Protein expression in stimulated macrophages was determined by western blot using 20 μg of total protein per sample3 (link). Separation into cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions was performed using 0.4 M NaCl and 0.1% Nonidet P-40 (NP-40) in extraction buffer57 (link). SDS immunoblots (IBs) were performed to evaluate steady-state protein levels of structural subunits of mitochondrial complexes assessed by native gels. Antibodies in this study are as follows: anti ACO1/2, anti IDH1, anti SDHB, anti SDHA, anti NDUFS1, anti MTCO1, anti ATP5A, anti NDUFS8, anti total OXPHOS (Complex V, ATP5A subunit; Complex IV, COXII subunit; Complex III, UQCRC2 subunit; Complex II, SDHB; Complex I, NDUFB9 subunit) and anti Phospho-S293 PDHE1-alpha were from Abcam; anti-FECH antibody was from Proteintech; anti phospho-, total PDK1 and anti HIF1α were from Novus Biologicals. For loading control anti CS, anti TOM20, Lamin B and anti β-actin were used (respectively from Sigma, Santa Cruz, Abcam, and Millipore).
