Project description:Intramuscular fat deposition or marbling is essential for high quality beef. The molecular mechanism of adipogenesis in skeletal muscle remains largely unknown. In this study, we isolated Platelet-derived growth factor receptor ? (PDGFR?) positive progenitor cells from fetal bovine skeletal muscle and induced into adipocytes. Using miRNAome sequencing, we revealed that bta-miR-23a was an adipogenic miRNA mediating bovine adipogenesis in skeletal muscle. The expression of bta-miR-23a was down-regulated during differentiation of PDGFR?+ progenitor cells. Forced expression of bta-miR-23a mimics reduced lipid accumulation and inhibited the key adipogenic transcription factor peroxisome proliferative activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP?). Whereas down-regulation of bta-miR-23a by its inhibitors increased lipid accumulation and expression of C/EBP?, PPAR? and fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4). Target prediction analysis revealed that ZNF423 was a potential target of bta-miR-23a. Dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that bta-miR-23a directly targeted the 3'-UTR of ZNF423. Together, our data showed that bta-miR-23a orchestrates early intramuscular adipogeneic commitment as an anti-adipogenic regulator which acts by targeting ZNF423.

Project description:Intramuscular fat is a real challenge for the experts of animal science to improve meat quality traits. Research on the mechanism of adipogenesis provides invaluable information for the improvement of meat quality traits. This study investigated the effect of bta-miR-149-5p and its underlying mechanism on lipid metabolism in bovine adipocytes. Bovine adipocytes were differentiated and transfected with bta-miR-149-5p mimics or its negative control (NC). A total of 115 DEGs including 72 upregulated and 43 downregulated genes were identified in bovine adipocytes. The unigenes and GO term biological processes were the most annotated unigene contributor parts at 80.08%, followed by cellular component at 13.4% and molecular function at 6.7%. The KEGG pathways regulated by the DEGs were PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, MAPK signaling pathway, lipid metabolism/metabolic pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, cAMP signaling pathway, cholesterol metabolism, Wnt signaling pathway, and FoxO signaling pathway. In addition to this, the most important reactome enrichment pathways were R-BTA-373813 receptor CXCR2 binding ligands CXCL1 to 7, R-BTA-373791 receptor CXCR1 binding CXCL6 and CXCL8 ligands, R-BTA-210991 basigin interactions, R-BTA-380108 chemokine receptors binding chemokines, R-BTA-445704 calcium binding caldesmon, and R-BTA-5669034 TNFs binding their physiological receptors. Furthermore, the expression trend of the DEGs in these pathways were also exploited. Moreover, the bta-miR-149-5p significantly (p < 0.01) downregulated the mRNA levels of adipogenic marker genes such as CCND2, KLF6, ACSL1, Cdk2, SCD, SIK2, and ZEB1 in bovine adipocytes. In conclusion, our results suggest that bta-miR-149-5p regulates lipid metabolism in bovine adipocytes. The results of this study provide a basis for studying the function and molecular mechanism of the bta-miR-149-5p in regulating bovine adipogenesis.

Project description:Acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation of fatty acids. Previous studies have reported that ACOX1 was correlated with the meat quality of livestock, while the role of ACOX1 in intramuscular adipogenesis of beef cattle and its transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, gain-of-function and loss-of-function assays demonstrated that ACOX1 positively regulated the adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocytes. The C/EBPα-binding sites in the bovine ACOX1 promoter region at -1142 to -1129 bp, -831 to -826 bp, and -303 to -298 bp were identified by promoter deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) further showed that these three regions are C/EBPα-binding sites, both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that C/EBPα directly interacts with the bovine ACOX1 promoter and inhibits its transcription. Furthermore, the results from bioinformatics analysis, dual luciferase assay, site-directed mutagenesis, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting demonstrated that miR-25-3p directly targeted the ACOX1 3'UTR (3'UTR). Taken together, our findings suggest that ACOX1, regulated by transcription factor C/EBPα and miR-25-3p, promotes adipogenesis of bovine intramuscular preadipocytes via regulating peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation.

Project description:The miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster is an important regulator in cell metabolism. However, the cooperative and independent functions of this cluster in bovine adipocyte adipogenesis have not been elucidated. In this study, we found that expression of the miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster was induced during adipogenesis and this cluster acted as a negative regulator of adipogenesis. miR-27a and miR-24-2 were shown to inhibit adipogenesis by directly targeting glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial (GPAM) and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), both of which promoted adipogenesis. Meanwhile, miR-23a and miR-24-2 were shown to target decorin (DCN), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL), all of which repressed adipogenesis in this study. Thus, the miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster exhibits a non-canonical regulatory role in bovine adipocyte adipogenesis. To determine how the miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster inhibits adipogenesis while targeting anti-adipogenic genes, we identified another target gene, fibroblast growth factor 11 (FGF11), a positive regulator of adipogenesis, that was commonly targeted by the entire miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster. Our findings suggest that the miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster fine-tunes the regulation of adipogenesis by targeting two types of genes with pro- or anti-adipogenic effects. This balanced regulatory role of miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster finally repressed adipogenesis.

Project description:To elucidate the role of bta-miR-484 in adipocytes. we compared expression profiles of mRNAs in control and bta-miR-484 overexpressed adipocytes by RNA se-quencing. A total of 51 up-regulated genes and 77 down-regulated genes were detected in adipocytes overexpressing bta-miR-484. GO annotation showed that differ-entially expressed genes (DEGs） enrichment positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process, positive regulation of glucose import and other biological processes. COG classification found that DEGs are rich in Amino acid transport and metabolism, Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones, Secondary metabolites bio-synthesis, transport and catabolism, General function prediction only, Signal transduc-tion mechanisms, and other items. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in apoptosis, AMPK signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, adipocyto-kine signaling pathway, insulin secretion , PPAR signaling pathway, etc.

Project description:Sestrin-3, together with the other two members Sestrin-1 and Sestrin-2, belongs to the Sestrin family. The Sestrin protein family has been demonstrated to be involved in antioxidative, metabolic homeostasis, and even the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). However, the adipogenic regulatory role of SESN3 in adipogenesis still needs to be further explored. In this study, we demonstrated SESN3 inhibited porcine pre-adipocyte proliferation, thus suppressing its adipogenesis. Meanwhile, SESN3 has been demonstrated to inhibit Smad3 thus protecting against NASH. Further, for our previous study, we found mmu-miR-124 involved in 3T3-L1 cell adipogenesis regulation. In this study, we also identified that ssc-miR-124 inhibited porcine pre-adipocyte proliferation, thus suppressing its adipogenesis, and the SMAD3 was an inhibitor of ssc-miR-124 by binding to its promoter. Furthermore, the ssc-miR-124 targeted porcine C/EBPα and GR and thus inhibited pre-adipocyte adipogenesis. In conclusion, SESN3 inhibited SMAD3, thus improving ssc-miR124, and then suppressed C/EBPα and GR to regulate pre-adipocytes adipogenesis.

Project description:In a previous study, we found miR-10b to be more abundant in a conditioned culture medium of degenerate embryos compared to that of blastocysts. Here, we show that miR-10b mimics added to the culture medium can be taken up by embryos. This uptake results in an increase in embryonic cell apoptosis and aberrant expression of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Using several algorithms, Homeobox A1 (HOXA1) was identified as one of the potential miR-10b target genes and dual-luciferase assay confirmed HOXA1 as a direct target of miR-10b. Microinjection of si-HOXA1 into embryos also resulted in an increase in embryonic cell apoptosis and downregulation of DNMTs. Cell progression analysis using Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells (MDBKs) showed that miR-10b overexpression and HOXA1 knockdown results in suppressed cell cycle progression and decreased cell viability. Overall, this work demonstrates that miR-10b negatively influences embryo quality and might do this through targeting HOXA1 and/or influencing DNA methylation.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Short non-coding micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are post-transcriptional factors that directly regulate protein expression by degrading or inhibiting target mRNAs; however, the role of miRNAs in obesity and cardiometabolic disease remains unclarified. Based on our earlier study demonstrating that miR-150 influences lipid metabolism, we have studied effects of miR-150 on systemic metabolism and adipocyte biology. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Metabolic phenotypes including body weight, food intake, body composition, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were assessed in WT and global miR-150 KO male mice fed a high-fat diet. Molecular changes in epididymal adipose tissue were evaluated through qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS:miR-150 KO mice displayed lower body weight characterized by a reduction in % fat mass while % lean mass was increased. Lower body weight was associated with reduced food consumption and an increase in circulating leptin concentrations, as well as enhanced insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance compared with WT mice. Absence of miR-150 resulted in increased mTOR expression known to participate in increased leptin production leading to reduction of food intake. Expression of PGC-1?, another target gene of miR-150, was also increased together with upregulation of PPAR? and glycerol kinase in adipose tissue as well as other genes participating in triglyceride degradation and lipid oxidation. CONCLUSION:miR-150 KO mice showed metabolic benefits accompanied by reduced body weight, decreased energy intake, and enhanced lipid metabolism. miR-150 may represent both a biomarker and novel therapeutic target regarding obesity and insulin resistance.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are submicron vesicles released from many cell types, including adipocytes. EVs are implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-driven cardiovascular disease, although the characteristics of adipocyte-derived EVs are not well described. We sought to define the characteristics of adipocyte-derived EVs before and after adipogenesis, hypothesising that adipogenesis would affect EV structure, molecular composition and function. Using 3T3-L1 cells, EVs were harvested at day 0 and day 15 of differentiation. EV and cell preparations were visualised by electron microscopy and EVs quantified by nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). EVs were then assessed for annexin V positivity using flow cytometry; lipid and phospholipid composition using 2D thin layer chromatography and gas chromatography; and vesicular protein content by an immuno-phenotyping assay. Pre-adipogenic cells are connected via a network of protrusions and EVs at both time points display classic EV morphology. EV concentration is elevated prior to adipogenesis, particularly in exosomes and small microvesicles. Parent cells contain higher proportions of phosphatidylserine (PS) and show higher annexin V binding. Both cells and EVs contain an increased proportion of arachidonic acid at day 0. PREF-1 was increased at day 0 whilst adiponectin was higher at day 15 indicating EV protein content reflects the stage of adipogenesis of the cell. Our data suggest that EV production is higher in cells before adipogenesis, particularly in vesicles <300 nm. Cells at this time point possess a greater proportion of PS (required for EV generation) whilst corresponding EVs are enriched in signalling fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid, and markers of adipogenesis, such as PREF-1 and PPAR?.

Project description:Endometritis is a major infectious disease affecting dairy development. MicroRNAs are recognized as critical regulators of the innate immune response. However, the role and mechanism of Bta-miR-24-3p in the development of endometritis are still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Bta-miR-24-3p on the inflammatory response triggered by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and to clarify the possible mechanism. LPS-treated bovine endometrial epithelial cells (BEECs) were cultured to investigate the role of Bta-miR-24-3p. The expression levels of Bta-miR-24-3p were downregulated, and galectin-9 (LGALS9) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The LPS-induced inflammatory response was assessed by the elevated secretion of inflammatory cytokines measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and TLR4 pathway was assessed by Western blot. The interaction between Bta-miR-24-3p and LGALS9 was validated by bioinformatics analysis and a luciferase reporter assay. LPS-induction in BEECs with Bta-miR-24-3p was overexpressed leads inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines, LGALS9 expression, and TLR4/NF-ĸB pathway deactivation. Knockdown of LGALS9 inhibited the LPS-induced inflammatory response in BEECs. LGALS9 was validated as a target of Bta-miR-24-3p. Cloned overexpression of LGALS9 failed to alter the effect of Bta-miR-24-3p on the inflammatory response in BEECs. Overall, Bta-miR-24-3p attenuated the LPS-induced inflammatory response via targeting LGALS9. The immunotherapeutic stabilisation of Bta-miR-24-3p could give a therapeutic option for endometritis and other disorders commonly associated with endometritis, suggesting a novel avenue for endometritis treatment.
