Accumulation of PNPLA3 and CGI-58 protein on hepatic lipid droplets of PNPLA3WTTg and PNPLA3148MTg mice. Lipid droplets and mRNA were prepared from livers of 11-week-old male mice after 4 weeks on a high-sucrose diet. (A) Relative levels of endogenous and human PNPLA3 and CGI-58 mRNA in wild-type (+/+), PNPLA3WTTg, and PNPLA3148MTg transgenic mice. (B) Immunoblot analysis of lipid droplet proteins from wild-type (+/+), PNPLA3WTTg, and PNPLA3148MTg transgenic mice. *P < 0.01. The experiment was repeated twice and the results were similar.
