The induction of autophagy accelerates LD disappearance in quiescent HSCs. Freshly isolated HSCs were treated with control-Vector or Atg5-plasmid, and then were cultured for 5 days. (A) Western blot and densitometric analysis showing LC3-I/II levels. (B) ORO absorbance and retinol measurement showing the content of lipid droplets. (C) Nile red staining and Perilipin A immunostaining showing the changes of cellular lipid content. For the statistics of each panel in this figure, data are expressed as mean±SD (n=3); *P<0.05 versus control, **P<0.01 versus control, ***P<0.001 versus control.
