Figure 2From: Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase knockdown enhances IL-8 expression in HepG2 cells via oxidative stress and NF-κB signaling pathwayThe effect of G6PD deficiency on IL-8 mRNA level in palmitate-treated HepG2 cells. The mRNA level of IL-8 in Sc and Gi HepG2 cells treated with different concentrations of palmitate (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 mM) for 24 hr was analyzed by qRT-PCR. These results are representative of at least three separate experiments. *indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) between Sc and Gi HepG2 cells.Back to article page
