Scientific Data Images for Mouse Leptin/OB Antibody

Leptin/OB antibody in Mouse Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

Leptin/OB in Mouse Brain.

Leptin/OB was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse brain using Mouse Leptin/OB Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF498) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal cytoplasm.

Detection of Mouse Leptin/OB by Western Blot

Leptin inhibits adipocyte Tet2 expression via JAK2-STAT3 signaling pathway in adipocytes.aTet2 mRNA levels relative to 36b4 in differentiated mature adipocytes that were treated with PBS, leptin (1 μg/mL), TNF-alpha (5 ng/mL), LPS (500 ng/mL), IFN-gamma (2 ng/mL), or TGF-beta 1 (10 ng/mL) for 24 h (n = 3). b-cTet2 expression in differentiated mature adipocytes treated with leptin at various time points (b) and concentrations (c). Time points and concentrations are indicated on the graphs (n = 3). d Leptin levels in conditioned medium (CM) from iWAT and eWAT of ND-fed and HFD-fed mice (n = 4).eTet2 expression in mature adipocytes treated with control antibody (IgG) or leptin neutralizing antibody (mLeptin) for 1 h, followed by treating with CM from eWAT of ND-fed and HFD-fed mice for another 24 h (n = 3). fTet2 mRNA levels relative to 36b4 in adipocytes of iWAT and eWAT from WT and ob/ob mice (n = 5 WT, n = 6 ob/ob). g Representative immunoblot images of TET2 in adipocytes of iWAT and eWAT from the mice shown in f and densitometry analysis. beta-actin was used as a loading control (n = 3 mice/group). hTet2 expression in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with DMSO (n = 4) or AZD1480 (JAK2 inhibitor, n = 3), Ctrl-siRNA (n = 3) or JAK2-siRNA (n = 3) for 24 h, followed by treating with leptin for another 24 h. iTet2 expression in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with Ctrl-siRNA or STAT3-siRNA for 24 h, followed by treating with leptin for another 24 h (n = 3).

Background: Leptin/OB

Leptin is a protein product of the mouse obese gene. Mice with mutations in the obese gene that block the synthesis of Leptin have been found to be obese and diabetic and to have reduced activity, metabolism and body temperature. cDNA clones encoding Leptin have been isolated from human, simian, mouse, and rat cells. Mouse Leptin shares approximately 96% and 84% sequence identity with the rat and human protein, respectively. Mouse Leptin cDNA encodes a 167 amino acid residue protein with a 21 amino acid residue signal sequence that is cleaved to yield the 146 amino acid residue mature protein. The expression of Leptin mRNA has been shown to be restricted to adipose tissue.

A high-affinity receptor for Leptin (OB-R) with homology to gp130 and the G-CSF receptor has been cloned. OB-R mRNA has been shown to be expressed in the choroid plexus and in the hypothalamus. OB-R has also been identified as an isoform of B219, a sequence that is expressed in at least four isoforms in very primitive hematopoietic cell populations and in a variety of lymphohematopoietic cell lines (1-3). The possible roles of Leptin in body weight regulation, hematopoiesis and reproduction are being investigated.
