Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Real-time qPCR showing the mRNA expression of BACH1-regulated ETC genes ( NDUFA4 , NDUFA4L2 , NDUFC2 , and COX6B2 ) in scramble and SDCBP-KO MDA-MB-231 cells ( n = 3); See also Appendix Fig. S , . Real-time qPCR showing the mRNA expression of NDUFA4 and COX6B2 in scramble, SDCBP-KO MDA-MB-231 cells, and SDCBP-KO MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with SDCBP ( n = 3). ( C ) Western blots showing the expression of mitochondrial proteins NDUFA4 and COX6B2 in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with SDCBP siRNA in the presence or absence of FLAG-BACH1-expressing vector. ( D ) ChIP-qPCR showing BACH1 enrichments in the promoter regions of NDUFA4 and COX6B2 in the scramble and SDCBP-KO MDA-MB-231 cells. Quantitative data were normalized to IgG binding expression ( n = 3); See also Appendix Fig. S . ( E ) Left, flow cytometry histogram showing the mitochondrial membrane potentials using TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester) staining in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with a scramble or SDCBP siRNA after the indicated treatments. FCCP (trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone). Right, quantification of TMRE fluorescence intensity ( n = 3). ( F ) Left, immunofluorescence staining and confocal imaging of the fluorescent signals for TMRE (orange-red color) in the scramble control and SDCBP-KO MDA-MB-231 cells after incubation with TMRE. DAPI (blue color) was used to stain the nucleus ( n = 7); Representative confocal images are shown; scale bars = 20 µm and 5 µm. Right, fluorescent levels of the TMRE were quantified based on their spectral densities. ( G ) Representative images of immunohistochemistry staining against the NDUFA4, BACH1, and SDCBP proteins showing a negative correlation between the expression of NDUFA4 and SDCBP in the same sections of TNBC tumor tissues. Scale bar = 20 µm. ( H ) Pearson correlation coefficients between SDCBP and NDUFA4 protein expression ( n = 64), and between BACH1 and NDUFA4 protein expression ( n = 60) in Fig. 5G. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and analyzed using two-way ANOVA ( A , D , F ), two-tailed Student’s t test , or one-way ANOVA ( E ). P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. All experiments were repeated at least three times unless otherwise indicated. .

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Cell proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with a scramble or SDCBP siRNA after treatment with metformin for the indicated periods of time ( n = 3). ( B ) Cell viability of MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with a scramble or SDCBP siRNA after treatment with the indicated concentrations of metformin for 96 h ( n = 5). ( C ) Colony formation for MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with a scramble or SDCBP siRNA after treatment with the indicated concentrations of metformin. Colony numbers were counted and converted to percentages by normalizing with the control groups ( n = 3). ( D – F ) Effect of the indicated treatment on 4T1 tumor growth. Tumor growth was monitored in BALB/c mice bearing 4T1 cells after mammary fat-pad injections. When the average tumor volumes reached 100 mm 3 , the mice ( n = 7 mice/group) were administered with 100 mg/kg metformin (once a day) and/or adenoviral SDCBP shRNA (1 × 10 9 PFU/mice). Black arrows indicate the day of adenoviral SDCBP shRNA injection. Final tumor volume ( E ) and weight ( F ) are shown. ( G ) Immunohistochemistry staining against SDCBP, BACH1, Ki67, NDUFA4, and COX6B2 protein in 4T1 tumors from BALB/c mice in Fig. 6A. Representative images of the IHC staining are shown. Scale bar = 50 µm for low (left) and high (right) magnification. Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM and analyzed using two-way ANOVA ( A – C ), one-way ANOVA ( E ), or two-tailed Student’s t test ( F ). P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. All experiments were repeated at least three times unless otherwise indicated. .
