From: N-acetylcysteine prevents HIV gp 120-related damage of human cultured astrocytes: correlation with glutamine synthase dysfunction

Figure 5

The effect of gp120 on glutamine synthase expression in human cultured astroglial cells. Incubation of astroglial cells with gp 120 (0.1, 1, 10 nM) for 24 hours dose-dependently reduced the GS expression as measured by western blotting analysis. Pre-treatment of 2 hours with NAC (5 mM) antagonized this effect. Blots are representative of 5 experiments. The columns represent the mean ± S.E.M %
