SDHB-overexpressing cells deregulates bioenergetic metabolism. (A) ATP assay of SDHB-overexpressing cells. Total extracts were prepared from cells as indicated, and an ATP assay was performed using the ATP Bioluminescence Assay Kit CLSII. (B and C) Δψm assay of SDHB-overexpressing cells. Cells were stained with Rhodamine123 and TMRM and analyzed using a flow cytometer. (D,E) ROS assay of SDHB-overexpressing cells. Cells as indicated were treated with CM-H2DCFDA and DCF and subsequently analyzed using a flow cytometer. (F) Glucose uptake assay of SDHB-overexpressing cells. Cells as indicated were loaded with 2-NBDG and then analyzed using a flow cytometer. (G) LDH activity assay of SDHB-overexpressing cells. Total extracts were prepared from cells and subjected to a LDH activity analysis using a CytoTox 96® Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay. (H) Color change and pH measurement of the conditioned media cultured with SDHB-overexpressing cells. Cells as indicated were cultured until confluent and then incubated in fresh media for 24 h. The color and pH of the conditioned media were imaged and measured. The *, ** and *** represented P-value < 0.05, <0.01 and <0.005, respectively.
