Activation of STAT3 in fatty dHepaRG. (a) Left panel: dHepaRG cells were treated with vehicle (Ctrl) or with sodium oleate 250 μM for 4 days, protein extracts were analyzed by immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. Right panel: densitometric analysis (ImageJ software). (b) RNA transcripts were extracted from cells treated as in a) and cDNAs were analyzed with STAT3 specific primers and normalized to Actin. (c/d) dHepaRG cells were treated with vehicle (Ctrl) or with sodium oleate 250 μM for 4 days, and co-treated for the subsequent 18 hours with sodium oleate 250 μM and with Ruxolitinib 1 μM (c) or with sodium oleate 250 μM and NAC 10 mM (d). Left panels: protein extracts were analyzed by Immunoblot with the indicated antibodies. Right panels: densitometric analysis (ImageJ software). Histograms show relative protein level expressed as fold induction of treated cells versus control; bars indicate S.D.; asterisks indicate p-value. Full-length blots are included in Supplementary Fig. 10.
