AIM:To investigate whether perilipin 2(PLIN2)promotes lipid accumulation by regulating the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 2(SREBP2)in mouse RAW264.7 macrophages.METHODS:Oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)was used to treat RAW264.7 macrophages for different time(0,6,12,24 and 48 h),and Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of PLIN2 and SREBP2.The expression levels of SREBP2,3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase(HMGCR)and glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78)were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot in RAW264.7 macrophages withPLIN2 over-express...
