Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) expression drives both expression of NCF2 and GP91PHOX respiratory burst oxidase genes and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). (A and B) Relative mRNA expressions of NCF2 and GP91PHOX upon ATRA and ATRA + NC9 treatment over 11 days were determined at the indicated time points by real-time Q-PCR and normalized to cyclophilin-D mRNA levels in NB4-WT, TG2-C, TG2-KD, TG2-ha, and TG2-KO cells. Results are the mean±Standard Deviation of 3 independent experiments. (C) Production of ROS was determined for each cell line by using a luminescence-based method in triplicates (n=5) and reported as relative light units (RLU). Values are normalized to 100 μg protein of cell lysate content, respectively. Statistical significance was determined via two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA; Bonferroni post-hoc test; *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.005 ****P<0.001). GAPDH: glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; ATRA: all-trans retinoic acid.
