Figure 3. Sub-cellular distribution of VCP and iNOS in mouse heart.

Figure 3

(a) Specific markers show the purity of the subcellular fractions: voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) for mitochondria (Mit); glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) for cytosol (Cyto), histone 1 for nucleus (Nu). (b) Representative subcellular distribution of VCP and iNOS in WT and VCP TG mouse hearts. GAPDH was used as a marker to exclude the contamination of cytosal in mitochondrial fraction. (c) Immunoblot of the expression of VCP and iNOS in mitochondrial fraction in TG and WT mouse hearts. VDAC was used as loading control of mitochondria. Negative staining of GAPDH and histone1 confirm the purity of mitochondrial fractions. (d) Ratio of VCP/VDAC and iNOS/VDAC in mitochondria in VCP TG mice compared to WT. n = 7/group. *p < 0.01 vs WT. (e) iNOS activity in isolated mitochondria from mouse hearts. n = 5/group. *p = 0.02 vs WT. Data are the mean ± SEM.
