Effect of RA on superoxide-induced changes in viability (A) nuclear condensation (B), and Bcl-xL, caspase-3 and p38-MAPK (C) of aHSCs. Cells were incubated in the absence (0 or Control) or presence of 0.3–5.0 µM 13-cis-RA for 5 days, washed and placed in serum-free medium without (0 or Control) or with RA, and challenged with 1 mM HX ± 2 mU/ml XO. In (B,C), cells were incubated with 2.5 µM RA for 5 days. Various determinations were made at 24 h except p38-MAPK (3 h). A: *P<0.005 versus HX; **P<0.05 versus HX; ***P<0.05 versus “0” RA and HX + XO; #P< 0.05 versus “0” RA. B: *P< 0.005 versus HX; **P<0.05 versus Control.
