Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Human subcutaneous fat-derived preadipocytes were transduced with control, full-length, or truncated EBF2 . BODIPY (red), GFP (green), DAPI (blue). ( B ) BODIPY quantification ( n = 2). ( C ) Venn diagram of RNA-seq of differentially expressed genes. WT, EBF2; Mut, EBF2 (1-164). Mut, mutation. ( D and E ) Heatmaps of ECM and cytokine receptor genes. ( F and G ) CyTOF images of the patient’s neck WAT showing DNA, collagen I, CD34, CD15, CD11c, and CD68. ( H and I ) Immunofluorescence images of patient’s and control WAT depots. Scale bars: 100 μm ( A and F – I ). ** P < 0.01, by 1-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test ( B ). Data indicate the mean ± SEM. Each dot represents a single image.
Article Snippet: Ebf2 E165/X -KI mice were generated on a C57BL/6J background (strain no. 000664, The Jackson Laboratory) using CRISPR/Cas9 technology at the University of Michigan Transgenic Core.
