Fig. 6. Potentiation of the tBHP-triggered lipid peroxidation by TGF-β1 in PLC/PRF/5 and Huh7 cells.

Fig. 6

a PLC/PRF/5 (n = 6) and Huh7 cells (n = 4) were treated with either vehicle or 5 ng/mL of TGF-β1 for 2 days. At 1 h before the measurement, tBHP was added at doses of 100 µM to PLC/PRF/5 cells (n = 3) and 50 µM to Huh7 cells (n = 4)(right). b Cells (n = 3) were pretreated with 20 µM Fer-1 1 h before TGF-β1 treatment. DFOA was added at doses of 100 µM 1 h before the measurement in PLC/PRF/5 cells or before tBHP treatment in Huh7 cells. TGF-β1 and tBHP were treated as described in a. The first two groups in Huh7 cells (tBHP, TGF-β1 with tBHP) are identical to a as these experiments were performed at once, but displayed again to enhance understanding. c PLC/PRF/5 (n = 4) and Huh7 cells (n = 4) were treated with either vehicle or 5 ng/mL TGF-β1 for 8 days. tBHP was added 1 h before measurement at doses of 100 µM in PLC/PRF/5 cells (n = 4) and 50 µM in Huh7 cells (n = 4). d SK-Hep1 (n = 3) and SNU475 (n = 3) cells were treated with 5 ng/mL of TGF-β1 for 2 days and then further incubated with tBHP at the indicated concentrations for 1 h. Lipid peroxidation was measured with the BODIPY® C11 probe and expressed as the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI); multiple analyses are shown as the mean ± SD. Representative histograms were shown in supplemental Fig. 1. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, TGF-β1 versus vehicle; †P < 0.05, ††P < 0.01, TGF-β1 in vehicle-treated cells versus TGF-Β1 in Fer-1- or DFOA-treated cells.
