N6-methyladenosine (mA) is the most prevalent and abundant type of internal post-transcriptional RNA modification in eukaryotic cells. is a methylation modifying enzyme, which can directly or indirectly affect biological processes, such as RNA degradation, translation and splicing. In addition, it was found that 67% of 3'-UTR regions containing mA sites had at least one miRNA binding site, and the number of mA at 3'-UTR sites was closely related to the binding sites of miRNA. With the improvement of human living standards, obesity has become a very serious and urgent problem. The essence of obesity is the accumulation of excess fat. Exploring the origin and development mechanisms of adipocyte from the perspective of fat deposition has always been a hotspot in the field of adipocyte research. The aim of the present review is to focus on regulating fat deposition through mRNA/adipocyte differentiation axis and pri-miRNA/pre-miRNA/target genes/adipocyte differentiation and to provide a theoretical basis according to the currently available literature for further exploring this association. This review may provide new insights for obesity, fat deposition disease and molecular breeding.
N6-甲基腺嘌呤(mA)是真核细胞中最普遍且丰富的内部转录后RNA修饰类型。 是一种甲基化修饰酶,可直接或间接影响诸如RNA降解、翻译和剪接等生物学过程。此外,发现含有mA位点的3'-UTR区域中有67%至少有一个miRNA结合位点,并且3'-UTR位点处的mA数量与miRNA的结合位点密切相关。随着人类生活水平的提高,肥胖已成为一个非常严重且紧迫的问题。肥胖的本质是多余脂肪的积累。从脂肪沉积的角度探索脂肪细胞的起源和发育机制一直是脂肪细胞研究领域的热点。本综述的目的是聚焦于 通过mRNA/脂肪细胞分化轴以及pri-miRNA/pre-miRNA/靶基因/脂肪细胞分化来调节脂肪沉积,并根据现有文献为进一步探索这种关联提供理论依据。本综述可能为肥胖、脂肪沉积疾病和分子育种提供新的见解。
