Expression of PTG prevents induction of HO-1 by glucose deprivation
(A and B) Real-time qPCR analysis of HMOX-1 and HMOX-2 in the HepG2 stable cell lines, in the presence or absence of glucose. Relative analysis was performed using GUSB as a reference gene. Asterisk indicates P< 0.05 when compared with the corresponding cell line in the presence of glucose (C) Western blot showing increased levels of HO-1 in GFP and GBE1 expressing cells, but not PTG expressing cells.
