I m investigating sirtuin1 and sirtuin 2 gene expression in the 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell line. What would you recommend for protein analysis instead of western?
In the 3T3-L1 cell line then PPAR-γ and C/EBP α expression would be significant biomarkers regarding adipogenesis and very relevant to sirtuin1 and sirtuin 2. It seems to me WB analysis of PPAR-γ and C/EBP α would be relevant to your study,

if you have antibodies against respective proteins, then you can perform ELISA test by isolating the total proteins from tissue, or you can perform Immuno-histochemistry for selective locatization of protein within the tissue.
