Abstract (original English)

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered to play a key role in adipogenesis, while the role of lncRNA human leukocyte antigen complex group 11 (HCG11) in adipocyte differentiation has not been studied clearly. We used human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAdMSCs) to establish a model of cell differentiation in vitro and found that expression of lncRNA HCG11 was decreased during adipogenesis through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Then, hAdMSCs were transfected with pcDNA-HCG11 or HCG11-shRNA (sh-HCG11); the adipogenic marker proteins were detected by Western blot, and the activity of lipogenesis enzymes was detected by spectrophotometry. The expression of CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein α, fatty acid-binding protein, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 and the levels of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase and fatty acid synthase FAS were significantly downregulated in hAdMSCs at different stages transfected with pcDNA-HCG11, while knockdown of lncRNA HCG11 promoted adipocyte differentiation. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that miR-204-5p was a potential target gene of HCG11, which was confirmed by luciferase reporter gene analysis and RNA pull-down analysis. In addition, miR-204-5p directly targeting the 3'-untranslated region of SIRT1 was also predicted by StarBase and verified by luciferase reporter gene analysis. Enforc
