Inhibiting Slc25a5 prevents adipogenic differentiation. Before adipogenic differentiation, OP9 cells were transfected with Slc25a5 siRNA, and 24 h later, the cells were incubated with 1 mM rosiglitazone to induce adipogenic differentiation. A RT–qPCR verified the efficiency of Slc25a5 knockdown in OP9 cells. B Oil Red O staining; scale bar is 200 μm. C Cellular TG levels were measured. D RT–qPCR was performed to assess the expression of the adipogenic factors PPARγ, FABP4, FASN, and C/EBPα. E Western blot of selected subunits of the OXPHOS complexes. F Cellular levels of ATP. Values are the mean ± SEM (n = 3). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01 versus control
