Functional induction of the cystine-glutamate exchanger system Xc(-) activity in SH-SY5Y cells by unconjugated bilirubin.
We have previously reported that exposure of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells to unconjugated bilirubin (UCB) resulted in a marked up-regulation of the mRNA encoding for the Na(+)-independent cystine∶glutamate exchanger System X(c)(-) (SLC7A11 and SLC3A2 genes). In this study we demonstrate that SH-SY5Y...
