Figure Lengend Snippet: A) Western blot images showing protein expression of SDHA, SDHB and beta actin in SDHA and SDHB knockdown HT29 cells via constitutive shRNA expression. B) Representative crystal violet staining of HT29 SDHA and SDHC knockdown cells from A) 14 days post copper sulphate (100μM) + elesclomol (Cu-Es), C) hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and D) 5-fluoroUracil (5FU) at indicated concentrations. E) Heatmap representation of relative colony count from B). F) Representative crystal violet staining images 14 days post FAC (at indicated concentrations), dimethyl succinate, dimethyl malonate, and diethyl malonate. G) Representative crystal violet staining image of NDUSF1 and 2 knockdown cells 14 days post FAC treatment (0.25, 0.5mM) with or without SA (250μM) or heme (10μM).
Article Snippet: After lysis solubilized proteins were resolved on 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to PVDF membrane, blocked with 5% milk in TBST and probed overnight with indicated primary antibodies diluted at 1:1000 in the blocking buffer for GPX4 (Proteintech, 67763-1-Ig), FTH1 (Cell Signaling,3998S), UROD (Santa Cruz, SC-365297), FECH (Proteintech, 14466-1-AP), SDHA (Cell Signaling, 11998), SDHB (Proteintech, 10620-1-AP), SDHC (Proteintech, 14575-AP), β-actin (Proteintech 66009-1-Ig).
