SHP2 dephosphorylation of ANT1 at Tyr 191 is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis. a Flow cytometry analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential by JC-1 staining of HEK293T cells overexpressing Vector, SHP2-HA, SHP2-D61A-HA, or SHP2-C459S-HA plasmid and left untreated (medium) or treated with cccp (20 µM, 1 h). b,c HEK293T cells were transfected with pro-caspase-1, ASC, NLRP3, and SHP2-HA, SHP2-D61A-HA, or SHP2-C459S-HA plasmid, respectively, followed by ATP (5 mM, 1 h) treatment. b Flow cytometry analysis of caspase-1 activation. c Immunoblot analysis of caspase-1 activation. d Flow cytometry analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential by JC-1 staining of HEK293T cells overexpressing Vector, ANT1-myc, ANT1-Y191F-myc, or ANT1-Y195F-myc plasmid and left untreated (medium) or treated with cccp (20 µM, 1 h). e, f HEK293T cells were transfected with pro-caspase-1, ASC, NLRP3, and ANT1-myc, ANT1-Y191F-myc or ANT1-Y195F-myc plasmid respectively followed by ATP (5 mM, 1 h) treatment. e Flow cytometry analysis of caspase-1 activation. f Immunoblot analysis of caspase-1 activation. *P < 0.05, one-way ANOVA for multiple comparisons, NS represents no significance. Data are representative of three independent experiments (mean and SEM of three independent samples in a, b, d, e)
