Figure Lengend Snippet: ALDH1L2 promotes SCLC chemoresistance by negatively regulating the hyperoxidized PRDX3 and PRDX3 dimer content in the plasma membrane. (A) Immunofluorescence detection of the colocalization of ALDH1L2 and PRDX3 in SCLC cells. The cell nuclei are labeled with blue fluorescence, the ALDH1L2 protein is labeled with green fluorescence, and the PRDX3 protein is labeled with red fluorescence. Scale bar: 20 μm. (B) Coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed the interaction of the ALDH1L2 protein with the PRDX3 protein in chemoresistant SCLC cells. (C) Coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed the interaction of the TRX2 protein with the ALDH1L2 protein and the PRDX3 protein in chemoresistant SCLC cells. (D-E) The reaction of PRDX3 with hydroperoxides was analyzed by immunoblotting. Bar plots show the results of the semiquantitative analysis of the gray values of the protein bands by ImageJ software. (F–H) Analysis of the effect of ALDH1L2 knockdown on the content of hyperoxidized PRDXs protein in each fraction of H69AR and H446DDP cells. The results under no treatment, cisplatin treatment (10 μg/mL for 24 h) and erastin treatment (20 μM for 72 h) are shown in the graph. Bar plots show the results of the semiquantitative analysis of the gray values of the protein bands by ImageJ software. (I) Coimmunoprecipitation assays revealed that hyperoxidized PRDXs protein could be immunoprecipitated by anti-PRDX3 antibody. (J-N) Analysis of the effect of ALDH1L2 knockdown on the content of oxidized PRDX3 dimers in each fraction of H69AR and H446DDP cells. The results under no treatment, cisplatin treatment (10 μg/mL for 24 h) and erastin treatment (20 μM for 72 h) are shown in the graph. LE, long exposure; SE, short exposure. Bar plots show the results of the semiquantitative analysis of the gray values of the protein bands by ImageJ software. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). ns, not significant; ∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01; ∗∗∗, p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗, p < 0.0001.
