RNA-Seq analysis of mouse Zfp92 knockout vs wild-type adult pancreatic islets
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Zfp92, a repressive KRAB domain-containing zinc-finger protein, was identified by Gene Co-expression Network analysis to be an interesting candidate gene involved in endocrine specification and maturation. We examined the role of Zfp92, a KRAB-ZFP that is highly expressed in pancreatic islets of adult mice, by analyzing global Zfp92 knockout (KO) mice. Adult Zfp92 KO animals exhibited only mild changes in glucose homeostasis and no change in islet structure, although, male KO mice exhibited decreased growth, and female KO mice exhibited increased body fat accumulation on a high fat diet. We found that Zfp92 regulates a subset of transposable elements as well as Mafb, a transcription factor involved in islet development.
