FIGURE 8.

Cell death in Chop+/+ and Chop−/− macrophages. A, BMDMs from Chop+/+ (WT) and Chop−/− (KO) were treated with PA. Apoptosis in both was concentration- and time-dependent but was significantly abrogated in BMDM from Chop−/− mice (*, p < 0.05). VA, vehicle. B, representative fluorescent photomicrographs of BMDM nuclei stained with DAPI from PA-treated Chop+/+ and Chop−/− are shown. The white arrows point to apoptotic nuclei. Cells were treated with 400 μm palmitic acid for the indicated times. C, immunofluorescence for F4/80 is shown in red, and a TUNEL assay is in green for CD-fed and high fat diet-fed Chop+/+ and Chop−/− mice. The arrow points to an apoptotic F4/80 positive macrophage in HFD-fed Chop+/+ liver.
