Induction of PEPCK expression by AG-205 was suppressed by adenylate cyclase inhibition. (A) Western blot analysis and quantification of PGRMC1 and PEPCK in Control versus MDL-12,330A, AG-205, AG-205 + MDL-12,330A group. β-actin was used as an internal control. Values represent means ± SD. *p < 0.05 versus control. #p < 0.05 versus AG-205 group. (B) Cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels after 24 h incubation in low glucose medium (50 mg/dl, w/o FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, 100 nM dexamethasone). MDL-12,330A (MDL, 2 µM) was treated for 2 h before harvest. Data were normalized to control. Values represent means ± SD. *p < 0.05 versus control. #p < 0.05 versus AG-205 group. (C) Illustration of PGRMC1-gluconeogenesis mechanism in Hep3B cell. All experiments were repeated at least 3 times.
