Supplemental Fig. 1

Transmission electron micrographs of CAV-1 (a, b, e, f) showing hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) around the portal tract (a, b) and around the central vein (c, d) in normal liver tissue (a–d) and in cirrhotic liver tissue (e, f): a, c, e low magnification; b, d, f high magnification. a, b: HSCs associated with low-density lipid droplets (LDs). Immunogold particles labeled CAV-1 in small clusters (arrowheads) on the rims of low-density LDs. Arrowheads indicate CAV-1 in the rim. c, d: Immunogold particles labeled CAV-1 in vesicles (black arrowheads) on the rims of low-density, Golgi complex (white arrowheads), and caveolae (white arrowheads). Bars = 2 μm or 200 nm. e, f: Immunogold particle labeling of CAV-1 on ER-like membranes attached to LDs. HSC, hepatic stellate cell. Arrowheads indicate CAV-1-positive particles. Black arrowheads indicate caveolae; white arrows indicate ER-like membranes (TIF 20131 KB)
