Downregulated RPS-30 plays a defensive role against oxidative stress by regulating ced-3. a Oxidative stress assays using H2O2 in C. elegans N2 strain and rps-30 mutant worms expressing pCe-rps30::Acan-rps-30::rfp. b The expression level of apoptosis genes in homozygous rps-30−/− worm. c The expression level of apoptosis genes in C. elegans N2 worms expressing pCe-rps30::Acan-rps-30::rfp. d Oxidative stress assays using H2O2 in ced-3 mutant worms and worms expressing pCe-rps30::Acan-rps-30::rfp. The worms were counted as described in the Methods section. The error bars indicate standard deviation. Asterisks indicate signficant difference at *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01
