MLN64 overexpression increases mitochondrial cholesterol content in mice liver (A) MLN64 immunoblot. Total liver extracts (50 μg protein/lane) from Ad.E1Δ and Ad.MLN64 mouse livers 48 h after infection, run on 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes. (B) Mitochondria were isolated from Ad.E1Δ and Ad.MLN64 mouse livers 48 h after infection by Percoll density ultracentrifugation. The purity of mitochondria was confirmed by determining the distribution of specific markers such as CoxIV (mitochondria), Lamp1 and cathepsin B (lysosome) using immunoblot analysis. (C) Mitochondrial cholesterol content was quantified in the pure mitochondria fractions using HPLC. * Indicates statistically significant differences (p<0.05). (n Ad.E1Δ=5; n Ad.MLN64=5).
