Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in preadipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis. However, little is known about genome-wide identification, expression profile, and function of circRNAs in sheep. To investigate the role of circRNAs during ovine adipogenic differentiation, the subcutaneous adipose tissue of Tibetan rams was collected in June 2022. Subsequently, the preadipocytes were immediately isolated from collected adipose tissue and then induced to begin differentiation. The adipocytes samples cultured on days 0, 2, and 8 of preadipocytes differentiation were used to perform RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to construct the expression profiles of circRNAs. Subsequently, the function of differentially expressed circRNAs was investigated by performing the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of their parent genes. Finally, a circRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs network involved in adipogenic differentiation was been analyzed. As a result, a total of 6,449 candidate circRNAs were identified in ovine preadipocytes. Of these circRNAs identified, 63 candidate circRNAs were differentially expressed among the three differentiation stages and their parent genes were mainly enriched in acetyl-CoA metabolic process, positive regulation of lipid biosynthetic process, positive regulation of steroid biosynthetic process, and focal adhesion pathway (P < 0.05). Based on a circRNAs-miRNAs-mRNAs regulatory network constructed, circ_004977, circ_006132 and circ_003788 were found to function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) to regulate ovine preadipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism. The results provide an improved understanding of functions and molecular mechanisms of circRNAs underlying ovine adipogenesis in sheep.
