Alternative Polyadenylation of Malic Enzyme 1 Is Essential for Accelerated Adipogenesis

Understanding the mechanism of adipogenesis is an important basis for improving meat quality traits of livestock. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is a vital mechanism to regulate the expression of eukaryotic genes. However, how the individual APA functions in adipogenesis remains elusive. This study was intended to investigate the effect of malic enzyme 1 (ME1) APA on adipogenesis. Here, intracellular lipid droplets were stained using Oil red O. 3' RACE was used to verify APA events of the ME1 gene. Interactions between ME1 3' untranslated region (3' UTR)-APA isoforms and miRNAs, as well as differential expression of isoforms, were examined using dual-luciferase reporter and molecular experiments. The mechanism of ME1 APA on adipogenesis was explored by gain and loss of function assays. In this study, two ME1 isoforms with different 3' UTR lengths were detected during adipogenesis. Moreover, the ME1 isoform with a short 3' UTR was significantly upregulated compared with the one with a long 3' UTR. Mechanistically, only the long ME1 isoform was targeted by miR-153-3p to attenuate adipogenesis, while the short one escaped the regulation of miR-153-3p to accelerate adipogenesis. Our results reveal a novel mechanism of ME1 APA in regulating adipogenesis.
