A Expression of p53-pathway genes involved in pro-apoptosis, anti-apoptosis, intrinsic apoptosis and ferroptosis in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. (Unpaired t-tests). B Apoptotic cells in response to the apoptosis-inducing agent Camptothecin in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. (Two-way ANOVA, genotype p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 349.3, treatment p < 0.0001 F(2,12) = 270.4, interaction p < 0.0001 F(2,12) = 149.5, significant Tukey’s multiple comparisons shown). C Cell viability in response to the ferroptosis-inducing agent RSL3 in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. (Two-way ANOVA, genotype p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 1645, treatment p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 36.09, interaction p < 0.0090 F(1,12) = 9.665, significant Tukey’s multiple comparisons shown). D Cell viability in response to palmitate in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts (Two-way ANOVA, genotype p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 3374, treatment p < 0.0001 F(2,12) = 1012, interaction p < 0.0001 F(2,12) = 684.8, significant Tukey’s multiple comparisons shown). E Apoptotic cells in response to palmitate in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. (Two-way ANOVA, genotype p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 1468, treatment p = 0.0001 F(2,12) = 20.35, interaction p < 0.0050 F(2,12) = 8.498, significant Tukey’s multiple comparisons shown). F Western blots of full-length (FL) and cleaved (CL) caspase 3 and 9 in response to increasing palmitate concentrations in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. G Lipid peroxidation in response to palmitate (Two-way ANOVA, genotype p < 0.0001 F(1,12) = 313.4, treatment p < 0.0103 F(2,12) = 67.31, significant Tukey’s multiple comparisons shown) in Control and HDAC4 and 5 overexpressing C2C12 myoblasts. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 3–4 biological replicates per group.
