Analysis of 13C-labeled metabolite content derived from [1,2,3-13C3]glucose indicates TGF-β increases glycolysis in PASMCs. (a,b) 13C3- and 13C2-Labeled lactate (M + 3 lactate is derived from glycolysis and M + 2 lactate is derived from pentose shunt metabolism) in the supernatant of (a) control or (b) diseased PASMCs, treated with or without TGF-β. (c,d) 13C3- and 13C2-Labeled lactate in the supernatant of (c) control or (d) diseased PAECs, treated with or without TGF-β. (N = 5 samples per group, from 5 different control and 5 different disease subjects; paired t-test; *P < 0.05).
