Figure Lengend Snippet: iSGLT2 impairs energetic state and modulates SIRT3 levels in CRC. Evaluation of ( A ) GSH/GSSG ratio and ( B ) ATP production coupled respiration, ( C ) maximal and ( D ) basal respiration, and ( E ) coupling efficiency assessed by Seahorse analyzer and ( F ) SIRT3 activity, ( G ) content evaluated by ELISA kit, ( H ) mRNA expression and ( I ) immunoblotting analysis with cropped blots in HCT 116 cells treated with 50 µM iSGLT2 for 72 h (iSGLT2). Control cells (Ctr) were maintained in complete culture medium with the corresponding volume of HBSS-10 mM Hepes. M = molecular weight markers, lane 1 = Ctr, lane 2 = iSGLT2. Western blotting is expressed as arbitrary units (AU), mRNA levels are reported as floating bars with a line representing the median ± SD of n = 3 independent experiments. † p < 0.01 vs. Ctr; ‡ p < 0.001 vs. Ctr, by unpaired Student’s t -test
