Vera@CLCMP patches improve the accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins by inhibiting the activation of CaMKII. A-H C57BL/6 male mice kept on HFD for 9 weeks had Vera@CLCMP or CLCMP patches applied to the dorsal skin. LFD-fed mice of the same age were used as a negative control. A, C Triton X-100-soluble and-insoluble fractions of liver tissue lysates were immunoblotted with anti-ubiquitin and anti-p62 antibodies. α-tubulin served as a loading control. B, D Band intensities were quantified and normalized to control levels. E Immunohistochemical staining for p62 in liver tissues from mice in each group. Boxed areas are magnified in the bottom panels. Scale bars, 50 μm; 10 μm (insets). F Optical density of p62 immunoreactivity. G Liver tissues were collected from mice in each group and analyzed by immunoblotting with anti-phospho-CaMKII antibody. α-tubulin served as a loading control. H Band intensities were quantified and normalized to the CaMKII intensities. Data is shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ns, not significant (One-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test)
