a, 13C-labelled metabolite incorporation in cCAF cultured in DMEM or physiol. DMEM (5 mM glucose, 0.65 mM glutamine, 100 µM pyruvate and 100 µM acetate). b, Acetyl-CoA production/export from mitochondria. c, Unlabelled (black) and 13C-labelled (coloured) acetyl-CoA in 13C-glucose labelled cCAFs with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. d,e, Representative western blot (d) and quantification (e) showing H3K27ac in CAFs with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 4–6 biological replicates. f, Representative western blot of PYCR1 in cCAFs with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control (1 of 3). g, mRNA quantification in cCAFs with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. h, Collagen quantification with 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. i,j, Representative images (j) and quantification (i) of collagen in 2D cCAF/cancer cell cocultures with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. k,l, Representative images (k) and quantification (l) of collagen in 3D cCAF/cancer cell cocultures with BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. m,n, Representative western blot (m) and quantification (n) of COL6A1 in ECM from cCAFs with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. o,p, Proliferation of cancer cells (o) and CAFs (p) in cocultures treated with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control. n = 3 biological replicates. q, Proliferation of cancer cells seeded on ECM from cCAFs treated with 50 μM BMS303141/DMSO control and 1 mM acetate/PBS control. n = 3 biological replicates. Error bars indicate mean ± s.e.m. P values were calculated with two-tailed, unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction (a), two-tailed Mann–Whitney test (o and p), one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparison test (c, g, i, l and n) or Kruskal–Wallis with Dunn’s multiple comparison test (e and q). Scale bar, 200 µm. See Extended Data Fig. 9 for Ponceau S staining of blots used for COL6A1 in ECM, used as loading control.
