About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0293
Species: human
Position : chr10:88950862-88952862
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Obesity
Pubmed ID:  29849691
Enhancer experiment: RT-PCR,western blot,oil red O staining,High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Enhancer experiment description: We determined the expression levels of the adipogenesis-related proteins by RT-PCR and western blotting in HFD-induced obese mice. The GLE dose-dependently inhibited 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and intracellular lipid accumulation in differentiated adipocytes. Further, body weight gain and fat accumulation were significantly lower in the GLE-treated HFD mice than in the untreated HFD mice. GLE treatment suppressed the expression of adipogenic genes such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) ?, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) ?, fatty acid synthase (aP2), and fatty acid synthase (FAS). These results suggest that the GLE inhibits adipocyte differentiation and intracellular lipid accumulation by downregulating the adipogenic gene expression both in vitro and in vivo.
