A coculture model using two CC cell lines (HT-29 and SW480) and THP-1 cell line-derived M0 and M2-like macrophages was used to evaluate NOTCH4-GATA4-IRG1 pathway-related gene expression following treatment with obesity-related hormones (leptin, adiponectin) and itaconate derivatives. Here, GATA4 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
