The cholestasis frequently occurs in patients with inflammatory processes. However, the mechanisms of inflammation in inducing cholestasis are still unclear. Here, by using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cholestasis mouse models, we found that most genes encoding enzymes responsible for bile acid ...
We identified the target genes of FTO ("fat mass and obesity associated") in primary cultures of human skeletal muscle cells using adenoviral vectors expressing FTO or GFP and oligonucleotide microarrays. Human myotubes were prepared from 4 different skeletal muscle biopsies. After differe...
control RNA and FTO-IT1 RNA and their interacting proteins were pulled down by biotin-streptavidin beads to see the interacting protein of FTO-IT1 RNA.
To gain insight into FTO function, we knocked down and overexpressed FTO in HEK293 cells.Genetrail analyses of expression profiles pointed to the RNA splicing and processing machinery. Intriguingly, using immunocytochemistry and confocal laser scanning microscopy, we observed strong enrichment of FT...
Purpose: The goals of this study are to investigate the mRNAs that bind to the FTO protein in the white fat tissue from mice. Methods: 1. White fat from CAG promoter driven transgenic Flag-tagged FTO mice were extracted with RNA protected. 2. Flag-FTO proteins were immunoprecipitated with control I...
In this study, we aimed to examine the changes in gene expression that occur in FTO over expressing mice in order to gain more insight into the underlying mechanisms by which FTO influences body weight and adiposity
Genome-wide association studies in diverse populations have reproducibly associated variants within introns of FTO with increased risk for obesity and type-2 diabetes.While the molecular mechanisms linking these noncoding variants with obesity are not immediately obvious, subsequent studies in mice ...
