Summary

Automatic Translation

This protocol presents the use of CRISPR SunTag-p65-HSF1 (SPH) in adipocytes (AdipoSPH) as an alternative strategy to adeno-associated virus (AAV) for investigating beige fat biology. In vivo injection of AAV-carrying sgRNA targeting the endogenous Prdm16 gene is sufficient to induce beige fat development and enhance the thermogenic gene program.
