Fig. 1From: Long noncoding RNA XIST regulates brown preadipocytes differentiation and combats high-fat diet induced obesity by targeting C/EBPαXIST expression in human adipose tissues and preadipocytes. A–D qRT-PCR analyses of XIST expression in human perirenal and subcutaneous adipose tissues. E mRNA level of XIST in white (3T3-L1) preadipocytes. F–G qRT-PCR analyses of XIST and indicated genes in brown preadipocytes. H–I Subcellular localization of brown preadipocytes. Male: male patients, n = 6; Female: female patients, n = 5. peri-N: perirenal adipose tissue; sub-Q: subcutaneous adipose tissue. Day 0: undifferentiated adipocytes; day 8: differentiated adipocytes. *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01. Data are represented as mean ± SEMBack to article page
