Figure Lengend Snippet: Treatment with methyl jasmonate (MJ), which dissociates HK2 from mitochondria, impaired FLS invasion and migration. (A, B) RA FLSs (n = 4) were plated in matrigel spheroids and given vehicle (ethanol) or MJ 1 h before PDGF stimulation. (A) Quantification of area of invasion after MJ treatment. Comparison between groups was performed using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. Statistical analysis of P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. (B) Representative images of invasion with MJ. (C, D) RA FLSs were plated in six-well plates and scratched with the end of a sterile pipette tip. Cells were given vehicle (ethanol) or MJ 1 h before PDGF stimulation and allowed to migrate for 24 h, (C) Quantification of scratch length. The comparison between groups was performed using ordinary one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Statistical analysis of P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. (D) Representative images of MJ migration. (E, F) RA FLSs were plated in 12-well plates and treated with vehicle (ethanol) or MJ 1 h before addition of 0 µM H 2 O 2 , 75 µM H 2 O 2 , and 200 µM H 2 O 2 to assess cell death and were fixed and stained after 4 h, (E) Analysis of mean gray value of cells using Fiji software. Comparison between groups was performed using Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. Statistical analysis of P-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. (F) Representative images of control and 1.5 mM MJ. *P ≤ 0.05. "ns" denotes "not significant".
