Figure Lengend Snippet: CD47-blocking antibody promotes skeletal muscle AMPK activation and improves mitochondrial function (A) AMPK phosphorylation in skeletal muscle, WAT, BAT, liver, hypothalamus (Hypo), and kidney ( n = 6). (B) ACC phosphorylation in skeletal muscle after antibody injection. GAPDH as control. (C) PGC-1α protein levels in skeletal muscle post-injection. GAPDH as control. (D) Western blot analysis of AMPK, ACC phosphorylation, and PGC-1α in skeletal muscle of mice injected with CD47 Ab (20 mg/kg), Cont (20 mg/kg), and AMPK inhibitor (Compound C, 10 mg/kg) ( n = 3). (E and F) AMPK phosphorylation and cytochrome c (cyto c) protein expression in myotubes after antibody treatment. GAPDH as control. (G) Seahorse mitochondrial stress test in myotubes treated with CD47 Ab. (H–K) AMPK, ACC phosphorylation, and PGC-1α expression in myotubes with Cd47 knockdown or overexpression. (L) Seahorse mitochondrial stress test in myotubes with Cd47 knockdown. Data are presented as means ± SEM and analyzed by two-tailed Student’s t test (A and G) and two-way repeated measures (RM) ANOVA (D and L). ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001; ns, not significant.
Article Snippet: Milk (5%) in TBST was used to block members for 1 h at room temperature, then the members were washed with TBST three times (5 min each time) and incubated with primary antibodies against P-AMPK (Thr172, 2535), AMPK (2532), P-HSP90α (Thr5/7, 3488), P-ACC (3661), ACC (3676), p-DNA-PK (Ser2056, 68716), COXIV (4850), cyto C (4280), Acetylated-Lysine (9814) (Cell Signaling Technology Inc.), SIRT1 (04-1557, Millipore), PGC-1α (ab54481, Abcam), HSP90α (A5006, ABclonal), DNA-PK (ab70250, Abcam), AMPKγ3 (A14132, ABclonal), AMPKγ1 (A22024, ABclonal), CD47 (AF1866-SP, R&D systems), and GAPDH (AB0037, Abways) in 5% BSA at 4°C overnight.
