Adipogenesis plays an important role in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis and is inextricably related to obesity. Several studies have highlighted the relevance of microRNAs in adipocyte differentiation, but the contributions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are still largely uncharacterized. Here, we determined that lncRNA MIR31HG is related to adipocyte lineage commitment. We demonstrated that knockdown of MIR31HG inhibited adipocyte differentiation, whereas overexpression of MI ...[more]
