Figure 1From: Nrf2 Activates Augmenter of Liver Regeneration (ALR) via Antioxidant Response Element and Links Oxidative Stress to Liver RegenerationSpecific Nrf2 inducer activates ALR expression. (A) mRNA expression of NQO1 and ALR was analyzed after stimulation with tBHQ (200 µmol/L, 24 h) in HepG2 and PHH by qRT-PCR. Untreated cells served as control and 18S ribosomal RNA expression was determined for normalization (two independent experiments in triplicates, mean ± SD). (B) ALR protein expression in cellular lysates of HepG2 cells stimulated without or with tBHQ (200 µmol/L, 24 h) was analyzed by Western blotting followed by densitometry. *P < 0.05 differs from corresponding control.Back to article page
