<p>ROS production was measured in parental SV-HUC-1 and SCaBER cells or cells exposed to CSC vapor for 6 months using DCFH-DA staining. The cells were transfected with or without the AK3 expression plasmid and treated with or without cisplatin for 48 h before staining. ROS generation in SV-HUC-1 and HUC1-6M (a–c) and SCaBER and SCaBER-6M (d–f) cells with overexpression of AK3 with and without cisplatin. The mean fluorescence density was calculated and data was plotted as mean ± SD (g,h).</p
