SOD1 suppression induces lipid accumulation. a Quantitative real-time PCR results of mitochondrial metabolism genes in 5-8F cells treated with LCS-1 (3 μM). b Immunoblotting analysis of CPT1A expression in 5-8F and CNE2 cells treated with LCS-1. c SOD1 knockdown by siRNA down-regulated CPT1A expression. d Immunoblotting analysis of CPT1A expression in 5-8F and CNE2 cells transfected with SOD1 or vector. e Western blot analysis of DGAT, AGPAT1 ATGL in 5-8F and CNE2 cells transfected with SOD1 plasmid and shRNA or control for 48 h. f Detection of the influence of LCS-1(3 μM) treatment on the triglyceride content by a triglyceride kit. g Nile red staining detection of the influence of LCS-1(3 μM) or etomoxir (400 μM) treatment on the lipid droplet. Scale bar: 50 μm. All error bars represent the S.D. of three replicates from two independent experiments. * p < 0.05 compared with the control
