Abstract
The adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a valuable resource for regenerative medicine and essential materials for research in fat deposition. However, the isolation procedure of ASCs has not been standardized and needs to be harmonized; differences in proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of ASCs obtained from different fat depots have not been well characterized. In the present study, we compared the efficiency of ASCs isolation by enzymatic treatment and explant culture methods and the proliferation ability and adipogenic differentiation potential of ASCs isolated from subcutaneous and visceral fat depots. The explant culture method was simple and with no need for expensive enzymes while the enzymatic treatment method was complex, time consuming and costly. By the explant culture method, a larger number of ASCs were isolated from subcutaneous and visceral fat depots. By contrast, fewer ASCs were obtained by the enzymatic treatment method, especially from visceral adipose. ASCs isolated by the explant culture method performed well in cell proliferation and adipogenic differentiation, though they were slightly lower than those by the enzymatic treatment method. ASCs isolated from visceral depot demonstrated higher proliferation ability and adipogenic differentiation potential. In total, the explant culture method is simpler, more efficient, and lower cost than the enzymatic treatment method for ASCs isolation; compared with visceral adipose, subcutaneous adipose is easier to isolate ASCs; however, the visceral ASCs are superior to subcutaneous ASCs in proliferation and adipogenic differentiation.

Identification of Differentially Expressed miRNAs in Porcine Adipose Tissues and Evaluation of Their Effects on Feed Efficiency. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13122406. [PMID: 36553673 PMCID: PMC9778086 DOI: 10.3390/genes13122406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Feed efficiency (FE) is a very important trait affecting the economic benefits of pig breeding enterprises. Adipose tissue can modulate a variety of processes such as feed intake, energy metabolism and systemic physiological processes. However, the mechanism by which microRNAs (miRNAs) in adipose tissues regulate FE remains largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to screen potential miRNAs related to FE through miRNA sequencing. The miRNA profiles in porcine adipose tissues were obtained and 14 miRNAs were identified differentially expressed in adipose tissues of pigs with extreme differences in FE, of which 9 were down-regulated and 5 were up-regulated. GO and KEGG analyses indicated that these miRNAs were significantly related to lipid metabolism and these miRNAs modulated FE by regulating lipid metabolism. Subsequently, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) of five randomly selected DEMs was used to verify the reliability of miRNA-seq data. Furthermore, 39 differentially expressed target genes of these DEMs were obtained, and DEMs-target mRNA interaction networks were constructed. In addition, the most significantly down-regulated miRNAs, ssc-miR-122-5p and ssc-miR-192, might be the key miRNAs for FE. Our results reveal the mechanism by which adipose miRNAs regulate feed efficiency in pigs. This study provides a theoretical basis for the further study of swine feed efficiency improvement.

Construction and Comprehensive Analysis of miRNAs and Target mRNAs in Longissimus dorsi Muscle of Queshan Black and Large White Pigs. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12111814. [DOI: 10.3390/life12111814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
A miRNA-mRNA combination analysis was performed on the longissimus dorsi muscle of adult Queshan Black and Large White pigs by RNA-seq technology to reveal the molecular mechanism affecting pork quality traits. The sequencing results showed that 39 miRNAs were differentially expressed between Queshan Black and Large White pigs, which targeted 5234 mRNAs, and 15 differentially expressed miRNAs targeted 86 differentially expressed mRNAs. The qRT-PCR results showed that miRNAs showed similar expression patterns to RNA-seq. The GO analysis indicated that differentially expressed miRNAs with differential target mRNAs were primarily involved in biological processes such as phospholipase activity, MAP-kinase scaffold activity, lipase activity, and regulation of the extent of cell growth. The KEGG analysis also revealed that such mRNAs were significantly enriched in the ECM-receptor interaction, sphingolipid metabolism, apoptosis, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and AMPK signaling pathway. In addition, software predictions showed that 17 (13 of which were upregulated and four were downregulated) of 39 differentially expressed miRNAs targeted 118 negatively correlated expression mRNAs. The upregulated miRNAs contained 103 negatively correlated target mRNAs, whereas the downregulated miRNAs contained 15 negatively correlated target mRNAs. The GO analysis showed that such mRNAs were primarily involved in MAP-kinase scaffold activity, myoblast development, and peptidyl-lysine methylation, and the KEGG analysis showed significant enrichment in ECM-receptor interaction and focal adhesion. The functional enrichment analysis of miRNA target genes revealed that miR-328 was screened out as a key miRNA, and preliminary functional validation was performed. Moreover, the overexpressed miR-328 could affect the expression of proliferation-related genes, such as CDK2, CDK4, CCNB1, CCND1, CCNE1, and PCNA. These results indicated that miR-328 may regulate fat deposition and affect meat quality by influencing related pathways. This study revealed that the miRNA−mRNA regulatory axis affects fat deposition and skeletal muscle development, which provides a theoretical basis for further study on the molecular mechanism of meat quality.
