ABCG1 Attenuates Oxidative Stress Induced by H2O2 through the Inhibition of NADPH Oxidase and the Upregulation of Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant Defense in Endothelial Cells

Figure 2

Effect of ABCG1 on H2O2-induced NADPH oxidase activity in HUAECs. HUAECs were transfected with the specific ABCG1 siRNA or ABCG1 overexpression plasmid or preincubated with T0901317 and then treated with H2O2 for 12 h or not. At the end of the incubation, NADPH oxidase activity was detected by (a) lucigenin-derived chemiluminescence and by translocation of cytosolic p47phox to the membrane via (b, c) western blotting. Data shown are (). , vs. normal controls; ## vs. HUAECs treated with H2O2.
