Article Title: Adipocyte STAT5 deficiency does not affect blood glucose homeostasis in obese mice

doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0260501

Figure Lengend Snippet: Abundance of total STAT3 and of phosphorylated STAT3 (pSTAT3) normalised to β-actin in epidydimal fat (A) and UCP1 expression normalised to β-actin in the inguinal fat (B) from 23–24 weeks old male mice fed high-fat diet ad libitum which lack STAT5 in their adipocytes ( Stat5 Adipoq / KO) as compared to their wild type controls (WT). No significant differences WT vs Stat5 Adipoq .

Article Snippet: For the detection of STAT3 and phospho-STAT3 Rabbit primary Ab against STAT3 and phospho-STAT3 Tyr705 (#4904 and #9145, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) were used at a dilution of 1:1,000 in TBST, and Mouse primary Ab against β-actin as house-keeping protein (#ab8226, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were used at a dilution of 1:5,000 in TBST.

Article Title: Bacteroides fragilis Enterotoxin Induces Sulfiredoxin-1 Expression in Intestinal Epithelial Cell Lines Through a Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases- and Nrf2-Dependent Pathway, Leading to the Suppression of Apoptosis

doi: 10.3390/ijms21155383

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of Nrf2-inhibition on Srx-1-expression in BFT-exposed HCT 116 cells. ( A ) BFT (300 ng/mL) was added to HCT 116 cells for the indicated periods of time. Nuclear protein expression of phospho-Nrf2 and lamin B was examined by western blot. Positive controls (+) were obtained from cells that were treated with 20 µM of sulforaphane for 2 h. Bottom panel shows densitometric analysis for expressed proteins. Values represent the relative densities of each protein compared with lamin B (mean ± SD, n = 3); ( B ) BFT (300 ng/mL) was added to HCT 116 cells for the indicated periods. Nrf2 DNA binding activity was assessed by EMSA; ( C ) HCT 116 cells were treated with BFT (300 ng/mL) for 6 h and nuclear extracts were obtained. Supershift assays using nuclear extracts were performed using anti-Nrf2 Ab and IgG isotype control Ab; ( D ) HCT 116 cells were treated with BFT (300 ng/mL) for 6 h. Nuclear extracts were added a 100-fold excess of the unlabeled probe (cold probe) or a mutant probe to the reaction, after which radiolabeled probes were added. After then, EMSA was performed identical to ( B ); ( E ) HCT 116 cells were transfected with shRNA against Nrf2 or control RNA. BFT (300 ng/mL) was added to each group for 6 h (phospho-Nrf2, top panels) or 18 h (Srx-1, bottom panels). Nuclear protein expression of phospho-Nrf2 and lamin B was determined by western blot. Concurrently, protein-expression of Srx-1 and actin was also evaluated by western blot; ( F ) HCT 116 cells were transfected with siRNA against Nrf2 or NS-RNA. BFT (300 ng/mL) was added to each group for 6 h (phospho- Nrf2, top panels) or 18 h (Srx-1, bottom panels). Analysis of protein-expression was identical to ( E ). All images are representative of more than three independent experiments.
