doi: 10.1016/j.redox.2026.104063

Figure Lengend Snippet: S-nitrosylation of HINT1 aggravates ox-LDL induced foam cell formation through upregulating scavenger receptor A1 and CD36. (A) Representative images and quantification of oil red O staining in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). Scale bar: 50 μm. (B) Representative images and quantification of lipid droplet staining in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). Scale bar: 5 μm. (C) Total cholesterol level in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). (D) Representative images and quantification of Dil-ox-LDL uptake in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without Dil-ox-LDL (40 μg/mL) ( n = 6). Scale bar: 20 μm. (E) Cholesterol efflux to HDL was evaluated in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A and treated with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). (F) Western blot analysis of SR-A1, CD36 and LOX-1 in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). (G) Western blot analysis of SR-B1, ABCA1 and ABCG1 in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). (H) qPCR analysis of SR-A1, CD36 and LOX-1 in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). (I) qPCR analysis of SR-B1, ABCA1 and ABCG1 in HINT1 KO BMDMs transfected with Lenti-WT or Lenti-C84A followed by treatment with or without ox-LDL (100 μg/mL) ( n = 6). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. One-way ANOVA was used in A–C and E–I. Unpaired t -test was used in D.
