Effect of Schisandra chinensis extract (SCE), schisandrin (Sch) A, and SchB on NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1–antioxidant response element–luciferase activity in human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line cells. Human hepatocellular liver carcinoma cell line cells were transfected with antioxidant response element– luciferase or control plasmids for 6 hours. Following the transfection, cells were treated with SCE at 50–300 µg/mL, 20 µM SchA, or 200 µM SchB for 24 hours. tert-Butylhydroquinone (tBHQ) at 10 µM was used as a positive control. Luciferase activity was measured using the dual luciferase assay system. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n=5).
