Increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is a general response to acute genotoxic stress. (a) Cumulative FAO of tritiated palmitate of a representative control mouse dermal fibroblast (MDF) line (Rep Cont MDF) over the indicated time period after exposure to 0 or 20 J/m2 UV-C; Student’s t-test between treatment groups within time point. (b) Cumulative FAO of tritiated palmitate of two additional UV-C treated control MDF lines expressed relative to untreated at the indicated time point post-irradiation, and of 3 UV-C treated WT human diploid fibroblast (HDF) lines relative to untreated at the indicated time; Student’s t-test. (c) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of FAO-related genes in control MDFs 6 h after exposure to 20 J/m2 UV-C expressed relative to mock irradiated cells; Student’s t-test. (d) Cumulative FAO of tritiated palmitate of three independent MDF and HDF lines exposed to 40 μ mol/l mitomycin C (MMC) expressed relative to untreated at the indicated time point; Student’s t-test. (e,f) Gene expression of FAO-related genes (e) and FAO capacity (f) in liver from 8 week WT mice injected intraperitoneally (IP) with 10 mg/kg MMC or saline and harvested after 24 h (n=4/group); Student’s t-test between treatment groups. (g) FAO capacity of liver from 8 week WT mice injected IP with 100 or 200 mg/kg irinotecan or saline and harvested after 24 h (n=4/group); Student’s t-test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001.
