CircRNA Profiling Reveals an Abundant circFUT10 that Promotes Adipocyte Proliferation and Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation via Sponging let-7.

ABSTRACT: Adipose development is regulated by a series of complex processes, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including circular RNAs (circRNAs), play important roles in regulating proliferation and differentiation of adipocytes. In this study, we profiled circRNA expression in cattle fat tissue during calf and adult developmental stages and detected 14,274 circRNA candidates. Some circRNAs are differentially expressed between two developmental stages. We characterized circFUT10, named for its host gene FUT10, a highly expressed and abundant circRNA. Luciferase screening, an RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay, quantitative real-time PCR, and western blotting assays indicated that circFUT10 directly binds let-7c/let-e, and PPARGC1B (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivat
