Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. Cytosolic H2O2/Tnpo1-dependent nuclear translocation of PPARγ2 enhances PPARγ2 target gene expression and TG accumulation in hepatocytes. (A–C) WT and Sod1-deficient hepatocytes were infected with mock adenovirus or adPPARγ2 at a MOI of 50 for 48 h, followed by culturing with or without 5 μM DMNQ for 6 h. (D–F) WT hepatocytes were infected with mock adenovirus or adPPARγ2 at an MOI of 50, transfected with Tnpo1 or control siRNA for 24 h, and cultured with or without 5 μM DMNQ for 6 h. (A, D) (Left) Oil Red O staining. (Right) Quantification of Oil Red O staining. (B, C, E, F) Quantification of Pparg2, Fsp27, Fabp1, and Fabp4 mRNA levels (B, E) and the amount of DNA-bound PPARγ (C, F) in WT and Sod1-deficient hepatocytes (n = 5/group). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. WT hepatocytes infected with mock adenovirus without DMNQ treatment (A–C) and vs. hepatocytes infected with mock adenovirus, transfected with control siRNA, and without DMNQ treatment (D–F). All data are expressed as mean ± SEM. P value was calculated by one-way ANOVA in A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Article Snippet: Mutant mouse Tnpo1 and PPARγ2 expression vectors were prepared using the KOD-Plus-Mutagenesis kit (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) from MycDDK-tagged mouse Tnpo1 and PPARγ2 expression vectors (Origene).
