“…MiR‑214 was demonstrated to directly interact with the 3'‑UTR of the β‑catenin gene CTNNB1 during osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem (PDLSC) [ 44 ]. And miR-214 was also demonstrated to target CTNNB1 in human cervical and colorectal cancer cells [ 45 ] and 3T3-L1 pre-adipocyte [ 46 ]. Our result primarily verified circ-PLXNA1/miR-214/CTNNB1 in duck adipocyte but had little influence on triglyceride content and the adipogenic capacity of preadipocytes.…”

Adipocytes are derived from pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells through adipogenesis. Pre-adipocyte differentiation in poultry greatly influences fat deposition and meat quality. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have an important function in cancer and some differentiation processes. Herein, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing was used to detect circRNAs present in cherry valley duck pre-adipocyte and adipocyte differentiation over 3 days. We identified 9,311 circRNAs and 141 differentially expressed circRNAs. Sequencing results were verified through qRT-PCR using seven randomly selected circRNAs, and competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were exhibited by ten important circRNAs in duck adipocyte differentiation. circRNA plexin A1 (circ-PLXNA1) was detected in duck adipocytes and mainly expressed in adipose, leg muscle and liver. Inhibition of circ-PLXNA1 limited the differentiation of duck adipocyte. There were four corresponding miRNAs for circ-PLXNA1 and 313 target genes for those miRNAs. CeRNA“circ-PLXNA1/miR-214/CTNNB1 axis” was focused and verified by a dual-luciferase reporter experiment. After co-transfection of cells with si-circ-PLXNA1 and miR-214 mimics, the expression level of CTNNB1 was down-regulated, triglyceride content and the adipogenic capacity of preadipocytes decreased. While there were no significant change after si-CTNNB1 transfection. All these results provide further insight into the circRNAs, especially for circ-PLXNA1 in duck adipocyte differentiation.

“…In turn, the type and content of bovine adipose tissue directly affects meat tenderness and flavor [22]. miRNAs are important regulators of adipogenesis and lipid metabolism, with some of these miRNAs acting in a pro-adipogenic capacity (e. g., miR-214-3p, miR-20a-5p, and miR-144-3p) [23][24][25], whereas others are anti-adipogenic (e. g., miR-18b-3p, miR-22, and miR-27) [26][27][28].…”

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, single-stranded, noncoding RNAs ~21 to ~23 nucleotides in length and have become a popular research topic in recent years due to their regulation of gene expression and many physiological processes, including fat metabolism; however, the precise functional mechanisms underlying their regulation of fat metabolism are not fully understood. Here, we identified miR-381, which specifically targets the 3′ untranslated region (3′ UTR) of potassium channel tetramerization-domain-containing 15 (KCTD15) , and verified the mechanism regulating its expression and participation in adipogenesis. We used a dual luciferase-reporter assay and transfection-mediated miR-381 overexpression and inhibition in Yanbian yellow cattle preadipocytes to investigate the role of miR-381 in adipogenesis. The results showed that miR-381 directly targets the 3′ UTR of KCTD15 and downregulates its expression. Additionally, miR-381 overexpression using an miRNA mimic promoted triglyceride accumulation and upregulated adipogenic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and CCAAT enhancer-binding protein α (C/EBPα) at both the protein and mRNA levels, whereas miR-381 inhibition produced the opposite effect. These results indicated that miR-381 regulates the differentiation of Yanbian yellow cattle preadipocytes by inhibiting KCTD15 expression, thereby highlighting the importance of miRNA-mediated regulation of adipogenesis. Furthermore, our findings suggested that miR-381 and its target gene(s) might represent new targets for investigating intramuscular fat deposits in cattle and treating human obesity.

Background Granulosa cells (GCs) proliferation and estradiol synthesis significantly affect follicular development. The miR-214-3p expression in the ovarian tissues of high-yielding sows is higher than that in low-yielding sows, indicating that miR-214-3p may be involved in sow fertility. However, the functions and mechanisms of miR-214-3p on GCs are unclear. This study focuses on miR-214-3p in terms of the effects on GCs proliferation and estradiol synthesis. Results Our findings revealed that miR-214-3p promotes proliferation and inhibits estradiol synthesis in porcine GCs. MiR-214-3p can increase the percentage of S-phase cells, the number of EdU labeled positive cells, and cell viability. However, E2 concentration was reduced after miR-214-3p agomir treatment. We also found that miR-214-3p up-regulates the expression of cell cycle genes including cell cycle protein B (Cyclin B), cell cycle protein D (Cyclin D), cell cycle protein E (Cyclin E), and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) at the transcription and translation levels, but down-regulates the mRNA and protein levels of cytochrome P450 family 11 subfamily A member 1 (CYP11A1), cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1 (CYP19A1), and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) (i.e., the key enzymes in estradiol synthesis). On-line prediction, bioinformatics analysis, a luciferase reporter assay, RT-qPCR, and Western blot results showed that the target genes of miR-214-3p in proliferation and estradiol synthesis are Mfn2 and NR5A1, respectively. Conclusions Our findings suggest that miR-214-3p plays an important role in the functional regulation of porcine GCs and therefore may be a target gene for regulating follicular development.
