Fig. 5. Cooperative restoration of FTH1 by isocitrate and fumarate.

Fig. 5

a FTH1 levels by immunoblot on whole cell lysates from human CD34+ progenitors cultured 3 days in iron-replete (100% TSAT) or deficient (10% TSAT) erythroid medium ± 1–5 mM isocitrate (IC) and ±1 mM fumarate (Fum or F). Colored boxes highlight synergy of 3 mM IC with 1 mM Fum. Red: iron restriction with no or single metabolite treatment; green: iron restriction with combined metabolite treatment. Representative results from three independent experiments. b Graph: mean normalized FTH1 signal (±3 mM IC and ±1 mM Fum), relative to value with 100% TSAT. Error bars, SEM; n = 3 biologically independent experiments; *, **, ***P = 0.02, 0.009, 0.0009, one-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc. NS not significant. See also Supplementary Fig. 9.
