Diclofenac-Induced Apoptosis in the Neuroblastoma Cell Line SH-SY5Y: Possible Involvement of the Mitochondrial Superoxide Dismutase

Figure 6

Effect of a heterologous thioredoxin on the reduced SOD2 protein level caused by diclofenac. (a) SH-SY5Y cells were incubated for 24 hours in the absence or in the presence of 150  𝜇 M diclofenac plus the indicated concentrations of SsTrx. The SOD2 protein level was evaluated by immunoblotting. As a loading control, the same filter was probed with an anti-β-tubulin antibody. (b) Densitometry evaluation of three independent experiments; # 𝑃 < . 0 5 compared to untreated cells; * 𝑃 < . 0 1 compared to diclofenac-treated cells.
