Fat deposition affects beef quantity and quality via preadipocyte proliferation. Beta-sitosterol, a natural small molecular compound, has various functions, such as anti-inflammation, antibacterial, and anticancer properties. The mechanism of action of Beta-sitosterol on bovine preadipocytes remains unclear. This study, based on RNA-seq, reveals the impact of Beta -sitosterol on the proliferation of bovine preadipocytes. Compared to the control group, Beta-sitosterol demonstrated a more pronounced inhibitory effect on cell proliferation after 48 hours of treatment than after 24 hours, as evidenced by the results of EdU staining and flow cytometry. RNA-seq and Western Blot analyses further substantiated these findings. Our results suggest that the impact of Beta-sitosterol on the proliferation of bovine preadipocytes is not significant after a 24-hour treatment. It is only after extending the treatment time to 48 hours that Beta-sitosterol may induce cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase by suppressing the expression of CCNB1, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of bovine preadipocytes.

The R3H domain containing 1 (R3HDM1) gene has emerged as a candidate influencing residual feed intake and beef yield. Despite this, the genetic variation of R3HDM1 and its effects on beef cattle remain unexplored. This study identified four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the R3HDM1 gene of Qinchuan cattle, with the g.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) plays a crucial role in enhancing the tenderness, flavor, and juiciness of beef, making the increase of IMF content a significant objective in beef breeding. A key factor influencing IMF levels is the number of intramuscular preadipocytes. Previous studies have indicated a correlation between bta-miR-484 and IMF content.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an economic trait in beef cattle that improves the meat quality. Studies have highlighted the correlation between long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and IMF development. In this study, lncBNIP3 knockdown promoted bovine intramuscular preadipocyte differentiation.

Background: Mongolian cattle are local breeds in northern China with excellent adaptability to harsh environmental conditions. Adipose tissues play essential roles in tolerance to cold and disease, but the associated cellular and molecular mechanisms are unclear.
Methods: Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was performed on the adipose tissues from the subcutaneous (SAT), greater omentum (OAT) and perirenal (PAT) of 3 healthy cattle.
