Figure Lengend Snippet: FTH Sustains Hepatic G6Pase in Response to Systemic Polymicrobial Infection (A) Volcano plot of mean RNA expression from RNA microarray screen in the liver of Mx1 Cre Fth Δ/Δ versus Fth lox/lox mice, 48 hr after CLP (n = 4 mice per group). (B) Validation of G6pc1 mRNA expression by qRT-PCR in the liver of Mx1 Cre Fth Δ/Δ mice not subjected to CLP (n = 13), 48 hr after CLP (n = 12) versus Fth lox/lox mice not subjected to CLP (n = 11), or 48 hr after CLP (n = 11). Data pooled from three independent experiments. (C and D) Representative western blot of G6pc1 in Mx1 Cre Fth Δ/Δ versus Fth lox/lox mice (C) and relative quantification by densitometry (D) before (Control; Ctr) or 48 hr after CLP (n = 6 per group). (E) Quantification of liver Gpt1 mRNA by qRT-PCR, same mice as (B). (F) Liver G6Pase enzymatic activity, same mice as (B). (G) Quantification of G6PC1 mRNA levels by qRT-PCR in HepG2 cells untreated (−) or treated (+) with heme and/or TNF. Mean ± SEM from eight independent experiments with similar trend. (H) G6PC1 protein levels in HepG2 cells treated as in (G). (I) Relative quantification G6PC1 protein levels by densitometry of western blot from HepG2 cells treated as in (G) and (H). (J) Relative luciferase units (RLU) in HepG2 cells transiently co-transfected with a rat G6pc1 firefly luciferase and CMV Renilla luciferase reporters. Control cells were transfected with a promoterless firefly luciferase reporter. Cells were treated, 48 hr after transfection, with heme and TNF. Data are shown as mean RLU ± SD from four independent experiments with similar trend. (K) Liver mRNA quantification by qRT-PCR in C57BL/6 mice receiving heme (+; n = 8) (i.p. 30 mg/kg BW) or not (−; n = 9). Data pooled from three independent experiments. (L) Liver mRNA quantification by qRT-PCR in Mx1 Cre Fth Δ/Δ versus Fth lox/lox mice receiving heme (+; i.p. 15 mg/kg BW; n = 3 per genotype) or not (−; n = 6–8 per genotype). Data pooled from one to three independent experiments. (M) Relative luciferase units (RLU) in HepG2 cells transiently co-transfected with a rat G6pc1 firefly luciferase and a CMV Renilla luciferase reporters plus a human FTH expression vector. Cells transfected with a promoterless firefly luciferase reporter were used as baseline RLU. Transfected cells were treated 48 hr thereafter with heme and TNF and analyzed 12 hr thereafter. Data shown as mean RLU ± SD from five independent experiments with similar trend. Red bars in (B), (D)–(F), (J), and (K) represent mean values and doted circles indicate individual mice. ∗ p < 0.05; ∗∗ p < 0.01; ∗∗∗ p < 0.01. See also Figure S6 .
