Overexpression of SIRT3 enhanced SOD2 expression through the interaction with FoxO3a in NaF-treated TCMK-1 cells. TCMK-1 cells were transfected with SIRT3 expression constructs (WT or N87A) followed by exposure to NaF (3 mM) for 12 h. (a) Mitochondrial fractions were immunoprecipitated with polyclonal antibodies against FoxO3a. Interaction of endogenous SIRT3 and FoxO3a was detected by immunoblotting analysis. (b) The expression of phosphorylated FoxO3a was determined by immunocytochemistry using a fluorescence microscope (magnification, × 100). (c) FoxO3a acetylation at lysine-100 residue was examined using CO-IP analysis. (d) Nuclear location of FoxO3a was measured. (e) Expressions of FoxO3a and SOD2 were examined in mitochondrial fraction. (f) ChIP analysis was used to examine the binding of FoxO3a to the SOD2 promoter. All results are presented as means ± s.d. of at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus scramble group, ##p < 0.01 versus the NaF + scramble group, $$p < 0.01 versus the NaF + SIRT3 group. Full-length blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Figures S15 and 16.
