Abstract (original English)

Background Excessive abdominal fat deposition in commercial broilers presents an obstacle to profitable meat quality, feed utilization, and reproduction. Abdominal fat deposition depends on the proliferation of preadipocytes and their maturation into adipocytes, which involves a cascade of regulatory molecules. Accumulating evidence has shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as post-transcriptional regulators of adipogenic differentiation in mammals. However, the miRNA-mediated molecular mechanisms underlying abdominal fat deposition in chickens are still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the biological functions and regulatory mechanism of miRNAs in chicken abdominal adipogenesis. Results We established a chicken model of abdominal adipocyte differentiation and analyzed miRNA and mRNA expression in abdominal adipocytes at different stages of differentiation (0, 12, 48, 72, and 120 h). A total of 217 differentially expressed miRNAs (DE-miRNAs) and 3520 differentially expressed genes were identified. Target prediction of DE-miRNAs and functional enrichment analysis revealed that the differentially expressed targets were significantly enriched in lipid metabolism-related signaling pathways, including the PPAR signaling and MAPK signaling pathways. A candidate miRNA, gga-miR-106-5p, exhibited decreased expression during the proliferation and differentiation of abdomi
