A SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells transfected with overexpressed MLXIPL plasmids or MLXIPL siRNAs were cultured for 24 h for glucose uptake assays. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. B Analysis of the production of lactate in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 after transfected with overexpressed MLXIPL plasmids or MLXIPL siRNAs. *P < 0.05. C The transfected cells were lysed and the cytoplasmic levels of pyruvate were detected. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. D The overall glycolytic flux of transfected SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells was analyzed by ECAR using seahorse instrument. E, F Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot were performed to analyze the levels changes of glycolytic key enzymes, when transfected with overexpressed MLXIPL plasmids in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells. ns P > 0.05; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
