Figure 2 Glutathione metabolism-related genes are up-regulated in cancer stem cell-enriched conditions.
Primary cells from different patient-derived xenograft models as indicated in the figure were cultured in adherent or low-attachment cancer stem cell-enriching conditions. On day 7 the expression of several glutathione (GSH)-related genes was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A: Glutathione-S-Transferases A1, A2, A4, M1; B: Gamma-glutamyltransferases 1 and 2; C: Glutathione Peroxidases 1 and 2; D: Isocitrate Dehydrogenases 1 and 2. Data were normalized to HPRT and are shown as mean ± SE fold change expression levels of sphere vs adherent cultures in logarithmic scale. aP < 0.05; bP < 0.01; cP < 0.001. PDX: Patient-derived xenograft; GGT: Gamma-glutamyltransferase; GST: Glutathione-s-transferase; GPX: Glutathione peroxidase.
