(A-D) HBEC cells treated with 3 μM of pioglitazone (P) or troglitazone (T) for 24 hours and followed by QPCR assay for mRNA expression of metabolic genes involved in lipid synthesis (A), lipid uptake (B), triglyceride metabolism (C) and β-oxidation (D). (E) Gene expression involved in lipid metabolism in various lung cell lines. Included are five lung cancer cell lines involving A549, H3255 Calu6, H1993, and H2347. During culture in the media supplemented with 5% NS or 5% CS, all cell lines were treated with pioglitazone 30 μM for 24 hours and followed by QPCR assay to profile mRNA expression of metabolic genes involved in lipid metabolism. Values are mean ± S.E.M. Statistical was analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA (Tukey’s post-tests). * p < 0.05; # p < 0.01; Δ p < 0.001.
