DNA Methylation Suppresses Leptin Gene in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes.

DNA Methylation Suppresses Leptin Gene in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes.

Leptin is a key regulator of energy intake and expenditure. This peptide hormone is expressed in mouse white adipose tissue, but hardly expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Using bisulfite sequencing, we found that CpG islands in the leptin promoter are highly methylated in 3T3-L1cells. 5-azacytidine, an...
