Research summary

This study investigates the role of NLRC5 in metabolic regulation. Female Nlrc5<sup>−/−</sup> mice subjected to a high-fat diet exhibited increased weight gain and adiposity compared to wild-type controls. Mechanistically, NLRC5 enhances the expression of PPARγ target genes, such as FABP4, through interaction with co-regulators like Sin3A and NELFB, highlighting its role in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism.

Key outcome of the study

NLRC5 deficiency leads to increased adiposity in female mice on a high-fat diet, associated with impaired regulation of PPARγ target genes. NLRC5 interacts with transcriptional co-regulators Sin3A and NELFB, influencing adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism.

Mouse model

Nlrc5(−/−) (NLRC5 Knockout) mouse model developed by genOway, featuring a targeted deletion of the Nlrc5 gene to study its function in metabolic processes.
