Effects of Hsd11b1 overexpressing in mc3T3-e1 pre-osteoblastic cell lines under glucocorticoid excess (ATAC-Seq)
To explore the mechanism by which osteoblastic 11ß-HSD1 regulates bone formation and glucose handling, we transfected the mouse MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells with a plasmid carrying the exogenous Hsd11b1 or EGFP gene to construct the 11ß-HSD1-overexpressed and control osteoblastic cells (hereafter MC3T3-HSD1 and MC3T3-GFP cells), respectively. After incubating with 11-DHC,we then employed  assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) to examine the gene expression profile between MC3T3-HSD1 and MC3T3-GFP cells.
