Fig. 2. Non-apoptotic cell death by necroptosis in severe steatosis after hepatectomy.

Fig. 2

Mice fed a HFD for 16 weeks underwent Ripk3 knockdown (R-KD) and partial hepatectomy. a Haematoxylin-eosin staining. Scale bar, 50 μm. Asterisks indicate hepatocellular death foci. b Plasma ALT levels. c TUNEL staining. Scale bar, 50 μm. Arrowheads indicate solitary dead hepatocytes. Asterisks indicate hepatocellular death foci. Arrows indicate perifocal dead hepatocytes. d Number of TUNEL+ hepatocytes defined as described. e TUNEL/Cl-CASP3 double staining (left). Cl-CASP3+ or Cl-CASP3 hepatocytes as a percentage of TUNEL+ hepatocytes (right). f Immunoblot analysis. Data are presented as the mean values ± SEM. [n = 6/group, biologically independent samples]. Statistics: one-way repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s multiple comparisons test (b), two-tailed Student’s t test (d, e). CTRL, control; T, time effect; G, group effect; T×G, time and group interaction. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
