(A) Clustering analysis of gene expression in primary hepatocytes transduced with adenoviruses expressing GFP, PGC-1α, or individual TFs. Relative mRNA expression of genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis, fatty acid β-oxidation, mitochondrial OXPHOS, and circadian clock were analyzed using qPCR.
(B) qPCR analysis of gene expression in hepatocytes transduced with GFP (open) or BAF60a adenoviruses at multiplicity of infection of 1 (grey) or 3 (filled).
(C) qPCR analysis of relative mitochondrial/nuclear DNA content.
(D) Immunoblotting analysis of transduced primary hepatocytes.
(E–F) Relative rate of fatty acid oxidation (E) and secretion of TG-containing lipoproteins (F) in transduced hepatocytes. All data represent mean ± stdev. *p<0.05.
