1 Our experimental results demonstrated that pretreatment with esculetin markedly increased the cell viability while decreased the apoptosis in H2O2-treated human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells, by regulating Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 protein expressions and by altering the imbalance of activities of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). esculetin superoxide dismutase 1 Homo sapiens

3 Our data revealed that esculetin played an antioxidant role not only through its antioxidant activity, but also by highly inducing Nrf-2 translocation to the nucleus, which in turn, enhanced Nrf2 signaling regulated antioxidant genes (HO-1, NQO1, GCLM, SOD1 and SOD2) mRNA expression levels in H2O2-treated HCE cells. esculetin superoxide dismutase 1 Homo sapiens
