Identification and screening of circular RNAs during adipogenic differentiation of ovine preadipocyte by RNA-seq.

ABSTRACT: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in preadipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis. However, little is known about genome-wide identification, expression profile, and function of circRNAs in sheep. To investigate the role of circRNAs during ovine adipogenic differentiation, the subcutaneous adipose tissue of Tibetan rams was collected in June 2022. Subsequently, the preadipocytes were immediately isolated from collected adipose tissue and then induced to begin differentiation. The adipocytes samples cultured on days 0, 2, and 8 of preadipocytes differentiation were used to perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to construct the expression profiles of circRNAs. Subsequently, the function of differentially expressed circRNAs was investigated
