Figure Lengend Snippet: a , b Following H/R treatment, TCMK1 cells showed increased nuclear accumulation of ASS1, which was predominantly in a deSUMOylation form, as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation of nuclear fractions. c , d Nuclear ASS1 levels in TCMK1 cells transfected with control (NC) or SENP3-targeting siRNA after H/R. e , f Nuclear ASS1 expression in TCMK1 cells transduced with lentivirus encoding wild-type SENP3 (SENP3-WT) or catalytically inactive SENP3-C526S after H/R. The SENP3-C526S mutant failed to promote ASS1 nuclear accumulation. g Immunofluorescence staining further confirmed that the nuclear translocation of ASS1 induced by H/R was dependent on SENP3 activity. Scale bar, 20 μm. Data: mean ± SEM (n = 3) . ns, not significance. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Pharmacological inhibition was performed with the ASS1 inhibitor α-Methyl-DL-aspartic acid (MDLA, 20 mM, 24 h; MCE, HY-W142119).
