Fig 3. SIRT3 attenuates the oxidative stress induced by HBx expression.

Fig 3

(A) Western blot analyzed HBx and SIRT3 in cells transfected with indicated plasmids. β-actin was used as a loading control. (B-C) ROS levels in Huh-7 cells transfected with indicated plasmids were examined by carboxy-H2DCFDA fluorescence (B) or flow cytometry (C). Magnification, ×100. *, p<0.01. (D)The expression of HBx and SIRT3 in cells transfected with indicated plasmids and siRNA. β-actin was used as a loading control. (E-F) ROS levels in Huh-7 cells transfected with indicated plasmids and siRNA were examined by carboxy-H2DCFDA fluorescence (E) or flow cytometry (F). Magnification, ×100. *, p<0.05. (G) The GSH/GSSG ratio in Huh-7 cells treated with 1 mM H2O2 or transfected with indicated plasmids was analyzed by GSH/GSSG-Glo™ Assay. *, p<0.01.
