Figure 5

The effect of nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) overexpression or knockdown in SSEA1+ tumor-initiating cells is shown. Mitochondria were fractionated from retroviral NNT-overexpressed or siNNT-transfected U373MG SSEA1+ cells, and (a) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels and (b) SIRT3 enzyme activity were determined at 3 days after treatment. (c) Lactate production was examined in the total lysate in each condition. (d) Each condition at 3 days after culture, the oxygen consumption was measured in over 80 min using an oxygen probe and (e) the ATP concentration in cells of each group was determined. (f) Immunocytochemistry of each condition was fixed at 7 days after treatment. Antibodies used in each condition are shown on the left. 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining (blue) was used to identify nuclei.
