Figure Lengend Snippet: Volcano plot depicting differential transcriptome in the liver ( a ), pancreas ( b ), and small intestine ( c ) of db/db mice. Red dots represent up-regulated genes, while black dots represent down-regulated genes. d Identification of candidate genes upregulated in the liver, pancreas, and small intestine of T2DM mice. e Experimental design for siRNA injection in vivo. db/db mice were injected with scrambled siRNA or Nogo-B siRNA, and db/m mice were injected with 0.9% normal saline as the healthy control. f Body weight of mice (n = 6 mice per group). g Fasted glucose levels of mice (n = 6 mice per group). h – j Serum levels of insulin, glucagon and GLP1 of mice (n = 6 mice per group). k Oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT) and area under the curve (AUC) analysis of mice (n = 6). l Insulin tolerance test (ITT) and AUC analysis of mice (n = 6 mice per group). m Glucose stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) test and AUC analysis of mice (n = 6 mice per group). n pINSR, INSR, pIRS1, IRS1, pIRS2, IRS2, pAKT and AKT protein levels in mouse liver (n = 6 mice per group). o Hepatic glucose production (HGP) under basal and clamp conditions of mice (n = 3 mice per group). HGP suppression ( p ), glucose infusion rate (GIR, q ),and glucose disposal rate (GDR, r ) of mice (n = 3 mice per group). Data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. The p values of ( a – c ) were calculated by two-sided test and adjusted for p values by the Benjamini-Hochberg method to control for false positives due to multiple comparisons. The p values of ( f – l ) were calculated by one-way ANOVAs. The p values of ( m , o – r ) were calculated by two-tailed Student’s t test. The p values of ( f , g , k , l ) are indicated as db/db-KD group vs. db/db group. Source data are provided as a file.
