Figure 5From: Acidosis induces reprogramming of cellular metabolism to mitigate oxidative stressRegulation of the metabolic response to acidosis by p53. (A) Protein levels of p53 under control, lactosis, acidosis (HCl) and lactic acidosis (LA). (B-D) Relative mRNA expression of p21, p53 and MDM2 genes in the shControl or shP53 MCF-7 cells under control or acidosis conditions. (C) Relative mRNA expression and protein levels of GLS2 in shControl or shP53 MCF-7 cells under control or acidosis conditions. (D) Relative ATP levels in shControl or shp53 cells under lactic acidosis (LA) with (+) or without (-) glutamine. (E) Relative mRNA expression and protein levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in shControl or shP53 MCF-7 cells under control or acidosis conditions. (F-H) Relative NADP+/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) ratio (F), normalized ROS levels (G), and normalized cell numbers (H) in shControl or shP53 MCF-7 cells under control or acidosis conditions. Error bars are mean ± SEM, P values as indicated (*P ≤0.05, **P ≤0.001, ***P ≤0.0001).Back to article page
