Quantitative expression analysis revealed that silencing H19 significantly inhibited the expression of most of the genes involved in lipid synthesis and storage, such as Gpam, Mogat, Fasn, Acaca, Apoc3, Srebp, Plin3, Lipe, Ctnnb1 and Mlxipl, at 36 hours after Ad‐siH19 infection although elevated expression of Gpam, Plin2 and Scd1 was found at 72 hours after Ad‐siH19 infection (Figure 3B panels a and b). This evidence concerns the gene MLXIPL and infection.
