Abstract
Non-human primates (NHPs) are important models of medical research on obesity and cardiovascular diseases. As two of the most commonly used NHPs, cynomolgus macaque (CM) and African green monkey (AGM) own different capacities in lipid metabolism of which the mechanism is unknown. This study investigated the expression profiles of lipid metabolism-related microRNAs (miRNAs) in CM and AGM and their possible roles in controlling lipid metabolism-related gene expression. By small RNA deep sequencing, the plasma miRNA expression patterns of CM and AGM were compared. The lipid metabolism-related miRNAs were validated through quantitative reverse-transcription (RT) polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Related-target genes were predicted by TargetScan and validated in Vero cells. Compared to CM, 85 miRNAs were upregulated with over 1.5-fold change in AGM of which 12 miRNAs were related to lipid metabolism. miR-122, miR-9, miR-185, miR-182 exhibited the greatest fold changes(fold changes are 51.2, 3.8, 3.7, 3.3 respectively; all P < 0.01). And 77 miRNAs were downregulated with over 1.5-fold change in AGM of which 3, miR-370, miR-26, miR-128 (fold changes are 9.3, 1.8, 1.7 respectively; all P < 0.05) were related to lipid metabolism. The lip...Continue Reading
