Figure 1. A single step synthesis of methylated marliolide from marliolide whose synthetic scheme was previously reported[8].
Figure 2. MTT assay shows that methylated marliolide does not affect the viability of HaCaT cells.
Figure 3. Luciferase assay shows that methylated marliolide significantly activates ARE-luciferase activity in HaCaT-ARE-GFP-luciferase cells. Resveratrol was included as a positive control.
Figure 4. Western blot shows that methylated marliolide induces HO-1, NQO1, and NRF2 in HaCaT cells. Resveratrol was included as a positive control.
Figure 5. Methylated marliolide transcriptionally induces HO-1 and NQO1 in HaCaT cells.
Figure 6. Immunofluorescence study shows that methylated marliolide suppress TPA-induced generation of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE, Left Panel) and 8-oxodeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, Right Panel) in HaCaT cells.
