SFN promotes the expression of the Slc40a1 iron importer in brain vascular endothelial cells. SFN promotes the transcription of the Slc40a1 iron exporter gene (fold change) as shown by MitoChip array (A1) and RT-PCR analysis (A2). Results were further confirmed through measurements of Slc40a1 protein expression by western blots (B1) and immunofluorescence (B2). Image scale = 100 µm at 40x magnification. N = 3–4 biological replicates per condition (assayed in triplicates). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ****p < 0.0001, vs. controls. Blots of Slc40a1 and β-actin were taken from different gels.
