Figure Lengend Snippet: Synthetic lethality of ARID1A and miR-4653-3p is mediated by SLC25A51 and reduced SLC25A51 expression suppressed SIRT3 activity. A Western blot analysis of SLC25A51 expression in HCT116 cells by siRNA silencing. B , C Representative images ( B ) and cell viability ( C ) of HCT116 ARID1A +/+ and ARID1A −/− cell lines after transfected with SLC25A51 siRNA for 72 h. The cell images were taken with Olympus microscope. Scale bars, 100 μm. Cell viability was measured with Image J software. Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. ANOVA * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. D HCT116 ARID1A +/+ and ARID1A −/− cell lines were transfected with SLC25A51 siRNA for 72 h, and the expressions of apoptosis biomarkers (Cleaved PARP and Cleaved caspase 3) were detected by western blot. E Western blot analysis of SLC25A51 in HCT116 cells by overexpressing SLC25A51. F Cell viability of HCT116 ARID1A +/+ and ARID1A −/− cell lines with or without miR-4653-3p mimics and SLC25A51 plasmid transfection was shown. Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. Student’s t-test * P < 0.05. G Mitochondrial NAD + levels in HCT116 cells transfected with SLC25A51 siRNA. Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. Student’s t-test ** P < 0.01. H SIRT3 activity in HCT116 cells transfected with SLC25A51 siRNA. Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. Student’s t-test * P < 0.05. I , J HCT116 cells were transfected with or without SLC25A51 siRNA and SIRT3 overexpression plasmids, and the acetylation levels of SOD2 were analyzed by western blot ( I ). Band intensity quantification for acetylation of SOD2 was performed using ImageJ software, normalized to the total levels of SOD2 ( J ). Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. Student’s t-test *** P < 0.001. K Cell viability of HCT116 ARID1A +/+ and ARID1A −/− cell lines after treated with 3-TYP for 72 h was shown. Error bars represent s.d. from three independent experiments. ANOVA *** P < 0.001
