaginalis-treated SiHa cells after NAC pretreatment. (b) NAC pretreatment significantly increased the NF-κB activity attenuated by T. vaginalis and T vaginalis ESP. Results are expressed as means ± standard deviation (SD). The experiment was repeated three times with similar results. , .
