Fatty acid methyl ester analysis and lipidomic analysis. After myogenic differentiation for 4 days, C2C12 cells transfected with si-NC or si-Apol9a were collected, and cellular fatty acid and lipidomic analyses were performed. (A) Cellular fatty acid profiles were detected through GC-MS following C2C12 differentiation. (B) orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) of lipid profiles in positive ion modes from C2C12 cells with or without Apol9a knockdown. (C) The composition of phosphatidylcholine (PC) (C16:0, C18:0, C18:2) among all lipids. (D) The composition of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (C16:0, C18:0, C18:2, C22:6) among all lipids. (E) The composition of triacylglycerol (TG) (C16:0, C18:0, C18:2) among all lipids. (F) Heatmap showing the differential lipid composition of TGs (C18:0, C18:2). The data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 8, each group). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. si-NC group.
