The duck embryo fibroblast cell line CCL-141, which is currently the only commercialized duck cell line, has been underexplored in adipogenesis research. (1) Background: This study establishes an experimental protocol to induce adipogenesis in CCL-141 cells, addressing the importance of understanding gene functions in this process. (2) Methods: Chicken serum, fatty acids, insulin, and all-trans retinoic acid were used to treat CCL-141 cells, with adipogenesis confirmed by Oil Red O staining and gene expression quantification. CRISPR/Cas9 technology was applied to knockout PPARγ, and the resulting adipogenic phenotype was assessed. (3) Results: The treatments promoted adipogenesis, and the knockout of PPARγ validated the cell line’s utility for gene function studies. (4) Conclusions: CCL-141 cells are a suitable model for investigating duck adipogenesis, contributing to the understanding of regulatory factors in this biological process.
