Suppression of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 with RNA interference substantially attenuates 3T3-L1 adipogenesis
12 Dec 2007
Abstract excerpt
11beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1), which regulates the local level of glucocorticoids, has been suggested to be involved in the development of obesity. A definitive functional role for 11beta-HSD1 in adipogenesis, however, remains to be established. We developed 3T3-L1 cell lines stably transfected with a small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting 11beta-HSD1. A shRNA containing two nucleotide...
