Glutathione production profile and NRF2 expression in lung cancer cells and effects in resistance to cisplatin. (A) Quantification of basal intracellular GSH/GSSG ratio in the lung cancer cell lines. (B) Cellular viability, as determined by XTT assay, in A549 cells treated with cisplatin (5 μM) and BSO (500 μM) for 72 h. (C) Quantification of GCLM and xCT mRNAs expression in lung cancer cells at basal levels, by real time PCR, normalized by GAPDH expression. (D) NRF2 protein level detection and relative quantification by western blot in lung cancer cells. Full-lenght membranes are shown on Supplementary Fig. S7. Values are mean ± SEM of three independent experiments (two for the western blot experiments), *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
