Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled to qPCR or sequencing is a crucial experiment to determine direct transcriptional regulation under the control of specific transcriptional factors or co-regulators at loci-specific or pan-genomic levels.Here we provide a reliable method for processing ChIP from adipocytes or frozen adipose tissue collection, isolation of nuclei, cross-linking of protein-DNA complexes, chromatin shearing, immunoprecipitation, and DNA purification. We also discuss critical steps for optimizing the experiment to perform a successful ChIP in lipid-rich cells/tissues.

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels are crucial for detecting and transmitting nociceptive stimuli. Inflammatory pain is associated with sustained increases in TRPA1 and TRPV1 expression in primary sensory neurons. However, the epigenetic mechanisms driving this upregulation remain unknown.

Storage proteins (SPs) are hexameric macromolecular protein, an important component of insect serum protein, which plays a variety of roles in insect metamorphosis and development. However, their regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Our previous studies revealed that the expression of SPs is regulated by nutritional signals and identified FoxO as a negative regulator of SPs in the silkworm Bombyx mori (B.

Background: Cervical cancer is a major health burden in females worldwide, available studies indicated that sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) is closely related to the malignant phenotypes of multiple cancers including cervical cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms were blurred.
Experimental Procedures: A bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate the clinical correlation between SOX2 and cervical cancer.

Skeletal muscle plays a significant role in both local and systemic energy metabolism. The current investigation aims to explore the role of the Bambi gene in skeletal muscle, focusing on its implications for muscle hypertrophy and systemic metabolism. We hypothesize that skeletal muscle-specific deletion of Bambi induces muscle hypertrophy, improves metabolic performance, and activates thermogenic adipocytes via the reprogramming of progenitor of iWAT, offering potential therapeutic strategies for metabolic syndromes.
