Expression and activity of Nrf2-regulated genes are elevated under MsrA deletion. (A, B) GCLC (A) and GR (B) mRNA levels in MsrA-/- and WT VSMC by qRT-PCR, normalized to ARP; n = 3 biological replicates. (C-E) Representative immunoblot (C) and summary data for GCLC (D) and GR (E) protein levels in whole cell lysates from MsrA-/- and WT VSMC. Data were normalized to GAPDH; n = 6–7 biological replicates. (F) GR activity, normalized to total protein concentration; n = 4 biological replicates. (G, H) Levels of reduced glutathione (GSH, G) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG, H), normalized to total protein; n = 4 biological replicates. (I) Ratio of reduced/oxidized glutathione. (J) Glutathione transferase (GST) activity, normalized to total protein; n = 7 biological replicates. * p < 0.05 versus WT by two-tailed t-test.
