Nrf2 in BMSCs promotes B-ALL cell migration and invasion (A) Transwell assays performed for analyzing cell invasion and migration after incubation with Nalm-6/RS4; 11 alone and co-culture with MSCs for 24 h (B, D, E) Downregulation of Nrf2 expression in MSCs was tested for migration and invasion rates of Nalm6/RS4:11 cells in the microcellular compartment at 24 h. Migration and invasion rates were significantly decreased in the downregulated group (p < 0.01). (C,F,G) Upregulation of Nrf2 expression in MSCs revealed a significant increase in the migration and invasion rate of Nalm6/RS4: 11 in cells within the upregulated group at 24 h. Each assay was conducted thrice independently and denoted as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
