Digoxin inhibited Nrf2 not through affecting stability of Nrf2 mRNA and translation and degradation of Nrf2 protein in SW1990/Gem and Panc-1/Gem cells. (A–B) 80 nM of digoxin was incubated with or without actinomycin D (5 μg/mL) in SW1990/Gem and Panc-1/Gem cells for 2 h, 4 h and 8 h. Nrf2 mRNA levels at different time points (2 h, 4 h and 8 h) were detected using qRT-PCR. (C–D) 80 nM of digoxin was incubated with or without actinomycin D (5 μg/mL) in SW1990/Gem and Panc-1/Gem cells for 2 h, 4 h and 8 h. Nrf2 protein levels at different time points (2 h, 4 h and 8 h) were detected using Western blot. Data were expressed as mean ± SD, and the results were representative of three independent experiments. Significant differences were indicated as **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. control group. N.S., no significant.
