Figure Lengend Snippet: Experimental validation. ( A ) qRT-PCR results for core gene mRNA expression (**P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). ( B ) Western Blot bands for core proteins. ( C ) Oil Red O staining of control and NAFLD model HepG2 cells. ( D ) JC-1 fluorescence staining (red: aggregates, high potential; green: monomers, low potential).

Article Snippet: The primary antibodies used were as follows: Anti-IGF1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (IGF1, Catalog No. A11985; ABclonal Technology, China), Anti-MYH11 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (MYH11, Clone EPR5335; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Anti-HYOU1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (HYOU1, Catalog No. A1042; ABclonal Technology, Wuhan, China), Anti-SPATA18 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (SPATA18, Catalog No. A09906-1; ABclonal Technology, Wuhan, China), Anti-SCD (Stearoyl-CoA Desaturase) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (SCD, Catalog No. ab236868; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and Anti-β-Actin Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (β-Actin, Catalog No. AC026; ABclonal Technology, Wuhan, China).Sodium palmitate (PA) and sodium oleate (OA) were obtained as a ready-made mixture (PA 6 mmol/L, OA 12 mmol/L; Catalog No. KC006) from Xi’an Kunchuang Technology Development Co., Ltd. (China).The mitochondrial membrane potential fluorescent probe JC-1 (Catalog No. C2006) was supplied by Beyotime Biotechnology (China).
