The inhibition of Sirt6 leads to an increase in lipid droplet accumulation in macrophages. A Number of lipid droplets observed in macrophages untreated (none) or treated with Ac-LDL and cultured in Ad-sh-Sirt6 or Ad-Sirt6 medium; BODIPY 493/503 was used to stain the LDs in macrophages. B The average number of LDs; C Average LD size(pixels), data are presented as mean ± SEM (One way ANOVA showed that there was statistical significance among groups, *P < 0.05 vs the control group; #P < 0.05 vs the Ac-LDL group; &P < 0.05 vs the Ac-LDL + Ad-sh-Sirt6 group). C Visualisation of lipid droplets via electron microscopy (n = 6 independent experiments)
