NRF2 confers cytarabine (Ara-C) resistance partly through the activation of DUSP1 in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). (A) Ara-C and (E)-2-benzylidene-3-(cyclohexylamino)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-one (BCI) have synergistic effects in NRF2 agonist-treated SKM-1 cells. (B) DUSP1 shRNA-1 sensitized SKM-1 cells to Ara-C treatment. (C) DUSP1 shRNA-1 re-sensitized NRF2 agonist treated SKM-1 cells to Ara-C treatment. (D) DUSP1 shRNA-1 enhanced apoptosis induced by Ara-C in SKM-1 cell lines. (E) DUSP1 shRNA-1 induced S phrase arrest in SKM-1. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P≤0.001.
