Identification of Long Non-Coding RNA-Associated Competing Endogenous RNA Network in the Differentiation of Chicken Preadipocytes.

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence indicates that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of cell differentiation by acting as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). However, the regulatory mechanisms of lncRNA and the lncRNA-associated ceRNA network involved in adipogenic differentiation of chicken preadipocytes remain elusive. Here, we first constructed the chicken preadipocyte in vitro induction model. Then, we identified differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs), miRNAs (DEMis), and mRNAs (DEMs) between differentiated and undifferentiated preadipocytes. Furthermore, we constructed the lncRNA associated ceRNA network by gene expression correlation analysis and target prediction of DELs, DEMis, and DEMs. Finally, we determined twelve candidate lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions from the
