Figure Lengend Snippet: A H1299 cells were transfected with GFP or GFP-VDAC1 for 18 h and subsequently treated with a control or cysteine-deprived medium for the indicated time. B H1299 cells were co-transfected with CTL or VDAC1 siRNAs along with GFP or GFP-VDAC1 for 24 h. C H1299 cells were transfected with GFP or GFP-VDAC1 for 18 h and subsequently treated with 100 μM NSC15364 or 400 μM DIDS for 12 h. A – C The indicated protein levels were estimated by western blot analysis. Band intensities of GFP-VDAC1 were quantified using Image ( J ), normalized to β-actin intensity, and plotted as a fold change relative to the control. D H1299 cells were transfected with GFP or GFP-VDAC1 for 18 h and subsequently treated with a control or cysteine-deprived medium for the indicated time. E H1299 cells were transfected with Flag or Flag-VDAC1 for 24 h. The indicated mRNA levels were estimated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001). F H1299 cells were transfected with Flag or Flag-VDAC1 for 18 h and subsequently treated with control or cysteine-deprived medium for 9 h. G , H H1299 cells were co-transfected with CTL or VDAC1 siRNAs along with Flag or Flag-VDAC1 for 18 h and subsequently treated with control or cysteine-deprived medium for the indicated time ( H ) or 9 h ( G ). I , J H1299 cells were incubated in a control or cysteine-deprived medium with or without NSC15364 or DIDS for the indicated concentration for 24 h. D , H , I , and J Cell viability was measured by MTT assay ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001). K – N H1299 cells were incubated in a control or cysteine-deprived medium with or without 100 μM NSC15364 or 400 μM DIDS for 12 h. F , G A representative flow cytometry of the average MFI ± SD of C11-BODIPY staining ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001, ns not significantly different). K , L A representative flow cytometry histogram of C11-BODIPY staining (upper panels) and the average MFI ± SD of C11-BODIPY staining (low panels) ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001, ns not significantly different). M , N A representative flow cytometry histogram of MitoPeDPP staining (upper panels) and the average MFI ± SD of MitoPeDPP staining (low panels) ( n = 3; *** p < 0.001, ns not significantly different). CTL control, Cys cysteine, MFI mean fluorescence intensity, NSC NSC15364, SD standard deviation.
