Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparative proteomic analysis of whole mouse livers and iHLCs (A) Venn diagram depicting overlap of significant DE proteins in APOE4 vs. APOE3 across whole mouse livers and iHLCs (batch 1 and 2). (B) Gene Ontology Biological Process (GO-BP) and KEGG pathway analysis of the 70 proteins shared across mouse liver and iHLCs, showing protein counts per category. (C) Heatmap of proteins consistently upregulated or downregulated in APOE4 vs. APOE3 across whole mouse liver and iHLCs (batch 1 and 2). (D–E) Western blot analysis of CYP27A1, FDFT1, and PGAM1 in APOE4 and APOE3 whole mouse livers, with relative densitometry quantification. n = 16 per group. (F–G) Western blot analysis of CYP27A1, FDFT1, and PGAM1 in APOE4 and APOE3 isogenic iHLCs, with relative densitometry quantification. n = 6 per group. (E and G) Statistical significance was determined by unpaired t test. Data are shown as mean ± SD. ∗ p < 0.05.
