Chlorpyrifos Induces the Expression of the Epstein-Barr Virus Lytic Cycle Activator BZLF-1 via Reactive Oxygen Species

Figure 3

Induction of BZLF-1 gene expression by CPF in Raji cells. Raji cells were stimulated with CPF, and the BZLF-1 gene expression level was evaluated by real-time PCR. (a) CPF induces the EBV lytic cycle through the expression of BZLF-1 in a dose-dependent manner. (b) Effect of the antioxidant NAC (50 μM) on the CPF- (100 μM) induced increase in BZLF-1 expression. The results are expressed as the means ± SEM. , , and .
