Fig. 4: CERK/C1P protects against oxidative damage via the upregulation of NRF2 protein expression.

a The protein expression of CERK in mice with acute liver injury was measured via WB at different time points. b The mRNA expression of CERK in mice with acute liver injury was measured by qRT‒PCR at different time points. c The protein expression of CERK in AML12 cells with oxidative damage induced by different concentrations of H2O2 was measured via western blotting. d The mRNA expression of CERK in AML12 cells with oxidative damage induced by different concentrations of H2O2 was measured via qRT‒PCR. e The protein expression of CERK in AML12 cells with stable CERK knockdown was measured by western blotting. f The mRNA expression of CERK in AML12 cells with stable CERK knockdown was measured by qRT‒PCR. g The protein expression of CERK in AML12 cells treated with NVP-231 (upper panel) or C1P (lower panel) was measured by western blotting. h The mRNA expression of CERK in AML12 cells treated with NVP-231 or C1P was measured by qRT‒PCR. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the significant differences. ns not significant.
