Abstract:【Objective】Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a type of non-coding RNAs with >200 nt in length, which have been shown to regulate mammary gland development and lactation process in dairy cows and dairy goats. However, little is known about the effect of lncRNAs on milk traits in sheep. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of lncRNAs on milk performance and then provided a theoretical basis for elucidating molecular mechanism of lactation performance in sheep.【Method】Three high-lactating yield and high-milk-fat-content Small-Tailed Han sheep and three low-lactating yield and low-milk-fat-content Small-Tailed Han sheep were selected to profile the expression of lncRNAs in the mammary gland tissues during lactation using RNA-Seq. The enrichment analysis was performed using GO and KEGG databases for the target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs between the two groups. The expression levels of 16 differentially expressed lncRNAs were verified using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR).【Result】A total of 7 239 expressed lncRNAs were identified in the mammary gland tissues of Small-Tailed Han sheep, including 2 262 known lncRNAs and 4 977 novel lncRNAs. The most of lncRNAs were expressed at low levels. The 120 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found between the two groups of Small-Tailed Han sheep, of which 68 lncRNAs were up-regulated in high-lactating performance Small-Tailed Han sheep, while 52 lncRNAs were down-regulated. The target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs were significantly enriched in sulfur compound metabolic process, thioester biosynthesis process, acyl-CoA biosynthetic process, Rap1 signal pathway and adhesion junction. The lncRNA- miRNA network showed that some target miRNAs of the six most differentially expressed lncRNAs including MSTRG.125242.6 and MSTRG.59580.8, play important roles in mammary gland development and lactation in domestic animals. The RT-qPCR results showed that the expression tendency of 16 lncRNAs was consistent with the RNA-Seq results, which confirmed the accuracy and authenticity of the RNA-Seq data.【Conclusion】The differentially expressed lncRNAs screened were involved in the regulation of mammary gland development and milk performance in sheep and the results will provide a theoretical basis for analyzing the molecular genetic mechanism of lactation performance in sheep.
