Article Title: PLIN5 deficiency ameliorates metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease by inhibiting ferroptosis
doi: 10.3892/mmr.2025.13714
Figure Lengend Snippet: PLIN5 affects ferroptosis through ATF3/CHOP/CHAC1 signaling. (A) DEGs in mouse liver tissues from the PLIN5 −/− HFD group are shown compared to those in the WT HFD group (red dots represent upregulated genes, whereas blue dots represent downregulated genes). (B) DEGs associated with ferroptosis in the PLIN5 −/− HFD and WT HFD groups were analyzed (log 2 FC>1, P<0.05). (C) KEGG pathway and GO term enrichment analyses of different genes were performed. (D) mRNA levels of PRC1, LTF, GDPD5, FSCN1, MYC, ATF3 and PLIN2 in the liver tissues of WT HFD and PLIN5 −/− HFD mice were measured (n=5 mice/group). (E) mRNA levels of ATF3, CHOP and CHAC1 in the liver tissues of mice in each group were detected (n=5 mice/group). (F) Western blot analysis of ATF3, CHOP and CHAC1 protein expression in the liver tissues of mice from the WT HFD and PLIN5 −/− HFD groups was performed, with tubulin as the internal reference. Semi-quantitative analysis performed using ImageJ (n=3 mice/group). All experiments were repeated at least three times (n=3). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001, n.s., not significant.

Article Snippet: Following transfection, the cells were treated with PAOA for 48 h. In addition, in the pcDNA3.1 PLIN5 + ferrostatin-1 (FER-1) group, the cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 PLIN5 , pretreated with 2 μM FER-1 (cat. no. HY-100579; MedChemExpress) at 37°C in a 5% CO 2 cell culture incubator for 1 h, and then treated with PAOA for an additional 48 h.
