Effects of TrxR1 siRNA on cell death and ROS levels in Tempol-treated lung cancer and normal cells. Cells (approximately 40–50% confluence) were transfected with control scramble siRNA or TrxR1 siRNA. One day later, cells were treated with 1 mM Tempol for 48 h. (A) Annexin V-FITC positive cells were evaluated with a FAC Star flow cytometer. Graph shows proportions of annexin V-positive cells in A549, Calu-6, and WI-38 VA-13 cells. (B) Intracellular ROS (DCF) levels in the tested lung cells were measured using a FAC Star flow cytometer. Graph indicates mean ROS (DCF) levels (%) in A549, Calu-6, and WI-38 VA-13 cells. *p < 0.05 compared with untreated controls. #p < 0.05 compared with scramble siRNA-transfected and Tempol-treated WI-38 VA-13 cells.
