Abstract

Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in energy metabolism. Several studies have shown that circular RNA (circRNA) is involved in the regulation of fat development and lipid metabolism. However, little is known about their involvement in the adipogenic differentiation of ovine stromal vascular fractions (SVFs). Here, based on previous sequencing data and bioinformatics analysis, a novel circINSR was identified in sheep, which acts as a sponge to promote miR-152 in inhibiting the adipogenic differentiation of ovine SVFs. The interactions between circINSR and miR-152 were examined using bioinformatics, luciferase assays, and RNA immunoprecipitation. Of note, we found that circINSR was involved in adipogenic differentiation via the miR-152/mesenchyme homeobox 2 (MEOX2) pathway. MEOX2 inhibited adipogenic differentiation of ovine SVFs and miR-152 inhibited the expression of MEOX2. In other words, circINSR directly isolates miR-152 in the cytoplasm and inhibits its ability to promote adipogenic differentiation of ovine SVFs. In summary, this study revealed the role of circINSR in the adipogenic differentiation of ovine SVFs and its regulatory mechanisms, providing a reference for further interpretation of the development of ovine fat and its regulatory mechanisms.
