Article Title: Targeting VCP with V8 suppresses glioblastoma development via formation of aggregates and disruption of mitophagy flux
doi: 10.1007/s13402-025-01149-3
Figure Lengend Snippet: VCP Dysfunction-induced mitochondrial aggregates initiated mitophagy. ( A ) U87 was treated with 10 μM CCCP, 15 μM V8, and 5 μM NMS873 for 3, 8, 12, 24 h, mitophagy-related proteins on mitochondria were quantified by WB. The indicated protein expression levels were quantified and normalized to COXIV. ( B - F ) The localization of PRKN ( B ), P62 ( C ), LC3 ( D ), BNIP3 ( E ), and TAXIBP1 ( F ) on mitochondria. U87 were transfected with pTagRFP-mito plasmid and then treated with 10 μM CCCP, 15 μM V8, and 5 μM NMS873 for 8 h. ( G ) The translocation of mitophagy-related proteins onto mitochondria. PRKN was knocked down by siRNA in U87 and then treated with 15 μM V8, or 5 μM NMS873 for 8 h. Mitochondrial proteins were extracted and analyzed by WB. The indicated protein expression levels were quantified and normalized to COXIV. ( H ) VCP overexpression inhibited the translocation of mitophagy-related proteins onto mitochondria. U87 and VCP overexpression U87 cells were treated with 15 μM V8, or 5 μM NMS873 for 8 h.The indicated protein expression levels were quantified and normalized to COXIV. The above mitochondrial protein samples derive from the same experiment. Bar, SD. * p < 0.05 or ** p < 0.01. “ns” means not significant (p > 0.05)
