Post-transcriptional reduction of LRAT in FXR-null mice. Whole body FXR-null and wild type mice were analyzed for (A) hepatic mRNA expression of Lrat, Dgat1, Dgat2, Pnpla2 (Atgl), Pnpla3, Lipe (Hsl). Hepatic Lrat and Pnpla3 mRNA levels were increased in FXR-null mice, with no change in other vitamin A metabolizing enzymes as compared to control. Western blot analysis (B) and immunohistochemical staining (C) for LRAT revealed that hepatic protein levels of LRAT were significantly reduced in FXR-null mice as compared to wild-type control mice. Data are presented as Mean ± SEM and mRNA expression of genes is presented in 2−delta CT, which was normalized to 36B4.
