a Chemical structure of IM. b Dose-response curve of the inhibition of the ETC by IM in the A549 lung carcinoma cell line. Cells were treated with serially diluted IM for 24 h, and the basal OCR was measured using a Sea Horse XF Analyzer. c MEFs and d HFFs were reprogrammed into iPSCs with OSKM reprogramming factors in the presence of 10 nM IM or rotenone. Representative images of AP+ colonies are shown (top). The total number of AP+ colonies was counted on day 14 (D14, MEFs) or day 28 (D28, HFFs) of reprogramming (bottom). e mESCs cultured under the non-self-renewing conditions (−LIF) or self-renewing conditions (+LIF) were treated with 10 nM IM for 4 days. Representative images of AP+ colonies (top) and the total number of AP+ colonies are shown (bottom). f hESCs were maintained under the self-renewing condition (CM). hESCs cultured under non-self-renewing conditions (UM) were treated with 10 nM IM for 6 days. Representative images of AP+ colonies (top) are shown, and the relative AP expression was quantified by scanning densitometry (bottom). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 (Student’s t-test)
