Redox and ER stress-associated gene expression. Huh-7 cells were treated with 1% BSA as the control and 800 μM of palmitic acid with or without 200 μM of 5-ALA for eight hours as the treatment groups. (a) NRF2, (b) HO-1, (c) GRP78, (d) ATF6, (e) PERK, (f) IRE1, (g) CHOP, and (h) BCL-2 expression. The results were expressed as the ratio compared with the control. Bars indicate average ± SEM. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. CNT, control; PA, palmitic acid; NRF2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase; GRP78, Glucose-regulated protein 78; ATF6, activating transcription factor 6; PERK, PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase; IRE1, inositol-requiring enzyme 1; CHOP, C/EBP homologous protein; BCL-2, B-cell lymphoma 2.
