Proteins, Expression, Isolation and Analysis> | … To obtain the SIRT1-knockdown hepatocytes, LO-2 hepatocytes were transduced with lentiviral SIRT1 shRNA designed and synthesized by Genscript (Nanjing, China). The efficacy of transduction was confirmed by the Western blotting assay. … | Get A Quote |
Docetaxel-associated liver injury has become a serious public health problem, resulting in therapy discontinuation, liver failure, and death. Zafirlukast is a typical leukotriene receptor antagonist used for prophylaxis and chronic treatment of asthma. In this study, we investigate whether treatment with Zafirlukast could alleviate Docetaxel-induced cytotoxicity in hepatocytes. Our results indicate that Zafirlukast mitigated Docetaxel-induced toxicity in LO-2 hepatocytes. Firstly, Zafirlukast reduced the production of 8-hydroxy-2p-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and increased the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) against Docetaxel. Secondly, Zafirlukast elevated the levels of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) ... More
