Silencing p66Shc expression promotes aerobic glycolysis while reducing mitochondrial ROS production. (A) Immunoblot analysis of extracts from B12 cells transfected with p66Shc specific siRNA. Knockdown of p66Shc expression resulted in elevated levels of PDK1, LDHA and PKM2 in addition to increased phosphorylation of PDH. This effect was also observed in B12 cells with silenced p66Shc expression treated with DOPPA. (B) Densitometric analysis of immunoblots. (C) Mitotracker CMX-ROS (red) staining was significantly decreased in B12 cells with silenced p66Shc expression when compared to control cells. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst stain (blue). Data presented are the mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001).
