RNA-Seq analyses in bta-miR-484 transfected adipocyte

To elucidate the role of bta-miR-484 in adipocytes. we compared expression profiles of mRNAs in control and bta-miR-484 overexpressed adipocytes by RNA se-quencing. A total of 51 up-regulated genes and 77 down-regulated genes were detected in adipocytes overexpressing bta-miR-484. GO annotation showed that differ-entially expressed genes (DEGs） enrichment positive regulation of glycogen biosynthetic process, positive regulation of glucose import and other biological processes. COG classification found that DEGs are rich in Amino acid transport and metabolism, Posttranslational modification, protein turnover, chaperones, Secondary metabolites bio-synthesis, transport and catabolism, General function prediction only, Signal transduc-tion mechanisms, and other items. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were enriched in apoptosis, AMPK signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, adipocyto-kine signaling pathway, insulin secretion , PPAR signaling pathway, etc. Adipocytes were isolated from bovine subcutaneous fat. One group was transfected with bta-miR-484 agomir, and the other group was transfected with bta-miR-484 agomir NC. Adipocytes transfected for 48h were collected for RNA extraction and analysis.
