Improvement of Antioxidant Defences in Keratinocytes Grown in Physioxia: Comparison of 2D and 3D Models

Figure 8

Physioxia stimulates antioxidant enzyme activity in keratinocyte cultures and in RHE. HaCaT and NHEK were submitted to physioxia (3% O2) or normoxia (18.6% O2) for 4 days. RHE were generated in physioxia (3% O2) or in normoxia (18.6% O2) for 15 days. Catalase and SOD enzymatic activities were evaluated in cells or RHE extracts. Data are presented by the relative enzymatic activities, normalized to protein amount, with of at least 3 independent experiments. Statistical significance was determined using analysis of variance (ANOVA). , , , and between physioxia and normoxia.
