“…Novel miRNAs were identified through high‐throughput sequencing and microarray analysis in animals (Ambros, 2004). Previous literature has confirmed the role of miR‐709 (H. Chen et al, 2014), miR‐448 (Kinoshita et al, 2010), miR‐185 (Ning et al, 2017), miR‐130 (E. K. Lee et al, 2011), miR‐27a/b (Kang et al, 2013; Lin, Gao, Alarcon, Ye, & Yun, 2009), miR‐23a (Huang et al, 2016; Shen et al, 2016), miR‐21a (Xie, Song, & Li, 2016), and let‐7 (Sun, Fu, Bookout, Kliewer, & Mangelsdorf, 2009) in the reduction of lipogenesis through negative regulation of adipocyte differentiation, whereas miR‐21 (An et al, 2016; Kang et al, 2013), miR‐26b (G. Li et al, 2017), miR‐143 (Yi et al, 2011), miR‐148 (Shi et al, 2015), miR‐183 (C. Chen, Xiang, Peng, Peng, & Jiang, 2014), and miR‐425 (Qi et al, 2019) positively regulated adipocyte differentiation. In the present study, the function of bta‐miR‐149‐5p was investigated; at first, the spatiotemporal expression level of bta‐miR‐149‐5p in different bovine tissues showed greater expression level in fat tissue after rumen and lungs tissues.…”
