Functionalized Fullerene Increases NF-κB Activity and Blocks Genotoxic Effect of Oxidative Stress in Serum-Starving Human Embryo Lung Diploid Fibroblasts

Figure 7

F-828 entails a decrease in the level of NOX4 protein in serum-starving HELFs. (a) (FCA): (1): the FL1-NOX4 versus SSC plots. Gate R encircles the fraction of HELFs with elevated values of FL1-NOX4; (2): dependence of the median values of the FL1-NOX4 signals on the fullerene concentration. (b) (qRT-PCR): changes in the levels of mRNAs encoding NOX4 in HELFs.
