RNA was isolated and real-time PCR was performed to measure the expression of Catalase, SOD1, and AOX1 in (a) HepG2 and (b) A549 cell. The expression was normalized to β-actin. The data are presented as mean ± SEM. p<0.05 compared with corresponding TSC-only treatment. SSCR, standardized Smilax china L. root extracts; TSC, tobacco smoke condensate; N/D, Not detected.
