doi: 10.1101/2023.06.12.544652
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Abundance of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) protein in liver. AL – ad libitum feeding; TRF – time-restricted feeding. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001, n=4. (B) mRNA levels of FGF isoforms in WT (Alfp- and Hsa-Cre+) liver, n=3. ZT – zeitgeber time; ZT0 = lights on, ZT12 = lights off. (C) Western blot for FGF1 in liver at the indicated diurnal time points. Biological replicates are shown (bottom) and quantified (top). One-way ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD test, *p<0.05, ** p<0.01, n=3. Liver-RE = Bmal1 stopFL/stopFL ; Alfp -Cre tg/0 , hepatocyte-specific reconstitution of Bmal1 . (D and E) Knockdown or overexpression of Fgf1 in AML12 hepatocytes. si-Ctrl = scrambled sequence; si-Fgf1 #1 and #2 both target Fgf1 but by different sequences. pCMV6-Empty = control vector without Fgf1 open reading frame clone. Left, qPCR, Student’s t-test, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, n=3. Middle, oxygen consumption rate in AML12 hepatocytes. Arrow indicates application of 0.5 uM carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) and 1 uM oligomycin. Right, quantification of middle. Basal and stressed values are averages of data points before and after drug application, respectively. Two-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post-hoc test, * p<0.05, ** p<0.01, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001, ns – not significant, n=5-6. (F) mRNA levels of Fgf receptor (FGFR) isoforms in WT (Alfp- and Hsa-Cre+) liver. (G) Measurement of oxygen consumption rate as in D and E. AML12 cells were treated for 24 h with vehicle control (Veh) or the indicated concentration of the pan FGFR inhibitor AZD4547. Two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test, * p<0.05, *** p<0.001, **** p<0.0001, ns – not significant, n=5-6.
Article Snippet: For overexpression experiments, cells were transfected with 100 ng Fgf1 (NM_010197) Mouse Tagged ORF Clone (ORIGENE, MR201152) or control empty vector using Lipofectamine 3000 Transfection Reagent (Invitrogen, #L3000001) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
