AMPK/mTORC1 signaling pathway was activated and act as a checkpoint during ColXV activating adipocytes apoptosis. (A–B) Relative protein phosphorylation levels of AMPKAα1Thr183, AMPKAα2Thr172 and mTORC1Ser2448 in different groups with or without Compound C (C.C) treatment (n = 3). (C–D) Relative protein levels of Caspase-3/Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 in different groups with or without Compound C (C.C) treatment (n = 3). (E–F) Relative protein phosphorylation levels of mTORC1Ser2448 and S6K1Thr389 in different groups with or without rapamycin (Rapa) treatment (n = 3). (G–H) Relative protein levels of Caspase-3/Cleaved Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 in different groups with or without rapamycin (Rapa) treatment (n = 3). (I–J) Tunnel staining of DNA fragments in adipocytes with or without Compound C (C.C) treatment. Scale bar, 100 μm (n = 4). Values are presented as mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.
