doi: 10.1002/advs.202415941
Figure Lengend Snippet: HCF1 and OGT cooperatively promote LIMA1 O‐GlcNAcylation in steatotic hepatocytes. A) Western blot analysis of OGT and HCF1 in OPA‐treated MPH at 0, 8, 16, and 24 h. B) Interaction between O‐GlcNAc, OGT, and HCF1 by Co‐IP in OPA‐treated MPH at 0 and 24 h. C, D) Immunofluorescence showing HCF1 (green), OGT (red) or O‐GlcNAc (red) colocalization in OPA‐treated MPH at 0, 8, 16, and 24 h. Scale bars, 20 µm. E) Western blot analysis of OGT and HCF1 in livers from NCD‐fed mice and HFD‐fed mice at 20 weeks. F, G) Immunofluorescence showing HCF1 (green), OGT (red) or O‐GlcNAc (red) colocalization in livers from NCD‐fed mice and HFD‐fed mice. Scale bars, 100 µm. H) Interaction between LIMA1, HCF1, and OGT by Co‐IP in HEK293T cells transfected with Flag‐LIMA1. I) Interaction between HCF1, OGT, and LIMA1 by Co‐IP in HEK293T cells transfected with MYC‐HCF1. J, K) Co‐IP showing interaction between LIMA1 and OGT or O‐GlcNAc was increased by HCF1 overexpression or decreased by HCF1 knockdown in HEK293T cells co‐transfected with His‐OGT/Flag‐LIMA1 and MYC‐HCF1 or siHCF1, respectively. L, M) Co‐IP showing the interaction between LIMA1 and O‐GlcNAc was increased by HCF1 or OGT overexpression in HEK293T cells co‐transfected with MYC‐HCF1/Flag‐LIMA1 or His‐OGT/Flag‐LIMA1, respectively.
