ME2 promotes lipogenesis reprogramming in glioma cells. (A) Gene expression heat maps showing expression of ME2, ACLY, and ACSS2 in different gliomas. (B) Localization of SREBP-1 in U251MG cells observed by immunofluorescence staining. (C, D) Relative changes in citrate and pyruvate concentration (C) in SW1783 and U251MG cells and in (D) LN229 and U87MG cells transfected with various plasmids (*P < 0.05). (E, F) Changes in expression of proteins including p-AMPK, AMPK, pro-SREBP-1, M-SREBP-1, ACLY, and ACSS2 in (E) SW1783 and U251MG cells and in (F) U87MG and LN229 cells transfected with various plasmids. (G) Mechanistic diagram of the role of ME2 in GBM.
