(a) Experimental plan for Seahorse mitochondrial stress tests shown through c-h. (b) Representative IB for FLAG in NIH3T3 cells expressing the indicated FLAG-tagged NDRG1 wild type (WT) or FLAG-tagged Ser/Thr>Ala mutant of NDRG1 (n = 3 independent experiments). (c) Seahorse mitochondrial stress test in serum-deprived NIH3T3 cells expressing FLAG-tagged BNIP3 WT or FLAG-tagged Ser79Ala or Ser88Ala mutant BNIP3 in presence of 0.25 mM OA, followed by sequential addition of oligomycin (O), FCCP (F), and rotenone + antimycin (R + A) to assess mitochondrial respiratory function (n = 5 independent experiments). (d-f) Seahorse mitochondrial stress tests in NIH3T3 cells expressing the indicated FLAG-tagged NDRG1 WT or Ser/Thr>Ala or Ser/Thr>Asp mutant of NDRG1. Quantifications for mitochondrial respiratory function in cells expressing (g) FLAG-tagged NDRG1 WT or Ser/Thr>Ala mutants of NDRG1, or (h) FLAG-tagged NDRG1 WT or Ser336Ala and Ser336Asp mutants of NDRG1 are shown. For d-h (n = 5 independent experiments). (i) Cartoon depicting experimental plan for confocal microscopy performed in j and k. Representative blots for NDRG1 in siCon and siNdrg1 NIH3T3 cells are shown in i, right (n = 5 independent experiments). (j) MitoTracker CMXRos red fluorescence in siCon or siNdrg1 cells (siCon 58 cells and siNdrg1 62 cells from n = 3 independent experiments). (k) MitoTracker CMXRos red fluorescence in FLAG (green fluorescence)-tagged WT or phosphorylation-deficient mutants of NDRG1 (NDRG1WT 37 cells, NDRG1Thr328Ala 34 cells, NDRG1Ser332Ala 32 cells, and NDRG1Ser336Ala 33 cells from n = 4 independent experiments). Ponceau is loading control. For c-f, values are mean ± SEM. For g, h, j and k, individual replicates and means are shown. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001, One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test (g, h and k); two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test (j).
