Figure Lengend Snippet: The effects of LA on the phenotypic characteristics of RAW264.7 cells and regulation of Ra on their phenotypic expression (A–C) The Kaplan-Meier survival curves of ABCA1, ABCG1, and PLIN4 in TCGA-SKCM. (D–J) The transcriptomic analysis of RAW264.7 cells with different treatments: (D) the volcano plots of LA group (culturing for three generations with LA) compared with control group (culturing for three generations without LA), and both the blue and red dots represented SDEGs (|log 2 FC|≥1 and q < 0.05); (E and F) GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of lipid synthesis/metabolism genes in LA group compared with control group; (G) the lipid synthesis/metabolism gene heatmap of control and LA groups; (H and I) GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of immune-related genes in LA group compared with control group; (J) the immune-related gene heatmap of control and LA groups ( n = 3). (K and L) The flow cytometry assay of LD levels in CD206 − RAW264.7 and CD206 + RAW264.7 ( n = 3). (M) The strategy of lipid droplet metabolism to regulate RAW264.7 phenotype. (N and O) The flow cytometry assay of LD levels in RAW264.7 treated with different Ra concentrations ( n = 3). (P and Q) Perilipin 2, iNOS, and Arg-1 expression levels of RAW264.7 treated with Ra ( n = 3). Data are represented as mean ± SD. p values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test for (L), (N), and (Q); ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001. See also .

(C–F) The relative mRNA expression of (C) CD86, (D) NOS2, (E) CD206, and (F) Arg-1 in BMDMs ( n = 3). (G–K) The transcriptomic analysis results of RAW264.7 cells: (G) the volcano plots of R@LOX group (culturing with R@LOX and LA) compared with control group (culturing with only LA), and both the blue and red dots represented SDEGs (|log 2 FC|≥1 and q < 0.05); (H and I) GO and KEGG enrichment analysis of SDEGs in R@LOX group compared with control group; (J and K) the heatmap of control and R@LOX group genes. Data are represented as mean ± SD. p values were determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test for (C), (D), (E), and (F) and unpaired two-tailed Student’s t test for (B). n.s., not significant; ∗ p < 0.05, ∗∗ p < 0.01, ∗∗∗ p < 0.001, ∗∗∗∗ p < 0.0001.
