GP73 Activates SREBPs via Upregulation of SCAP. (a) Immunoblotting analysis of SCAP protein in HepG2 or HL7702 cells transfected with scrambled siRNA or SCAP-specific siRNA duplexes. α-Tubulin was used as equal loading control. (b) Immunoblotting analysis of SREBP1 activation in Flag-vector or Flag-SCAP HepG2 cells transfected with Myc-vector or Myc-GP73. α-Tubulin was used as equal loading control. (c) Immunoblotting analysis of SREBP1 activation in siSCAP knockdown or control HepG2 cells transfected with Flag-vector or Flag-GP73. α-Tubulin was used as equal loading control. (d,e) SREBP-1 promoter activity in siSCAP knockdown or control HL7702 cells and HepG2 cells transfected with Flag-vector or Flag-GP73. The luciferase activity was measured 36 hrs post transfection. Data was normalized based on transfection efficiency. Cell-based studies were performed at least three independent times with comparable results. Numbers below certain Western blots indicate relative levels determined by software-based quantification of the representative experiment shown. Data represent mean ± SEM. Student’s t test was used for statistical analysis: **p < 0.01.
