Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Seahorse Mito Stress Test kit. Proton leak, spare capacity and non-mito oxygen consumption normalized to confluency of wells, comparing APOE33 and APOE44 iMG. Each dot represents a replicate well. (B) Expression of LDHA across different APOE haplotypes in the donor iMG dataset. Each dot represents an individual line. One way ANOVA, mean ± SEM. (C) Relative abundance of lactate after tracing with [U- 13 C 6 ] glucose. (D) Labeled citrate, malate, glutamate, and aspartate after [U- 13 C 6 ] glucose tracing. Two-way ANOVA, Šídák’s multiple comparisons test, mean ± SEM. (E) TMRE staining and quantification of mean intensity per puncta across APOE33 and APOE44 iMG (n = 3 well x 10 frames per line). Scale bar = 50µm. (F) Total glutathione measured from cell lysates using kit (MedChem, HY-K0311). (G) SOD2, SQOR, and NQO1 protein levels across APOE33 and APOE44 iMG. Unpaired t-test, two-tailed, mean ± SEM, corrected with Benjamini-Hochberg (n = 3 wells each). (H) Expression of ALOX5AP across different APOE haplotypes in the donor iMG dataset. Each dot represents an individual line. One way ANOVA, mean ± SEM. (I) Percentage of ALOX5AP+ microglia in the ROSMAP dataset across different APOE haplotypes and diagnoses. Chi-squared test (CTRL APOE23 n = 13, AD APOE23 n = 6, CTRL APOE33 n = 50, AD APOE33 n = 48, AD APOE44 n = 6). (A, C, E-F) Unpaired t-test, two-tailed, mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001. ns, non-significant
Article Snippet: To exclude the metabolic differences between genetically distinct individuals from the impact of the APOE44 genotype on metabolism, we converted isogenic APOE33 and APOE44 iPSCs (Jackson Laboratory, JIPSC001000, JIPSC001150) into iMG, as previously described ( ) .
