摘要:

脂肪组织与猪肉品质密切相关,是影响猪胴体品质的一大因素。了解猪脂肪组织的生长发育及代谢调控机制,对于畜牧生产及疾病治疗具有重大意义。miRNAs(microRNAs)是一类内源性的、非编码的、长度为18~24 nt的小分子RNA,其主要通过调控基因表达的转录后水平起作用。大量研究表明,miRNAs参与调控脂肪细胞分化、脂肪形成、脂肪酸代谢、胆固醇合成等多个生命过程。然而目前已报道的猪miRNAs仅有326个,且miRNAs调控猪脂肪发育的研究十分欠缺。本文对近年来猪脂肪相关miRNAs的挖掘和鉴定研究工作进行回顾,同时也关注了miRNAs调控猪脂肪发育的研究。

Abstract:

Adipose tissue,an important factor that affects the porcine carcass quality,is closely related with the pork quality.Understanding the regulation mechanisms of adipose tissue development and fat metabolism are important to the animal husbandry production and disease treatment.miRNAs(microRNAs) are a class of endogenous,non-coding,small RNA molecules,which are typically 18-24 nucleotides(nt) in length.miRNAs play an important role in the regulation of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.A large number of evidences demonstrated that miRNAs have influence on diverse biological processes,such as preadipocyte differentiation,adipogenesis,fatty acid metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis.However,only 326 porcine miRNAs has been currently reported and rare studies could be read about the porcine miRNAs that regulate the fat development.Herein,it is reviewed that the studies on the discovery and identification of fat-associated miRNAs in pigs in this paper,and the progress on the research of porcine miRNAs that regulate fat development are also summarized.

Key words: pig, fat development, miRNAs, regulation mechanism
