MiR-330-5p negatively regulates ovine preadipocyte differentiation by targeting branched-chain aminotransferase 2

The differentiation of preadipocytes into adipose tissues is tightly regulated by various factors including micro RNA s and cytokines. This article aims to study the effect of miR‐330‐5p on expression of BCAT 2 in ovine preadipocytes. Ovine preadipocytes were isolated, and we found that the miR‐330‐5p expression decreased gradually during the early differentiation of ovine preadipocytes, while BCAT 2 expression increased. BCAT 2 was identified...
