Constitutive Depletion of Slc16a11 in Mice Does Not Cause Significant Metabolic Defects under HFD
(A) Body weight of mice fed with HFD starting at 7 weeks old.
(B) Average food intake.
(C) Body fat percentage.
(D) Liver tissue triglyceride levels.
(E) Serum triglyceride levels.
(F) Serum total cholesterol levels.
(G) Metabolite profiling of liver tissue. Shown are relative differences of indicated metabolites in Slc16a11 knockout livers as compared to wild-type livers. Green, significantly downregulated; red, significantly upregulated.
(H) Responses to glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Experiments were carried out in male mice of different genotypes after treatment with HFD for around 3 months.
n = 6 animals for each group in metabolites profiling in (G); n = 8–10 animals for each group in other analyses (A)–(F) and (H); one of at least two experiments. All data are represented as means with SEM. The unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t test (A)–(F) and one-way ANOVA, post hoc Bonferroni multiple-comparison test in (H) was used for statistical analysis. Cer, ceramide; CL, diphosphatidyl glycerols; DG, diacylglycerol; HexCer, Hex2Cer, hexosylceramide; N.S., not significant; PA, phosphatidic acid; PC, phosphatidylcholine; PE, phosphatidylethanolamine; PG, phosphatidylglycerol; PI, phosphatidylinositol; PS, phosphatidylserine; SM, sphingomyelin; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglyceride. See also Figures S1 and S2.

Reconstitution of Mutant Slc16a11 in Mouse Liver Causes Increased Blood Triglyceride Levels under Normal Diet
(A) Slc16a11 mRNA expression levels in mouse livers.
(B) Serum triglyceride levels.
(C) Serum total cholesterol levels.
(D) Liver tissue triglyceride levels.
(E) Responses to glucose tolerance tests.
(F) Responses to insulin tolerance tests. Mice were administrated with the indicated adeno-associated viruses and subjected to analysis 3 months after viral delivery. All mice were on normal diet.
n = 8–10 animals for each group; one of two experiments. All data are represented as means with SEM. One-way ANOVA, post hoc Bonferroni multiple-comparison test was used for statistical analysis. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗∗p <

(G) Representative images of liver tissue H&E staining. Scale bars represent 500 μm.
(H) Expression of SLC16A11 mRNA levels (left) and cellular triglyceride levels (right) in HepG2 cells transfected with empty vector, wild-type, or mutant SLC16A11 plasmids, treated with or without sodium stearate (1 mM). n = 3 biological replicates; one of three experiments.
For analyses in mice, experiments were carried out in male mice administrated with the indicated adeno-associated viruses and subjected to analyses around 3 months after viral delivery and HFD feeding. n = 8–10 animals for each group in (A)–(F); one of two experiments. All data are represented as means with SEM. The one-way ANOVA, post hoc Bonferroni multiple-comparison test (A)–(F) and (H) was used for statistical analysis. ∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01; ∗∗∗p < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗p <
