Figure Lengend Snippet: Use of double knockout of LDLR and SR-B1 shows some rescue to LDL-DHA treatment. ( A ) Use of an SR-B1 antibody to inhibit LDL-DiI-OA Uptake in wild-type LDLR Knockout MDA-MB-231s. Cells were treated under serum-starved conditions, then were given a 1-hour pretreatment of an SR-B1 antibody or mock antibody treatment. Continued cotreatment with LDL-DiI-OA was then performed for 6 hours. Cells were then harvested, and DiI fluorescence was measured by FACS. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical analysis was done by a paired Student's T -test with pairs comprising of same cell experimental replicates. ( B ) Protein expression of LDLR and SR-B1 in Wild Type, LDLR-/-, shSR-B1, and LDLR-/- shSR-B1 MDA-MB-231 cells. ( C ) LDL-DiI-OA uptake in MDA-MB-231, LDLR-/- and LDLR-/- shSR-B1. ( D ) Confocal image of MDA-MB-231 LDLR-/- -shSR-B1 cells 2 hours following incubation with LDL-DiI-OA. ( E ) Dose response to a 1-, 3-, 6-, and 24-hour pulse of LDL-DHA. After each pulse (with the exception of 24 hours) the media was changed, and the cell viability was read out at 24 hours. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM. Ψ, P= 0.06, *, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001 and ****, P<0.0001. Western Blot Molecular weights: LDLR (Upper 140 kD, Lower 92 kD); SR-B1 (82kD); and actin (42 kD).
