Figure 2. Glycolytic response in CD4+ T cells.
a) CD4+ T cells were isolated from age matched WT or GPAT-1 KO mice and stimulated with CD3/CD28 antibodies in complete medium. Cells were harvested and plated onto poly-l lysine coated dishes and basal oxygen consumption rate was analyzed followed by timed injection of oligomycin, FCCP, and rotenone. Each point represents the mean +/− the SEM of five individual mice in triplicate on the plate. The data in a) was used to calculate glycolytic response: b)Basal; c) Coupled respiration following oligomycin treatment; d); Uncoupled respiration following FCCP treatment; e) Following rotenone treatment. Each bar represents the mean +/− SEM of five individual mice in triplicate (for inhibitor addition) or sextuplet (for basal readings), and averaged across three time points. *Significantly different (p<0.05). Significance was determined using two-tailed student’s T- test. N=5.
