1 7651354 Specifically, the addition of insulin or hydrocortisone to culture media or the lowering of the initial plating cell density increased cell GSH by increasing the activity of GCS.
2 17109620 Insulin stimulated glutamate-L-cysteine ligase (GCL) activity by activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mTOR signaling, increased serine phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of nuclear NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and upregulation of Nrf2-dependent GCL-catalytic (GCLc) subunit expression.
3 17109620 Inhibitors of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, PI3K, Akt and mTOR abrogated insulin-induced Nrf2-mediated GCLc expression, redox balance, and IHEC survival.
4 19463904 Inhibitors of PI3K (LY294002), Akt (Akt-I), and mTOR (rapamycin) reduced the GLP-1-induced GCLc upregulation and its protection against MG-induced PC12 apoptosis.
5 21217061 High-glucose-induced upregulation of NQO1, GCLC, and HMOX1 was also prevented by pretreatment with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-catalase or N-acetylcysteine, whereas administration of H(2)O(2) mimicked the effect of high glucose.
