From: Quantitative analysis of acetyl-CoA production in hypoxic cancer cells reveals substantial contribution from acetate

Figure 4

The main additional AcCoA source in hypoxia is acetate. (A) Percentage 13C2-acetyl-CoA labeling quantified from palmitate labeling in hypoxic (1% O2) and normoxic MDA-MB-468 cells grown in medium with U-13C-glucose and U-13C-glutamine and additionally supplemented with indicated concentrations of U-13C-acetate. (B) Acetate concentrations in fresh 10% DFBS, DMEM, and DMEM with 10% DFBS. (C) Percentage 13C2-acetyl-CoA labeling for hypoxic (1% O2) HeLa and A549 cells. For (A) and (C), data are means ± SD of n ≥ 2. For (B), data are means ± SEM of n = 3.
