GSE137449: Role of Cyp2b in diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

• Organsim mouse
• Type RNASEQ
• Target gene
• Project ARCHS4

To investigate the role of hepatic CYP2B in diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a Cyp2b triple knockout mouse lacking Cyp2b9, Cyp2b10, and Cyp2b13 was developed using CRISPER/Cas9. Wildtype (WT) and Cyp2b-null mice were fed a normal diet (ND) or a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined high-fat diet (CDAHFD), containing 0.1% methionine and 62% fat for 8 weeks. RNA was extracted from the livers of female and male mice from all treatment groups and used for RNA seqencing. RNAseq data demonstrated that a lack of Cyp2b was protective in female but more harmful in male mice. Hepatic gene expression revealed a higher number of phase I-III xenobiotic metabolism and inflammatory response genes were down-regulated in CDAHFD-fed WT female and Cyp2b-null male mice.
