Sorting of LSEC subtypes by flow cytometry. Gating strategy for analyses and sorting of primary isolated LSEC. (A) Viable cells within the analyzed sample. (B) Single cells. Aggregates and doublets are excluded (C) CD11b/c-positive Kuppffer cells are excluded. (D) LSEC phenotypes: CD32b+ (specialized/differentiated) and CD32b (capillarized/dedifferentiated). (E) Percentage of CD32b cells indentified in control diet (CD-Veh, n = 4) and HFGFD rats after vehicle (HFGFD-Veh, n = 4), simvastatin (HFGFD-Sim, n = 4) or atorvastatin (HFGFD-Ato, n = 4) treatment. Group values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Percentage of each individual is shown as a dot. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01 compared to HFGFD-vehicle (ANOVA).
