(B) Asah1 floxed ( Asah1 fl/fl /WT) mice and Asah1 fl/fl / Alb Cre mice (hepatocyte-specific deletion of Asah1 ) were fed with PD for 20 weeks. Hepatic and plasma HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA. Hepatic HMGB1 level was normalized to total protein. (C) HepG2-hepatocytes were transfected with siNC or si ASAH1 for 48 hours, followed by treatment with vehicle or a lipid mixture consisting of free FAs (300 μM; OA: PA = 2:1) and 7K (40 μM) for 24 hours. Cell lysate and supernatant HMGB1 levels were quantified by ELISA. (D) Transwell co-culture schematic. HepG2 hepatocytes were cultured in the upper chamber, transfected with siNC or siASAH1 for 48 hours. Primary LSECs were cultured separately in the lower chamber. After transfection, co-culture was initiated with FA + 7K treatment in the upper chamber and vehicle or glycyrrhizin (60 μM, HMGB1 inhibitor) in the lower chamber for 24 hours.
