Figure Lengend Snippet: In vitro evaluation of foam cell lipid accumulation and lipophagy activation following OPN-HMCN@MLT treatment. ( A - C ) ORO and BODIPY staining images and corresponding quantification of ORO and BODIPY positive areas of RAW264.7 cells under different stimulations (n = 5, scale bar for ORO: 100 μm, scale bar for BODIPY: 20 μm). ( D ) Bio-TEM images of RAW264.7 cells post various treatments (n = 5, scale bars 1.0 μm). Green arrows indicate nanoparticles. ( E , F ) Morphometric analysis determined the mean number and area (μm 2 ) of LDs per cell section. ( G ) Confocal images depicting lipophagy flux in foam cells following different treatments (n = 5 biological replicates, scale bars: 10 μm). ( H - J ) The quantities of acidified autophagosomes (GFP-RFP+), neutral autophagosomes (GFP + RFP+), and LDs labeled with BODIPY were measured per cell for each condition. (K to N) Representative Western blot images and quantitative analysis of LC3, LAMP1, and P62 expression in foam cells. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001.

( B , C ) Confocal images and quantitative analysis of LDs colocalization with fatty acids in RAW264.7 cells following different treatments (n = 5, scale bars: 5 μm). ( D , E ) Confocal images of the colocalization of mitochondria with fatty acids and quantified data of fatty acids in RAW264.7 cells under different stimulations (n = 5, scale bars: 5 μm). ( F , G ) Confocal images illustrating mitochondrial colocalization with ATP and corresponding quantification of ATP levels in RAW264.7 cells post various treatments (n = 5, scale bars: 20 μm). ( H ) Diagram illustrating the incorporation of [U- 13 C] palmitic acid into the TCA cycle and the labeling pattern of derived metabolites (n = 3). ( I ) A PCA plot illustrates the cluster separation between the two groups (n = 3). ( J ) Heatmap showing differences in metabolites between the two groups (n = 3). ( K ) Normalized total labeling of each metabolite to [U- 13 C] palmitic acid (n = 3). ( L ) Proportion of (m + 2)-labeled TCA cycle metabolites derived from [U- 13 C] palmitic acid (n = 3). ( M - R ) The study quantified NBD-cholesterol accumulation ( M , P ) and cholesterol efflux facilitated by HDL ( N , O ) and apoA-I ( Q , R ) using confocal imaging across (n = 5, Scale bar = 50 μm). ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001, and ∗∗∗∗ P < 0.0001.
