Fig. 1From: Nrf2 promotes esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) resistance to radiotherapy through the CaMKIIα-associated activation of autophagyInduction of Nrf2 activity via transfection of lentivirus. The transfection effect of Nrf2 lentivirus was confirmed by qRT-PCR and western blot at mRNA and protein levels in Ec109 (a, b) and KYSE-30 (c, d) cells. The protein level of Nrf2 targeting gene NAD(P)H Quinone Dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) was also evaluated by western blot in both Ec109 (b) and KYSE-30 (d) cells. All results are presented as the mean ± SEM from three repeated experiments. The differences in the two groups were obtained using Student’s t test. **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001Back to article page
