The relation between PCE-induced ROS and FAK downregulation. (a) Bel-7402 cells were transfected with recombinant human FAK and empty vector and subjected to suspension culture, PCE (200 μg/mL) treatment, and ROS assay. (b) NAC pretreated or untreated Bel-7402 cells were treated with PCE (200 μg/mL) and subjected to western blot. ** 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 , versus control group; 𝑃 > 0 . 0 5 , re-FAK group versus PCE-treated empty vector group.
