Quantitative real-time RT-PCR showed the expression of SOD-1 and SOD-2 in H₂O₂-treated PL-MSCs. (a) The expression of SOD-1 in PL-MSCs after 24 h of co-treatment with 750 μM H₂O₂ and fucoxanthin. (b) The expression of SOD-1 in PL-MSCs pre-treated with fucoxanthin for 24 h followed by treatment with 750 μM H₂O₂ for 24 h. (c) The expression of SOD-2 in PL-MSCs after 24 h of co-treatment with 750 μM H₂O₂ and fucoxanthin. (d) The expression of SOD-2 in PL-MSCs pre-treated with fucoxanthin for 24 h, followed by treatment with 750 μM H₂O₂ for 24 h. Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 3. Statistical significance was tested using the pair T-test. ^#p ≤ 0.01, ^##p ≤ 0.001 vs. PL-MSCs cultured in the completed DMEM medium. *p ≤ 0.05 vs. H₂O₂-treated PL-MSCs without fucoxanthin. ^$p ≤ 0.05 vs. PL-MSCs cultured in the completed DMEM medium.
