Mitochondrial ROS were found to be essential in mediating Nrf2-dependent thermotolerance, because MitoQ treatment prior to exposure to 40 °C reduced Nrf2 levels and dissipated the subsequent protective effect of thermotolerance against toxicity at 42 °C. Our study demonstrates that specific sources of ROS had biologically different implications in activating Nrf2, underlining potential therapeutic targets that may contribute to thermotolerance in anticancer treatments.
