Article Title: APOC1 promotes the progression of osteosarcoma by binding to MTCH2
doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.11862
Figure Lengend Snippet: APOC1 silencing promotes oxidative phosphorylation and inhibits the Warburg effect of osteosarcoma cells by regulating MTCH2 expression. (A) OCR of SAOS-2 cells was detected using the Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test kit. (B) ECAR was assessed using the Seahorse XF Glycolysis Stress Test kit. (C) Lactate production was tested using lactate assay kit. Corresponding commercially available kits were used to measure the activity of (D) HK, (E) PFK and (F) PK. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs. sh-NC; # P<0.05, ## P<0.01, ### P<0.001 vs. sh-APOC1 + Oe-NC. APOC1, apolipoprotein C1; MTCH2, mitochondrial carrier homolog 2; OCR, O 2 consumption rate; ECAR, extracellular acidification rate; HK, hexokinase; PFK, phosphofructokinase; PK, pyruvate kinase; sh, short hairpin; NC, negative control; Oe, overexpression.
Article Snippet: For transfection, short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting APOC1 (sh-APOC1-1, 5'-TTCAGAAAGTGAAGGAGAAAC-3' and sh-APOC1-2, 5'-GTCTCCAGTGCCTTGGATAAG-3'), corresponding negative control (sh-NC, 5'-UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3'), MTCH2 pcDNA3.1 plasmid (Oe-MTCH2; cat. no. NM_001317231.2) and the empty vector control (Oe-NC) were supplied by Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd. SAOS-2 cells were cultured in 6-well plates to 70% confluence at 37 ̊C.
