Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of MGO, Glo1, Stat3 and CaMKII phosphorylation on NaB-mediated target gene expression and cell viability. (A) After treatment with MGO (0.2-1.6 mM) for 48 h, the expression of Nrf2, Glo1 and HO-1, as well as the cell viability were determined. (B) The cell viability of the DU145 cells with overexpression of Glo1 or Stat3 was examined. (C) Cells were pretreated with KN-93 (10 µM) for 2 h followed by treatment with NaB for 48 h. Then, the expression of MAPKs and pro-apoptotic proteins were determined. Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001 vs. the Vector or Control group; # P<0.05, ### P<0.001 vs. respective NaB-treated alone cells. MGO, methylglyoxal; Glo1, glyoxalase1; Stat3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3; CaMKII, calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II gamma; NaB, sodium butyrate; Nrf2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1; PARP, Poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase.
