Figure Lengend Snippet: LYPLAL1 knockout alters the expression of metabolic regulators and mitochondrial β-oxidation processes. A: mRNA levels of transcription factors MLXIPL and PPARα without oleic acid (OA) and with 200 μM OA. B and C: mRNA levels of (B) de novo lipogenesis genes and (C) β-oxidation genes with and without 200 μM OA treatment. D: Representative histograms and relative mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) showing protein levels of major β-oxidation enzymes ACADVL, ACADM, and HADHA without oleic acid and with 200 μM OA. E: Seahorse XF assay for mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in vehicle or etomoxir treated HuH-7 and LYPLAL1 KO cells without oleic acid and with 200 μM OA. Port A: Etomoxir (4 μM), port B: Oligomycin (1.5 μM), port C: FCCP (0.5 μM), and port D: Rotenone/antimycin A (0.5 μM). F: Maximal oxygen consumption rate (OCR) with vehicle or etomoxir treated HuH-7 and LYPLAL1 KO cells without oleic acid and with 200 μM OA. LYP KO = LYPLAL1 KO, Eto = Etomoxir. G: Vehicle treated (<1% DMSO) and etomoxir treated (100 μM) HuH-7 and LYPLAL1 KO cells with 200 μM OA. Cells were treated with etomoxir and oleic acid for 24 h. Data represented as mean ± S.E.M. ns: P > 0.05, ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001.
