Fig. 4: SOAT1 regulates SLC40A1 in a SREBPs-independent manner.

A The effect of SOAT1, SREBP1, and SREBP2 on the protein expression of SLC40A1 were measured by Western blot. The positive correlation of SOAT1 affects the expression of SLC40A1, while SREBP1 and SREBP2 have no effect on the expression of SLC40A1. B ChIP analyses of SREBP1 and SREBP2 binding on the SLC40A1 promoter region in U-87MG cells. C SREBP1 ChIP-Seq showed no binding of SREBP1 on SLC40A1 promoter region in KYSE-150 and TE cells. D SREBP2 ChIP-Seq showed no binding of SREBP2 on SLC40A1 promoter region in MEL-178, Monocytes, and A549 cells. E The mRNA expression of SLC40A1 and SOAT1 had obvious positive correlation based on the TCGA datasets. F There was no statistically significant relationship between the mRNA expression of SLC40A1 and SREBP1. G There was no statistically significant relationship between the mRNA expression of SLC40A1 and SREBP2. Data significance is denoted as follows: *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
