A genome-wide landscape of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs during subcutaneous adipogenesis in pigs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preadipocyte differentiation plays a critical role in subcutaneous fat deposition in pigs. However, the roles of different RNAs, such as messenger RNAs (mRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the differentiation process of subcutaneous preadipocytes, are still largely unclear. In the present study, a transcriptome analysis, including the analysis of mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs, during different differentiation stages, namely, day 0 (D0), day 2 (D2), day 4 (D4), and day 8 (D8), of subcutaneous preadipocytes from Chinese Erhualian pigs was performed.

Results

A total of 1554, 470, 1344, 1777, and 676 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 112, 58, 95, 136, and 93 DE lncRNAs, and 902, 787, 710, 932, and 850 DE circRNAs were identified b
