Abstracts The interactions between myogenic cells and adipocytes play an important role in improving carcass traits and the efficiency of energy utilization. However, there are few reports about the interaction between them mediated by small extracellular vesicles (sEV). In this study, sEV derived from porcine primary skeletal muscle stem cells (MuSCs) was found to be involved in the inhibition of porcine primary adipocyte viability, triglyceride content, Oil Red O enrichment and the expression of adipogenic genes. When the MuSCs were treated with insulin (INS) and oleic acid (OA), the effects of their secreted sEVs on adipose precursor cells were reversed, suggesting that the signaling effects of sEV are related to their own heterogeneity. Further by component heterogeneity analysis, miR-146a-5p was found to be enriched in sEVs of MuSCs and to regulate and suppress adipogenesis through its heterogeneity. This study provides an important mechanism and molecular target for small extracellular vesicles to regulate the interaction between muscle and adipose tissue and improve carcass traits at the intercellular level.
