Figure 7. Genes related to lipid metabolism are significantly downregulated in the liver of METTL3 HKO mice. (AE) qRT-PCR analysis of the mRNA expression of genes related to fatty acid oxidation (A), cholesterol efflux (B), lipid metabolic process (C), lipid transport (D), and lipid biosynthetic process (E) in the liver of METTL3 HKO mice and control mice. (FG) Representative immunoblotting images (F) and quantitative results (G) for the potential target gene in the liver of METTL3 HKO mice and control mice. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. Abbreviations: FFA: free fatty acid; ns: not significant; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
