This study examined transcriptional responses to LYPLA1 overexpression and knockdown in primary myoblasts derived from one Hu sheep fetus and explored the involvement of PI3K-Akt signaling in LYPLA1-associated proliferation. RNA sequencing showed that no differentially expressed genes remained significant after false discovery rate correction following LYPLA1 knockdown, whereas LYPLA1 overexpression yielded 362 significant genes, including 219 upregulated and 143 downregulated genes. Exploratory enrichment analysis of nominally significant candidate genes implicated extracellular and immune-related functions, steroid hormone biosynthesis, PPAR signaling, cytokine\u2013cytokine receptor interaction, and PI3K-Akt signaling. Pharmacological inhibition with 0.5 \u03bcM PI3K\/AKT-IN-1 partially attenuated the increases in EdU-positive cells and Cyclin D1 mRNA levels associated with LYPLA1 overexpression. These findings indicate that LYPLA1 overexpression is associated with broad transcriptional changes in ovine myoblasts and suggest that PI3K-Akt signaling contributes to the associated proliferative phenotype. However, the underlying mechanism requires further validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani16172648","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T10:07:53Z","timestamp":1787566073000},"page":"2648","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Transcriptome Sequencing of LYPLA1 Gene Overexpression and Interference"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhanpeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Gou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Veterinary Medicine, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huiguo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Husbandry, Xinjiang Academy of Animal Sciences, Urumqi 830013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kanati","family":"Shalike","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Animal Husbandry, Xinjiang Academy of Animal Sciences, Urumqi 830013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6150-0258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zehu","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Joint Research Laboratory in Universities of Jiangsu Province of China for Domestic Animal Germplasm Resources and Genetic Improvement, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"},{"name":"Joint International Research Laboratory of Agriculture and Agri-Product Safety of Ministry of Education of China, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"},{"name":"International Joint Research Laboratory in Universities of Jiangsu Province of China for Domestic Animal Germplasm Resources and Genetic Improvement, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"},{"name":"Joint International Research Laboratory of Agriculture and Agri-Product Safety of Ministry of Education of China, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Mohammadabadi, M., Bordbar, F., Jensen, J., Du, M., and Guo, W.
