Effect of Media Composition and Oxygen Tension on Cellular Stress Response and Nrf2 Activation in HepG2ARE Cells. (PubMed, Antioxidants (Basel)) - Feb 26, 2025 - "The activation of Nrf2 by ferroptosis activators (erastin and RSL3) was dependent on cell media and oxygen tension. The induction of Nrf2 by an inducer of endoplasmic reticulum stress, thapsigargin, was observable only in cells grown in DMEM and at low oxygen tension...Results indicate that stress tolerance and the activation of Nrf2 in the HepG2ARE cell line depend on the growth conditions, including cell media and oxygen. Cell culture conditions should be critically considered when designing in vitro models of diseases involving oxidative stress."
