Figure Lengend Snippet: Lipid secretion in A549 cells during long-term cultivation. A549 cells were cultured for 4, 7, 10, 15, and 25 days in low-glucose DMEM or low-glucose Ham’s F-12 medium. ( A ) Total cellular protein per dish as an indicator of culture expansion (cell accumulation). ( B ) Secretion of total lipids into the culture medium, assessed using [ 14 C]-acetate labeling. ( C ) Secretion of phospholipids and sphingolipids into the medium, quantified based on inorganic phosphate content (Pi). ( D ) Secretion of phosphatidylcholine (PC) into the medium, measured by mass spectrometry. ( A – D ) Data represent mean ± SD from at least three independent experiments (individual points shown). Values were normalized to mL of medium and mg of cellular protein, and additionally expressed relative to 4-day cultures in DMEM (left panels) or to 4-day cultures in the respective medium over time (right panels). Statistically significant differences between media (DMEM vs. Ham’s F-12; left panels) or between prolonged cultures and 4-day cultures (right panels) are indicated: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. RI, radioactivity.
