Reproductive ability, especially prolificacy, impacts sheep profitability. Hu sheep, a unique Chinese breed, is recognized for its high prolificacy (HP), early sexual maturity, and year-round estrus. However, little known about the molecular mechanisms underlying HP in sheep. To explore potential mRNAs long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved we performed an ovarian genome-wide analysis of lncRNAs during follicular stage using (litter size = 3; three consecutive lambings) low (LP, litter 1;...

Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) have been identified as important regulators of testis development; however, their expression patterns and roles in sheep are not yet clear. Thus, we used stranded specific RNA-seq to profile the transcriptome (lncRNAs mRNAs) premature mature sheep. Hormone levels index were examined, histological analyses performed at five stages development, 5-day-old (D5), 3-month-old (3M), 6-month-old (6M), 9-month-old (9M), 2-year-old (2Y), results which indicate a...

Long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) have been identified as important regulators in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis associated with sheep prolificacy. However, their expression pattern and potential roles pituitary are yet unclear. To explore mRNAs lncRNAs that regulate of genes involved prolificacy, we used stranded specific RNA-seq to profile transcriptome (lncRNA mRNA) high prolificacy (genotype FecB BB, litter size = 3; H) low B+; 1; L). Our results showed 57 differentially expressed...

Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) exerts physiological effects in mammals through its conversion to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). In this study, we established experimental models of colitis by mixing drinking water C57BL/6J mice with dextran sodium sulphate (DSS), and then fed them the same concentration NMN or at time. After treatment, observed improved morphology inflamed intestines, slightly restored length colon, barrier function reduced proinflammatory factors expression...

Abstract Spermatogenesis can be affected by nutrition, which operates through normal physiological processes changing the testicular mass and hormone levels profoundly. However, little is known regarding how testis development regulated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA). In this study, we investigated effects of high-grain (HG) feeding on during sexual maturation mediated lncRNA. The HG diet group showed an increase in growth (GH), insulin-like factor-1 (IGF-1) testosterone (T) levels, number...

In mammals, their proper development during the early cleavage stages strongly relies on gene products newly transcribed by zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been characterized as key regulators of ZGA process in mice and human. However, stage has not yet identified epigenetic regulations remain largely unknown goats. Here, we show that occurred at 8-cell During ZGA, trimethylation H3K9 was dynamically changed but maintained strong staining arrested embryos....

As an important type of noncoding RNA molecules, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as versatile players in various biological processes. However, little is known about lncRNA regulators during sheep muscle growth. To explore functional lncRNAs growth, we systematically investigated using strand-specific Ribo-Zero sequencing at three key developmental stages Hu sheep. A total 6924 were obtained, and the differentially expressed genes screened from (control vs. experiment) fetus lamb, lamb...

Abstract Adipose tissue development is regulated by a serial of developmental signaling pathways. The Hippo pathway novel cascade closely associated with adipogenesis. While most components had been verified that have vital role in preadipocytes proliferation and differentiation, little known about the function Yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) mammalian adipose development. Therefore, we investigated YAP1 ovine vitro vivo experiments. We observed adipocyte size subcutaneous increased...

Ythdf2 is known to mediate mRNA degradation in an m6A-dependent manner, and it has been shown play a role skeletal muscle differentiation. Recently, was also found bind m6A-modified precursor miRNAs regulate their maturation. However, remains unknown whether this mechanism related the regulation of myogenesis by Ythdf2. Here, we observed that knockdown significantly suppressed myotube formation impacted expression during myogenic Through integrated analysis miRNA sequencing data, miR-378...
