Effect of SDHB and AMPK on aerobic glycolysis in CRC cells. SDHB was overexpressed or knocked down in HT-29 CRC cells. A total of 0.1 mM AICAR (an AMPK activator) and 20 µm/l Compound C (an AMPK inhibitor) were added to cells to activate and inhibit the activity of AMPK, respectively. Intracellular lactic acid levels were assessed using a lactic acid assay kit. *P<0.05 vs. the control group. SDHB, succinate dehydrogenase-B; AMPK, adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase; CRC, colorectal cancer; AICAR, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide; OV, SDHB expression vector; shR, shRNA targeting SDHB; Act, AMPK activator; Inh, AMPK inhibitor.
