Knockdown of ALDH3A1 induces production of 4-HNE and decreases β-oxidation in gastric cancer cells. (a) Knockdown of ALDH3A1 increases levels of 4-hydroxynonenal in SNU-638 and SK4 gastric cancer cells (as measured by immunocytochemical analysis). Scale bar  S20 μm. (b,c) Seahorse XF analysis of SNU-638 cells treated sequentially with oligomycin, the chemical uncoupler FCCP, and antimycin A/Rotenone (downward arrows) in the presence of linoleic acid-BSA, oleic acid-BSA or BSA. Fatty acid oxidation in ALDH3A1-knockdown cells was lower than that in control cells. (df) ALDH3A1 knockdown in SNU-638 cells reduced oxygen consumption rates and respiratory parameters and oxygen consumption rates were measured with non-lipid substrate. Abbreviations: 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE); 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI); N-Acetylcysteine (NAC); Carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP); Linoleic acid (LIN); Oleic acid (OLE). Data are expressed as the mean and standard deviation of three independent experiments. *p <0.05, **p <0.01, ***p <0.001.
