Figure Lengend Snippet: NAMPT/SIRT1/SREBP1 mediates the protective effects of METTL1-deficient MSCs in MASLD. (A-C) Representative images of IF staining for NAMPT, SIRT1 and SREBP1 in HepG2 cells co-cultured with MSC shGFP and MSC shMETTL1 cells after treatment with FFA (Scale bar = 20 μm). (D, E) Western blot analysis of NAMPT, SIRT1 and SREBP1 expression in HepG2 cells co-cultured with MSC shGFP and MSC shMETTL1 cells following FFA treatment. (F) The NAD+ content was measured in the indicated cells. (G-I) Representative images of IF staining for NAMPT, SIRT1 and SREBP1 in liver tissues from mice transplanted with MSC shGFP and MSC shMETTL1 cells after 16 weeks of HFD feeding (Scale bar = 100 μm). (J, K) Western blot analysis of NAMPT, SIRT1, and SREBP1 expression in liver tissues from mice transplanted with MSC shGFP and MSC shMETTL1 cells after 16 weeks of HFD feeding. (L) The NAD+ content was measured in the indicated mouse liver tissues. For all statistical graphs, data are presented as mean ± S.E.M., with statistical significance indicated in the figure.
Article Snippet: Additionally, a primary antibody to METTL1 (14994-1-AP), SIRT1 (13161-1-AP), NAMPT (11776-1-AP) and SREBP1 (14088-1-AP) were purchased from Proteintech.
