摘要
Fat deposition of beef cattle varies between breeds. However, the regulation mechanism is still not elucidated completely at molecular level. In the present study, we comparatively analyzed transcriptome of subcutaneous adipose tissue between Wagyu and Holstein cattle with a significant difference in fat deposition to identify key genes associated with fat metabolism and adipogenesis by high-throughput RNA-seq technology. A total of 59,149,852 and 69,947,982 high quality reads were generated, respectively. With further analysis, 662 differentially expressed genes were identified. Gene Ontology and KEGG pathway analysis revealed that many differentially expressed genes were enriched in several biological processes and pathways relevant to adipogenesis and lipid metabolism, in which PPAR and fatty acid metabolism signaling pathways with related genes such as PPARγ, PLIN2 and ELOVL6 et al. play a critical role. Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed EGR1, FOS, SERPINE1, AGT, MMP2 may have great impact on adipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis. Moreover, potential alternative splicing events and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were also identified. In summary, we comprehensively analyzed and discussed the transcriptome of subcutaneous adipose tissue of Wagyu and Holstein cattle, which might provide a theoretical basis for better understanding molecular mechanism of fat metabolism and deposition in beef cattle.
