Fig. 4

a Immunofluorescence was conducted to visualize the expression of c-Myc in Huh7 cells with ACSL4 knockdown (c-Myc in green; DAPI in blue; scale bar: 50 μm). b Endogenous c-Myc protein levels following transfection (24 h) of 500 and 1000 ng of plasmid expressing pcDNA-ACSL4 in Bel-7402 and PLC/PRF5 cells. c qRT-PCR analysis of c-Myc in ACSL4 knockdown or overexpressed HCC cell lines. GAPDH was selected as the internal control. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3 biological replicates). The data were analyzed using Student’s t-test. NS: not significant. d Effect of protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX, 10 μg/ml) on c-Myc stability in ACSL4-depleted Huh7 cells and ACSL4 overexpressed PLC/PRF5 cells in a time course. The protein expression of ACSL4 and c-Myc was analyzed by western blotting (left) and semi-quantification (right). GAPDH was used as an internal standard.
