Trichomonas vaginalis-induced ROS-dependent ER stress response in SiHa cells. SiHa cells were pretreated with various concentrations of NAC for 2 h and subsequently infected with T. vaginalis at MOI 5 for 6 h. a The ER stress-related protein levels were assessed using western blotting analysis. Anti-β-actin was used as a loading control. b Representative images obtained by confocal fluorescence microscopy stained with CHOP antibody. The data shown are representative of three independent experiments with similar results. Scale bars: 10 µm
