Downregulation of Per2 increases lipogenic gene expression and TG levels in Ksrp−/− hepatocytes. A: Expression of lipogenic genes, Acaca, Fasn, and Scd1, in wild-type and Ksrp−/− hepatocytes transfected with siCon or siPer2 before and 28 h and 32 h after Dex treatment. B: Expression of Srebp1c and Pparg in wild-type and Ksrp−/− hepatocytes transfected with siCon or siPer2 before and 28 h and 32 h after Dex treatment. C: Intracellular TG levels in wild-type and Ksrp−/− hepatocytes transfected with siCon or siPer2. All data are mean ± SEM (n = 4–6). * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.005. D: Expression of Per2 in wild-type and Ksrp−/− hepatocytes transfected with siCon or siPer2 before and 28 h and 32 h after Dex treatment. E: Wild-type and Ksrp−/− hepatocytes were transfected with siCon or siPer2. PER2 expression was analyzed by immunoblotting.
