Protective Effects of Liposomal N-Acetylcysteine against Paraquat-Induced Cytotoxicity and Gene Expression
Figure 6
Effect of NAC or L-NAC pretreatment on the magnitude of gene expression in PQ-challenged cells. RNA was extracted from cells challenged with 0 or 0.25 mM PQ for 4 h following pretreatment with 5.0 mM NAC- or L-NAC-containing media and analyzed via quantitative reverse-transcription PCR using a gene array. The magnitude of expression of each gene is expressed on a scale ranging from minimal (intense green) to maximal (intense red) expression ( independent experiments).
