Phlda3 mRNA and protein levels are upregulated by oxidative stress-inducing agents in parallel with the induction of antioxidant genes. MIN6 cells or primary mouse islets were cultured in the absence (white bars) or presence of 50 mmol/l ribose for 48 h or high glucose (30 mmol/l) for 3 weeks (black bars). Human islets were cultured in the absence or presence of 50 µmol/l H2O2. Changes in the mRNA levels of Phlda3, Hmox1, Gpx1 and Srxn1 in ribose-treated MIN6 cells (a,b). Changes in the mRNA levels of Phlda3 in ribose-treated islets (c). Changes in PHLDA3 immunostaining in ribose-treated MIN6 cells (d). Changes in the mRNA levels of Phlda3 and Srxn1 in high glucose-treated islets (e,f). Changes in PHLDA3 immunostaining in H2O2-treated human islets and immunostaining for insulin and glucagon on adjacent islet sections (g). n = 3–5 experiments. **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs control. Scale bars, 50 µm.
