Figure Lengend Snippet: HCT116 cells are CLNS1A-independent until PRMT5 activity is decreased (A) Western blot analyses of HA (CLNSIA), SDMA (methyl-SmB), and HSP90 as loading control in HCT116 dTag-CLNS1A #1 ( Left ) and #2 ( Right ) maintained in 1 μM dTag-13 for the indicated number of days. (B) Representative Western blot analysis of CLNS1A, SDMA (methyl-SmB), and loading control GAPDH levels in HCT116 sgCtrl and four sgCLNS1A clones ( n = 4 biological replicates). (C) Relative proliferation of HCT116 sgCtrl and four sgCLNS1A clones through analyses of cumulative population doubling over a 6-day period. Data represent mean ± SD of 10 technical replicates. (D) Relative viability of HCT116 sgCtrl and indicated sgCLNS1A clones treated with the PRMT5i JNJ-64619178 for 6 days. Data represent mean ± SD of 3 technical replicates. (E–G) HCT116 parental or two dTag-CLNS1A clones treated with or without 1μM dTag-13 in combination with the indicated concentrations of JNJ-64619178 (PRMT5i). (E) Relative viability was assessed after treatment for 6 days. Data represent mean ± SD of 3 technical replicates. Red markings correspond to the critical PRMT5i doses used in F and 5G. (F) Western blot analyses of HA (CLNS1A), SDMA, and loading control HSP90 after treatment with the critical indicated PRMT5i doses for 3 days (G) Relative levels of a representative DI in EIF4E were assessed by qRT-PCR after treatment with the critical indicated PRMT5i doses for 3 days. Data represent mean ± SD of 3 technical replicates. For all panels, ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001, Student’s t test.

Article Title: Vitamin D regulates olfactory function via dual transcriptional and mTOR-dependent translational control of synaptic proteins

Figure Lengend Snippet: A. Venn diagram showing example overlapping DEGs from snRNA-seq (comparing VDR□ Glu3 groups: VD- hyper vs. VD- hypo and VD- hypo vs. VDD) and spatial transcriptomics (comparing VDR□ spots: VD- hyper vs. VD- hypo and VD- hypo vs. VDD). Genes marked in pink represent DEGs confirmed by RNA sequencing in control vs. VDR knockdown (VDR-KD) mice; genes in purple correspond to DEPs from proteomic analysis (VD- hyper vs. VD- hypo or VD- hypo vs. VDD); genes in blue are confirmed by both techniques. B-C. Dot plots showing expression of translation-related DEGs in VDR□ Glu3 neurons from snRNA-seq ( B ) and VDR□ spots from spatial transcriptomics ( C ) across three groups (VD- hyper , VD- hypo , and VDD). Dot size represents the percentage of cells expressing the gene; color indicates averaged scaled expression levels. D-G. Relative expression levels of eIF5A ( D ), Rps24 ( E ), Rps27a ( F ), and eIF3B ( G ) in LC-MS-based proteomic analysis (n=4 mice per group; unpaired t-test). H-K. Levels of mTOR signaling components, including Rps6 ( H ), eIF4EBP1 and p-eIF4EBP1 ( I ), eIF4EBP2 ( J ), and eIF4E ( K ), in the OB of the three mouse groups, measured by wes (n=3 mice per group; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons). L-O. Levels of regulators of mTOR signaling ( L-M ), mTOR and p-mTOR ( N ), and downstream targets S6K and p-S6K ( O ) in the OB of the three mouse groups, measured by wes (n=3 mice per group; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons). P. Experimental schematic of whole OB synaptosome preparations and protein-level validation using quantitative wes . Q-U. Components of mTOR signaling, including MNK and p-MNK ( Q ), Rps6 ( R ), eIF4E ( S ), eIF4EBP1 and p-eIF4EBP1 ( T ), and eIF4EBP2 ( U ), in synaptosome preparations from the OB of three mouse groups, measured by wes (n=4 mice per group; one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons). V-B’. Relative mRNA expression of Rpl4 ( V ), Rpl7 ( W ), Rpl21 ( X ), Rpl37 ( Y ), Rpl37a ( Z ), Rps13 ( A’ ), and Deptor ( B’ ) in control (Ctrl) and VDR-KD mice, analyzed by RNA sequencing (n=3 mice per group; statistical analysis conducted using standard pipelines for RNA-seq data, with normalization and multiple testing correction applied). Each symbol represents a biological replicate. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Significance levels: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001; ns indicates no statistical significance.
