Abstract
Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been shown to participate in adipogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of lncRNA-LOC646762 in adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Transcriptome sequencing revealed a positive correlation between LOC646762 transcription and expression of adipogenic marker genes in adipogenic differentiation. Moreover, LOC646762 overexpression did not negatively impact the cell proliferation of BMSCs. Besides, LOC646762 plays a crucial role in adipogenic differentiation, as evidenced by its positive correlation with adipogenic marker gene expression. Its possible interaction with its proposed target C/EBPβ suggests its involvement in essential pathways governing adipogenesis. Collectively, our study outcomes provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the adipogenic differentiation of BMSCs and lay a strong foundation for further research in regenerative medicine.
