Figure 3From: 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 cells. The mRNA level of IL-8 in G6PD normal and G6PD-deficient cells (HepG2, SK-Hep1, and HFF) was determined by qRT-PCR. These results are representative of at least three separate experiments. *indicates a significant difference (P < 0.05) between G6PD normal and G6PD-deficient cells.Back to article page
