Article Title: SIRT2-mediated ACSS2 K271 deacetylation suppresses lipogenesis under nutrient stress
doi: 10.7554/eLife.97019
Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Endogenous ACSS2 was stably knocked down with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) in 3T3L1 cells and then wild-type (WT) or K271R mutant of ACSS2 was re-expressed in the knockdown cells to a level that is compatible with endogenous ACSS2. ACSS2 knockdown efficiency and re-expression levels were determined by western blot. ( B ) The cell lysate at days 0 and 7 were collected and ACSS2 level was measured by western blot. ( C, D ) Inhibition of SIRT2 with thiomyristoyllysine (TM) results in increased neutral lipid accumulation in cells expressing ACSS2 WT but not in cells expressing ACSS2 K271R mutant. The differentiation media was supplemented with 1.5 mM acetate. Accumulation of neutral lipids in differentiated adipocytes was measured using Oil Red O. Neutral lipid accumulation is quantified ( C ) by measuring the absorbance of stained neutral lipids at 500 nm on a plate reader. Representative cell imaging is shown in ( D ). Statistical analysis was performed using an unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test, with * indicating p<0.05 and ** indicating p<0.01. Figure 3—source data 1.
