Figure Lengend Snippet: Lipid remodeling function of CD5L. (A) Total levels of lipid classes analyzed in mutant and control cells. (B) Proportion of side acyl chains classified according to the extent of their saturation. MUFA: one or two double bonds in a 3-acyl chain lipid or one double bond in a 2-acyl chain lipid. MUFA1: number of double bonds and acyl chains is equal. PUFA2, PUFA3, and PUFA4: number of double bonds is two-, three-, and fourfold higher compared to number of acyl chains in the lipid, respectively. (C) Deletion of CD5L significantly (*** p < 0.001, Mann–Whitney test) increases levels of highly polyunsaturated [PUFA(3,4,5)] fatty acids. (D) CD5L deletion results in an increase of free cholesterol in mutant cells. PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid. (E) Corrected Total Cell Fluorescence (CTCF) values calculated for 10 randomly selected cells for each cell line (* p = 0.014 unpaired two-tailed t -test).
Article Snippet: The primary antibodies against CD5L (mouse monoclonal F1 clone, 1/1,000, sc-514283, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), GAPDH (1/2000, sc-47724, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA USA), RORA (1/1,000 PP-H3910-00, R&D Systems), and the HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (1/5000, #P0447, Dako) were diluted in 0.5× blocking buffer/PBS.
