Figure Lengend Snippet: Regulation of ORMDLs stability in human RPE‐1 cells and mouse BMMCs. (A) Levels of ORMDLs, SPTLC1, SPTLC2, and total d18:1 ceramides (measured by LC‐ESI‐MS/MS) were assessed in human RPE‐1 cells and mouse BMMCs after 24‐h treatment with 10 μM myriocin or 10 μM FB 1 , and compared with untreated controls. (B) Quantification of ORMDLs, SPTLC1, SPTLC2, and the LC3‐II/LC3‐I ratio was performed in untreated RPE‐1 cells and BMMCs, and compared with cells treated for 24 h with 50 μM CQ or 10 μM MG132, as determined by immunoblotting. (C) Effects of p97/VCP inhibition by CB‐5083 on ORMDLs, SPTLC1, SPTLC2, the LC3‐II/LC3‐I ratio, ATF4, and p62 levels were assessed in RPE‐1 cells and BMMCs. Protein levels in (A‐C) were normalized to total protein loading using Ponceau S staining. Data are presented as geometric mean ± GSEM ( N = 4). Statistical analysis was performed using one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. Significance levels: p < 0.05 (*), p < 0.01 (**), p < 0.001 (***), p < 0.0001 (****); n.s., not significant.
