Figure Lengend Snippet: Loss of Pbrm1 increases vulnerability to high-fat diet-induced fatty liver. ( A ) After high-fat diet treatment, the liver weight/body weight ratio is increased in Pbrm1 KO mice (n = 7 for each group). ( B and C ) Following high-fat diet treatment, Pbrm1 KO livers exhibit more pronounced fatty changes in H&E-stained histological sections (n = 7 for each group). Scale bar: 500 μm. ( D and E ) Fresh frozen liver specimens stained with Oil Red show increased fat droplet accumulation in Pbrm1 KO liver, with quantification of fat-occupied areas (n = 7 for each group). Scale bar: 500 μm. ( F ) Quantification of triglyceride levels in Pbrm1 KO and WT livers using a colorimetric assay (n = 6 for each group). ( G and H ) Serum levels of AST ( G ) and ALT ( H ) are similar in both Pbrm1 KO and WT mice after high-fat diet treatment (n = 7 for each group). ∗ P < .05 and ∗∗ P < .01.

Representative histology and immunophenotype of tumors from AKP and AK mice. ( A – F ) Histology and immunophenotype of an iCCA derived from an AKP liver. Low magnification ( A , 40×) and high magnification ( B , 200×) views of an H&E-stained section show tumor cells arranged in glandular patterns or as isolated cells within a fibrous stroma. IHC analysis reveals that the tumor cells do not express PBRM1 ( C ) or HNF-4α ( D ), but are positive for KRT19 ( E ) and SOX9 ( F ). Histology and immunophenotype analysis of an HCC derived from an AK liver. ( G and H ) Low magnification ( G , 40×) and high magnification ( H , 200×) views of an H&E-stained section reveal tumor cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged in trabecular patterns. IHC staining shows that the tumor cells express PBRM1 ( I ) and HNF-4α ( J ), but lack expression of KRT19 ( K ) and SOX9 ( L ). Scale bars for ( A ) and ( G ): 500 μm; B - F and H - L : 100 μm.
