(H) Hepatic mRNA levels. ( I ) C57BL/6J mice were fed chow diet or WD fed for 8 or 16 weeks. Hepatic macrophages were isolated, and Rbp4 protein levels were determined. ( J ) Plasma Rbp4 protein levels of Lv-Atf3 mice or Atf3 M−/− mice were measured. ( K to S ) Atf3 M−/− mice were fed a WD for 13 weeks, and the mice were intraperitoneally (i.p.) injected with 100 μg of anti-Rbp4 antibodies (per mouse) or vehicle once every 6 days for 30 days ( n = 6 per group). The experimental procedures are illustrated in (K). The levels of hepatic lipids (L), FFAs (M), hydroxyproline (N), and plasma ALT/AST were analyzed. (O) Representative liver section images stained by H&E or picrosirius red. (P) MASH score. (Q) Fibrotic area. (R) Plasma ALT/AST. (S) Hepatic mRNA levels. ( T ) Simplified model depicting the role of hepatic macrophage Atf3 in regulation of MASH in mice. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01.
