Consumers are more inclined to choose beef with a high intramuscular fat content (IMF), which regulated by lots of factors. It is very significant to find a miRNA that plays a key role in the accumulation of IMF. In our study, we found that bta-miR-330 was highly expressed in Japanese black cattle and differentially expressed at intramuscular pre-adipocytes differentiation processes. Furthermore, we transfected the bta-miR-330 mimic & inhibitor in intramuscular pre-adipocytes. The results showed that bta-miR-330 inhibits the proliferation but promotes the adipogenesis of intramuscular pre-adipocytes. Subsequently, our study showed that bta-miR-330 binds to SESN3 , which inhibits the adipogenesis of intramuscular pre-adipocytes. Moreover, we established the mechanism that bta-miR-330 promotes the adipogenesis of intramuscular pre-adipocytes by targeting SESN3 to activate the Akt-mTOR signaling pathway. Overall, our results revealed that bta-miR-330-SESN3 -Akt-mTOR axis plays an important role in adipogenesis of intramuscular pre-adipocytes, which provides a molecular basis for increasing IMF content in beef cattle.
