Figure Lengend Snippet: a Workflow of shcon and shSort1 adipocytes for mRNA-seq. n = 3 per group. b Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis of global activated pathway in shSort1 adipocytes. c Immunoblots (proteins indicated) in shcon and shSort1 adipocytes. The right panel showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin, AMPK, p38 MAPK or HSL. n = 3 per group. p/T AMPK: phosphorylated AMPK/Total AMPK; p/T p38 MAPK: phosphorylated p38 MAPK/Total p38 MAPK; p/T HSL: phosphorylated HSL/Total HSL. d Immunoblots (proteins indicated) in ingWAT of Sort1 fl/fl and Sort1 adipo KO mice. The right panel showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin, AMPK, p-38 MAPK or HSL. n = 6 per group. e Immunoblots (proteins indicated) in shcon and shSort1 adipocytes incubated with or without AMPK inhibitor CC (10 μM) for 2 h. The lower panel showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin or AMPK. n = 4 per group. f Immunoblots (proteins indicated) of shcon and shSort1 adipocytes that were reverse-transfected with plasmid expressing AMPK-DN or control mock for 24 h. The lower panel showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin or AMPK. n = 4 per group. g , h Immunoblots (proteins indicated) in shcon and shSort1 adipocytes incubated with or without p-38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 (10 μM) ( g ) or SB202190 (5 μM) ( h ) for 2 h. The lower or right panels showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin or p-38 MAPK. n = 4 per group. i Immunoblots (proteins indicated) in shcon and shSort1 adipocytes incubated with or without lipase inhibitor (Atglistatin, ATGL inhibitor 10 μM and CAY10499, HSL inhibitor 20 μM) ( h ) for 2 h. The right panel showed the quantification normalized to α-Tubulin or HSL. n = 4 per group. j The AMP/ATP and ADP/ATP ratio in ingWAT of 8-week-old Sort1 fl/fl and Sort1 adipo KO mice fed chow diet. n = 7 for Sort1 fl/fl group, n = 9 for Sort1 adipo KO group. k Metabolites levels of glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) in ingWAT of 8-week-old Sort1 fl/fl and Sort1 adipo KO mice fed chow diet. n = 7 for Sort1 fl/fl group, n = 9 for Sort1 adipo KO group. Statistical differences were determined by two-tailed Student’s t-test; Data were presented as mean ± SEMs. Source data and uncropped blots are available as a Source Data file.
Article Snippet: For the inhibitors’ treatment, cells were pre-incubated with AMPK inhibitor compound C (CC, 10 μM, no. HY-13418A, MCE); the lipase inhibitors, including ATGL inhibitor Atglistatin (10 μM, no. HY-15859, MCE) and HSL inhibitor CAY10499 (20 μM, no. HY-119283, MCE); p38 MAPK inhibitors SB203580 (10 μM, no. HY-10256, MCE) and SB202190 (5 μM, no. HY-10295, MCE); lysosomal inhibitors NH4Cl (250 μM, no. HY-Y1269, MCE) and chloroquine (20 μM, no.
