Bioenergetics of the Hs578T and Hs578Ts(i)8 cell variants. (a,b) There is a significant decrease in the rate of basal oxygen consumption (OCR) in the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells compared to the Hs578T cells. Addition of oligomycin A resulted in a significant decrease in the OCR of the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells and thus a significant difference in the OCR between the Hs578Ts(i)8 and Hs578T variants. Following addition of FCCP, OCR significantly increased in the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells. Finally, upon addition of rotenone, oxygen consumption was decreased substantially, a significant decrease from Hs578Ts(i)8 cells’ maximal OCR. (c,d) A significant increase in the basal rate of glycolysis was observed in the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells compared to the Hs578T cells. Following oligomycin A addition, the ECAR increased significantly in the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells compared to the Hs578T cells. Finally, following addition of 2-DG the ECAR decreased substantially in the Hs578Ts(i)8 and Hs578T cells. (e) The ratio of the basal and maximal OCR and ECAR is shown, this indicates that the OCR/ECAR ratios were significantly decreased in the Hs578Ts(i)8 cells compared to the parental Hs578T cells. Data is expressed as the mean ± SEM of n = 3 experiments, where **/##p < 0.01, ***/###p < 0.001, *Hs578Ts(i)8 vs Hs578T vs, #Hs578T vs Hs578T.
