Figure Lengend Snippet: A-D. Hearts of adult (8-14-week-old) male and female mice of the indicated genotypes were harvested and subjected to total RNA extraction and qPCR for the indicated genes. (A-B) n=9,11 ( Redd1) , n=12,12 ( Pdk1, Pdk2, Pdp1 ), n=10,12 ( Pdk3 ), and n=11,12 ( Pdk4, Pdp2 ), unpaired t test, 2-way ANOVA. (C-D) n=3,3,3,4 ( Redd1, Pdk1, Pdk2, Pdk3, Pdp1, Pdp2 ) and n=3,3,3,3 ( Pdk4 ), 1-way ANOVA, 2-way ANOVA. E-J. Hearts of adult (8-14-week-old) male and female mice of the indicated genotypes were harvested, lysed, and subjected to western blotting with the indicated antibodies. Signals were quantified with densitometry, normalized to total PDH, and plotted. (E-G) n=10,19 (pPDH (Ser293), pPDH (Ser300)), unpaired t test. (H-J) n=5,6 (pPDH (Ser293), pPDH (Ser300)), unpaired t test. Error bars represent SEM. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001. M = marker.
Article Snippet: 2 μg RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems). qPCR was performed using TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (ThermoFisher Scientific) and the QuantStudio 3 Real-Time PCR System (ThermoFisher Scientific) for the following genes: 18S (Mm03928990_g1), Redd1 (Mm00512504_g1), PDK1 (Hs05380290_s1), Pdk1 (Rn00587598_m1), PDK2 (Hs04965351_m1), Pdk2 (Rn00446679_m1), PDK3 (Hs03878443_s1), Pdk3 (Rn01424337_m1), PDK4 (Hs01037712_m1), Pdk4 (Rn00585577_m1), PDP1 (Hs01081518_s1), Pdp1 (Rn01437077_m1), PDP2 (Hs01934174_s1), Pdp2 (Mm02526496_s1), ACSL1 (Hs00960561_m1), or Nppb (Mm01255770_g1).
