Zinc Protoporphyrin Upregulates Heme Oxygenase-1 in PC-3 Cells via the Stress Response Pathway

Figure 8

Effect of NAC on ZnPP- or rottlerin-induction of HO-1. PC-3 cells were treated with nothing (control); 10 mM NAC (5 h); 10 μM ZnPP (5 h); 2 μM rottlerin (5 h); 10 mM NAC (1 h pretreatment) plus 10 μM ZnPP (5 h); or 10 mM NAC (1 h pretreatment) plus 2 μM rottlerin (5 h). Relative HO-1mRNA levels were determined by real-time PCR as described in Section 2. Results were expressed as “Fold Induction” over control. ; * compared with control.
