Abstract

Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) coupled to qPCR or sequencing is a crucial experiment to determine direct transcriptional regulation under the control of specific transcriptional factors or co-regulators at loci-specific or pan-genomic levels. Here we provide a reliable method for processing ChIP from adipocytes or frozen adipose tissue collection, isolation of nuclei, cross-linking of protein-DNA complexes, chromatin shearing, immunoprecipitation, and DNA purification. We also discuss critical steps for optimizing the experiment to perform a successful ChIP in lipid-rich cells/tissues.
