Keap1 and Nrf2 co-silencing blocks Keap1–Nrf2–HO-1 transduction in EV71-infected cells. Subsequent to 24 h co-transfection with Keap1 and Nrf2 siRNA vectors, Vero and RD cells were infected by EV71 at an MOI of 5. a, b Western blot was used to examine the expression of Keap1, Nrf2, and HO-1 proteins in infected and non-infected cells. c–e qPCR was used to assess the mRNA of Keap1, Nrf2, and HO-1 in infected and non-infected cells. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. Indicated group
