(A) Protein expression of Fyn, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (B) Protein expression of Lyn, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (C) Protein expression of phosphorylated (p)-Src, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (D) Protein expression of p-MKKK, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (E) Protein expression of p-JNK, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (F) Protein expression of p-c-JUN, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (G) Protein expression of p-p38, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (H) Protein expression of p-ERK1/2, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (I) Protein expression of NF-κB, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (J) Protein expression of PPAR-γ, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (K) Protein expression of NOX2, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001. (L) Analytical result of ANGPTL4 activity by ELISA, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶, α, γ), P < 0.001. (M) Analytical result of lipoprotein lipase activity (LPLa) by ELISA, * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡, §, ¶, α, γ), P < 0.0001. All statistical analyses were performed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni multiple comparison post hoc test ( n =3 for WB in each group). Symbols (*, †, ‡, §, ¶, α, γ) indicate significance (at 0.05 level). (N–T) Illustrating the lipid droplet formation in a macrophage (gray color) in different conditions. (U) Analytical result of lipid droplet formation * vs. other groups with different symbols (†, ‡), P < 0.0001 ( n = 5). Cell grouping : F1 = RAW 264.7 cells, F2 = RAW 264.7 cells + FFA (TG), F3 = RAW 264.7 cells + FFA (TG) + DAPA (50 μM), F4 = RAW 264.7 cells + FFA (TG) + Alirocumab (200 nM), F5 = siRNA CD36 in RAW 264.7 cells + FFA, F6 = siRNA CD36 in RAW 264.7 cells + FFA + DAPA (50 μM), F7 = siRNACD36 in RAW 264.7 cells + FFA + Alirocumab (200 nM). FFA, free fatty acid.
