Liraglutide suppresses fatty liver induced by Nudt7 deficiency
(A) Representative images of H&E, NUDT7, PPARγ, and H3K4me3 in mouse liver of HFD-fed Nudt7+/+ mice with liraglutide or equal volume of sterile saline i.p. injected mouse.
(B) Representative image of H&E and BODIPY staining and the number of BODIPY positive cells in HFD-fed Nudt7+/− mice with liraglutide or equal volume of sterile saline i.p. injected mouse. (n = 4; Scale bar, 100 μm).
(C) Hepatic FFA, TG, and cholesterol were analyzed in HFD-fed Nudt7+/− mice liver (n = 6).
(D) Representative images of FABP4, SCD1, PPARγ, and H3K4me3 staining (n = 3; Scale bars, 100 μm).
(E) The expression level of lipogenic, lipid metabolism, and cytokine genes was analyzed using qRT-PCR (n = 3).
(F) Representative image of BODIPY staining and the number of BODIPY positive cells in primary hepatocyte with or without 100 nM liraglutide (n = 6; Scale bars, 100 μm).
(G) The expression level of Nudt7, Pparg, Mll3, Scd1, Fabp4, and Ldlr was analyzed using qRT-PCR (n = 3). ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗p < 0.0001 (Unpaired t-test).
