Inhibition of Uncoupling Protein 2 Enhances the Radiosensitivity of Cervical Cancer Cells by Promoting the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species

Figure 1

UCP2 expression was upregulated in response to ionizing radiation in HeLa cells. (a) UCP2 mRNA level at 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after irradiation was determined with qRT-PCR. (b) UCP2 protein level at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h after irradiation was determined by western blotting. Bars are of triplicate assays. vs. 0 h X-radiation exposure.
