Knocking-down either STAT5B or MOF can promote adipocyte differentiation in 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes.
STAT5B modulates MOF expression by binding to its promoter.
Over-expression MOF inhibits C/EBPα promoter trans-activation.
STAT5B negatively modulates adipogenesis via regulating MOF.
STAT5B and MOF is negative regulator of adipocyte differentiation.
