Data are expressed as the mean£¿¡À£¿SD; columns: mean of three independent experiments; *p£¿<£¿0.05, **p£¿<£¿0.01. b The protein levels of Keap1 in HepG2, SMMC-7721, HepG2/5-FU, and SMMC-7721/5-FU cells were detected by western blot. GAPDH was used as a reference, data are expressed as the mean£¿¡À£¿SD; the bar graph indicates the normalized values from at least 3 separate experiments; *p£¿<£¿0.05, #p£¿<£¿0.05 vs the respective parent cells. c qRT-PCR was performed to detect the relative expression of KRAL in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells treated with different non-cytotoxic doses of 5-FU, GAPDH was used as a reference, Data are expressed as the mean£¿¡À£¿SD; columns: normalized mean values of three independent experiments; *p£¿<£¿0.05, #p£¿<£¿0.05, &p£¿<£¿0.05. d The protein level of Keap1 in HepG2 and SMMC-7721 cells treated with different non-cytotoxic concentrations of 5-FU was analysed by western blot. GAPDH was used as a reference; data are expressed as the mean£¿¡À£¿SD; the bar graph indicates the normalized values from at least 3 separate experiments; *p£¿<£¿0.05 vs the 0 ¦Ìg/mL group, #p£¿<£¿0.05 vs the 0.05 ¦Ìg/mL or 0.15 ¦Ìg/mL group, &p£¿<£¿0.05 vs the 0.1 ¦Ìg/mL or 0.3 ¦Ìg/mL grou %K Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) %K miR-141 %K Keap1 %K 5-fluorouracil %K Chemoresistance %K Hepatocellular carcinoma %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6098660/
