Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schematic illustration of the AAV8-mediated DUSP10 downregulation in the liver of HFD-fed Trim7-HKO mice. b , c Immunoblotting analysis ( b ) and quantitative ( c ) analysis of DUSP10 expression in liver tissues from the above AAV8-injected mice ( n = 4; P values determined by 2 tailed t test). d – h Liver weight ( d ), liver weight/body weight ratio ( e ), fasting blood glucose levels ( f ), fasting insulin levels ( g ), and HOMA-IR ( h ) in the above AAV8-injected mice after 14 weeks of HFD feeding ( n = 8; P values determined by 2 tailed t test). i , j The IPGTT ( i ) and IPITT ( j ) were conducted on the above AAV8-injected mice at 12 weeks and 13 weeks of HFD feeding, respectively. Subsequently, the areas under the curve (AUC) for each test were calculated ( n = 8; P values determined by 2 tailed t test). k Immunoblotting analysis of the indicated proteins expression in liver tissues from the above AAV8-injected mice after 14 weeks of HFD feeding ( n = 4). l – n Liver PAS staining images ( l ), liver H&E and Oil red O staining images ( m ), and quantitative analysis of Oil Red O-positive areas in liver tissues ( n = 5; P values determined by 2 tailed t test). o ELISA analysis of the serum levels of TNFα, IL-6, and IL-10 in the above AAV8-injected mice after 14 weeks of HFD feeding ( n = 8; P values determined by 2 tailed t test). p Immunofluorescence staining images for F4/80 in liver tissues from the above AAV8-injected mice ( n = 6). q Immunoblotting analysis of the indicated protein expression in liver tissues from the above AAV8-injected mice ( n = 4). Data are presented as mean ± SD. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
