Research overview

In conclusion, this study revealed that the lncHLEF could promote hepatic lipid synthesis through two independent regulatory mechanisms, and could enhance IMF deposition via hepatocyte-adipocyte communications mediated by exosome. However, their biological functions and regulatory mechanisms underlying adipogenesis remain largely elusive in chicken.

Key findings

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emergingly been implicated in mammalian lipid metabolism.

However, their biological functions and regulatory mechanisms underlying adipogenesis remain largely elusive in chicken.

Here, we systematically characterized the genome-wide full-length lncRNAs in the livers of pre- and peak-laying hens, and identified a novel intergenic lncRNA, lncHLEF, an RNA macromolecule with a calculated molecular weight of 433 kDa.

lncHLEF was primarily distributed in cytoplasm of chicken hepatocyte and significantly up-regulated in livers of peak-laying hens.
