Fig. 4From: Fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma cells respond to asparagine by activation of the unfolded protein response and stimulation of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway13C enrichments from Asp and Gln in uridine nucleotides. Nucleotides for UOK262WT (WT) and UOK252FH−/− (KO) under different conditions were quantified by IC-MS as described in the “Methods” section. An unpaired two-tailed t test was used for statistical comparisons. a Total uridine in μmole/g. UOK262 + Gln + Asn versus +Gln-Asn p = 0.148; + Gln + Asn versus –Gln + Asn p = 0.422. b, c, d13C fractional enrichment from 13C/15N Asn and 13C/15N glutamine in uridine, uridine monophosphate, and uridine diphosphate, respectively. Cx_Ny are isotopologues that contain x13C and y15N atoms. Upper: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn alone and for 13C15N Gln alone. WT 13C15N Asn, KO 13C15N Asn, WT 13C15N Gln, KO 13C15N Gln. Lower: WT versus KO for 13C15N Asn with 12C14N (unlabeled) Gln and for 12C14N (unlabeled) Asn + 13C15N Gln. WT 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, KO 13C15N Asn plus 12C14N Gln, WT 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N Gln, KO 12C14N Asn plus 13C15N GlnBack to article page
