Correlation of Reactive Oxygen Species Levels with Resveratrol Sensitivities of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer Cells

Figure 8

The influence of NAC pretreatment in resveratrol-induced ROS generation and cell proliferation. THJ-16T cells were pretreated with NAC (5 mM) or without NAC (5 mM) for 1 hour and then treated with or without 100 μM resveratrol for 48 h. (a) MTT assay performed on THJ-16T cells of different treatment. (b) Flow cytometer determination of intracellular ROS levels in THJ-16T cells of different treatment. (c) THJ-16T cells of different treatment were stained with DCFH-DA and MitoSOX. The statistical significance was set at . N: normal culture; NAC: treatment with 5 mM NAC; R12/R48: treatment with 100 μM resveratrol for 12 h or 48 h; and NAC + R12/R48: pretreatment with 5 mM NAC for 1 h and subsequently exposed to 100 μM resveratrol for 12 h or 48 h.
