Figure 6. Nox4 gene knockdown promoted T. gondii replication.

Figure 6

ARPE-19 cells were transfected with Nox4-specific siRNA for 48 h. (A) Nox4 knockdown efficiency was determined by western blot. (B) Intracellular ROS levels were measured by flow cytometry after DHE staining. (C) ARPE-19 cells transfected with control siRNA or specific Nox4 siRNAs were infected with T. gondii for 24 h, and fluorescence micrographs of intracellular tachyzoite replication 24 h post-infection were obtained. The results are expressed as mean ± SD of three independent experiments.
