Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Representative western blot for SREBP-1 and ACSS2 in mouse colon epithelial cells in response to 24-h MEK inhibition (10 nM trametinib). Results are representative of three similar experiments. (B and C) Quantification of western band intensities in (A) for cleaved SREBP-1 (B) and ACSS2 (C). One-way ANOVA; ns, not significant; * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001. (D) Intracellular cholesterol ester levels in KRAS-mutant cells in response to 24-h MEK inhibition. Data show Cholesterol Ester-Glo luminescence averages from three replicates. One-way ANOVA; ns, not significant; ** p < 0.01, **** p < 0.0001. (E) Intracellular cholesterol ester levels in KRAS mutant; Acss2 KO mouse colon epithelial cells in response to 24-h MEK inhibition. Data show Cholesterol Ester-Glo luminescence averages from three replicates. One-way ANOVA; ns, not significant. (F) Sensitivity of KRAS-mutant mouse colon epithelial cells to ACSS2 inhibition. Data show Cell-Titer Glo luminescence averages, curves were fitted with nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism 9, and extra sum of squares f test was used to compare difference in the logarithmic value of the drug concentration that produces 50% growth inhibition (logIC50). **** p < 0.0001. (G) Sensitivity of KRAS-mutant mouse colon epithelial cells to combined MEK and ACSS2 inhibition. Data show Cell-Titer Glo luminescence averages, curves were fitted with nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism 9, and extra sum of squares f test was used to compare difference in logIC50. **** p < 0.0001. (H) Sensitivity of KRAS-mutant, Acss2 KO mouse colon epithelial cells to MEK inhibition. Data show Cell-Titer Glo luminescence averages, curves were fitted with nonlinear regression in GraphPad Prism 9, and extra sum of squares f test was used to compare difference in logIC50. **** p < 0.0001. (I) EC50 values of trametinib sensitivity for each biological replicate, as calculated in GraphPad Prism, were plotted by mutant and ACSS2 status. One-way ANOVA; ns, not significant; *** p < 0.001.
