Single-nucleus transcriptional and chromatin accessibility profiling of mouse hypothalamic LepRb neurons reveals cell type-specific cis-regulatory elements linked to human obesity
2025-10-07
Abstract excerpt
Leptin receptor-expressing hypothalamic neurons (LepR Hypo ) are key regulators of energy balance, yet a comprehensive, cell type-resolved, chromatin accessibility map of these neurons is lacking. We profiled ∼20,000 LepR Hypo nuclei using single-nucleus multiome (snRNA-seq/snATAC-seq), identifying 39 transcriptionally and epigenetically distinct clusters, including AgRP (two subtypes), Pomc (two subtypes), Foxb...
