Liver-specific regulation of Pgrmc1 controls hepatic fat accumulation through SREBP-1. (A,B) Palmitic acid (330 µM) and oleic acid (660 µM) were incubated for 48 hrs with high glucose medium. Fatty acid substantially increased Oil Red O stained area and AG-205 ameliorated fat accumulation in hepatocyte (Scale bar, 10 µm). (C,D) Fatty acids were incubated in same concentration as above for 4 hrs after pre-incubation of AG-205 for 12 hrs. PGRMC1 mRNA level was increased after AG-205 treatment and SREBP-1 mRNA level was inversely changed to PGRMC1 mRNA level. (E,F) Cells were isolated from mice and maintained in high glucose medium for one day. Fatty acids (Palmitic acid; 330 µM, Oleic acid 660 µM) were treated for 24 hrs. Levels of mature SREBP-1 protein were increased in loss of Pgrmc1. Rplp0 mRNA was used as an internal control in real time PCR. Beta actin was used as an internal control in western blot. Values represent means ± SD of at least 3 experiments. *P < 0.05.
