Outline of Final Research Achievements

KLF14 has been proposed to act as a master regulator of key metabolic genes in adipose tissue. Cis-regulatory SNPs in the KLF14 locus are associated with susceptibility to multiple metabolic diseases including T2D. We aimed to elucidate physiological functions of KLF14 in the white adipose tissue (WAT), and to establish materials and methods to study molecular mechanisms underlying imprinted gene expression of Mest and Klf14 genes, which are located within a 200kb genomic interval.
We revealed that KLF14 involves in controlling obesity-induced inflammation in WAT by analyzing the phenotype of Klf14 knockout mice. We also successfully established mouse lines with a targeted deletion of the germline differentially methylated region at the Mest promoter region, which is expected to play a central role in the regulation of imprinted expression of Klf14.
