Figure 4 PPARα normalization improved hepatocellular steatosis by transcriptional promotion of lipometabolic genes. A: PPARα restoration by circRNA-0046366 promoted expression of CPT1A and SLC27A at the transcriptional level; B: Transcriptional activation of CPT1A and SLC27A resulted in their significant up-regulation. Improved expression of lipometabolic genes reduced the TG level (C) and attenuated hepatocellular steatosis (D) (200 ×). Results are expressed as mean ± SD. aP < 0.05, bP < 0.01. PPAR: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor; TG: Triglyceride.
