Knockout of SIRT3 accelerated angiotensin (Ang)-II-induced endothelial dysfunction. (AC). Western blots showing that deficiency of SIRT3 sensitized Ang-II-induced reduction of endothelial glycolytic enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) and glucose transporter1 (GLUT1). Endothelial glycolysis was significantly reduced in the SIRT3KO mice. (n = 3–4/group) * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. Data are means ± S.E.M. (D,E) Western blots revealing that Ang-II infusion resulted in an increase in the expression of p47phox and gp91phox, while Ang-II further increased those in the kidneys of SIRT3KO (n = 3–4/group). * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Data are means ± S.E.M. (F) Dihydroethidium staining showing that SIRT3KO enhanced Ang-II-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation (n = 3/group). *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. Data are means ± S.E.M.
