Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression levels of DDIT4, mTOR, GLUT4, PI3K, and AKT in DDIT4-siRNA-treated IR C2C12 cells. (A) DDIT4-siRNA-1 had the most significant silencing effect. (B) Protein expression levels of DDIT4, mTOR, GLUT4, PI3K, and AKT after DDIT4-siRNA treatment. (C) Semi-quantification of p-protein/t-protein ratios for mTOR, PI3K, and AKT and protein expression levels of DDIT4 and GLUT4 after DDIT4-siRNA treatment. (D) Glucose levels in culture medium after DDIT4-siRNA treatment. (E) TG levels of C2C12 cells after DDIT4-siRNA treatment. Data are presented as the mean ± SD (n=3). * P<0.05 vs. the CON group; # P<0.05 vs. the PA group; & P<0.05 vs. the PA + RSV group. DDIT4, DNA-damage-inducible transcript 4; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; GLUT4, glucose transporter 4; PI3K, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; AKT, protein kinase B; siRNA, small interfering RNA; IR, insulin resistance; p-, phosphorylated; t-, total; TG, triglyceride; CON, control; PA, palmitic acid; RSV, resveratrol.
Article Snippet: The C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line (cat. no. CL-0044; Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) was cultured in culture medium (cat. no. CM-0044 Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd.) until the cells reached 70-80% confluence.
