expression levels of L-xylulose reductase and its mRNA in the T lymphoma cells are markedly enhanced after the exposure to 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, and the induction is completely abolished by the ROS scavengers. L-Xylulose reductase is upregulated in the earlier step of the apoptosis and deteriorates the apoptotic signaling through the generation of ROS by the redox cycling of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone
