NAC effect on ROS generation of sinuleptolide-treated oral cancer cells and oral normal cells.

Notes: NAC pretreatment condition was 4 mM for 1 h. No NAC pretreatment was kept in culture medium for 1 h. Oral cancer cells (Ca9-22) were incubated with 0, 12, and 24 µg/mL of sinuleptolide for 6 h. (A and B) Typical ROS patterns of sinuleptolide treated Ca9-22 and HGF-1 cells. The right side of each flow cytometry panel indicates the ROS positive (+%) region. (C and D) Statistics of relative mean intensity of ROS pattern (in A and B). Data, mean ± SD (n=3). **P-value of <0.002 for the significance between data with or without NAC pretreatment.

Abbreviations: NAC, N-acetylcysteine; ROS, reactive oxygen species.
