MIR221HG Is a Novel Long Noncoding RNA that Inhibits Bovine Adipocyte Differentiation.

ABSTRACT: Adipogenesis is a complicated but precisely orchestrated process mediated by a series of transcription factors. Our previous study has identified a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that was differentially expressed during bovine adipocyte differentiation. Because this lncRNA overlaps with miR-221 in the genome, it was named miR-221 host gene (MIR221HG). The purpose of this study was to clone the full length of MIR221HG, detect its subcellular localization, and determine the effects of MIR221HG on bovine adipocyte differentiation. The 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) and 3' RACE analyses demonstrated that MIR221HG is a transcript of 1064 nucleotides, is located on the bovine X chromosome, and contains a single exon. Bioinformatics analyses suggested that MIR221HG is an lncRNA and
