Induction of Nrf2 in KtyI−/− and KtyII−/−K8 prenatal epidermis. (A) Strong upregulation of selected Nrf2 target genes from transcriptome profiles of E18.5 KtyI−/− and KtyII−/−K8 skin RNA. (B) Confirmation of data in A, using quantitative RT-PCR analysis. (C) Transcriptome profile and quantitative RT-PCR showing increase in Nrf2 mRNA in the skin of keratin-deficient embryos. (D) Western blot establishing a strong increase of Nrf2 protein in KtyI−/− and KtyII−/−K8 at E17.5 and E18.5, but no difference in Keap1. (E) Persistent upregulation and nuclear localization of Nrf2 in the epidermis of both KO mice, based on immunohistochemistry of E16.5–E18.5 embryos. Bars: (main) 50 µm; (insets) 10 µm. *, P ≤ 0.05.
