Obesity Single Gene Editing Service

Inquiry

Overview

Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease and is regulated by complex interactions between genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. Understanding the mechanism of action of each gene type in obesity helps to understand better the causes of obesity and design targeted obesity treatment and intervention strategies.

Targeted Gene Editing for Obesity Solutions

Protheragen provides a one-stop obesity single gene editing service, including screening and identification of target genes, gene editing, validation, and detailed analysis of results. Our professional service team ensures the high-quality completion of each project, providing high-quality research tools for Obesity Research and strong support for pharmaceutical development.

Selection and Identification of Target Genes

We screen and identify genes that are directly related to obesity, such as genes related to fat metabolism, energy expenditure, and appetite regulation. After that, we select the appropriate editing method according to the characteristics of the target genes and editing needs, and confirm the editing sites, such as knockout, replacement, or insertion.

Gene Editing

We culture the target cells (e.g., adipocytes, stem cells, etc.) and apply gene editing technology to edit them. The effect of gene editing is verified by sequencing, PCR, and other methods to determine whether the gene is edited successfully. Animal gene editing model construction also involves screening, mating, and obtaining stable lines.

Validation

We use RT-PCR, western blot, etc., to analyze the gene expression level, each metabolic parameter, behavior, body weight, and body fat content, and others in order to analyze the phenotypic changes after gene editing.

Results: In this study, the researchers have established a method for gene knockout of preadipocytes from human adipose tissue using electroporation. The method also has a marginal efficiency of at least 90% and does not require selective clonal isolation or editing of the cells. To validate the protocol, they knocked out the FKBP5 and PPARG genes and analyzed the phenotypes after knockout. It was found that PPARG knockout prevented differentiation into adipocytes, whereas FKBP5 knockout did not affect adipogenesis but significantly altered the effect of glucocorticoids on adipocyte glucose metabolism. This study provides support for analyzing the role of genes in obesity pathology using primary human preadipocytes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What data can single-gene editing provide for obesity research?

    Single gene editing can help provide insights into the functions of various obesity potential genes in metabolism, adipogenesis, etc., their interactions with environmental factors, and the biological pathways involved in obesity, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of obesity. Gene therapy has great potential in the fight against obesity. Single-gene editing also provides an opportunity to explore the role of gene therapy in the treatment of obesity and related complications.

  2. How do you verify that gene editing is successful?

    We validate it through a variety of methods, including PCR amplification and sequencing, and gene expression level detection. Our researchers analyze the success of gene validation by analyzing whether the intended editing of the target gene sequence has occurred, the efficiency and specificity of the editing, and whether there are changes in gene expression.

Protheragen has a highly theoretical and practical R&D team that is capable of utilizing cutting-edge gene editing methods to achieve precise and efficient editing of individual genes.
