Transcriptome analysis of adductor muscle with VPS29 RNAi in QN Orange scallops
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: QN Orange scallops is new strain with carotenoid deposition in orange adductor muscle, which provided suitable model for studying carotenoid accumulation. The present study was conducted to further understand the role of VPS29 in carotenoids deposition process via RNA interference (RNAi) of VPS29. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 534 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the groups without and with RNAi, among which were 288 upregulated and 246 were downregulated. Among these DGEs, genes related to carotenoids biosynthesis decrease in the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor domain class (LDLR), cytochrome P450 (CYP 450), Niemann Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and ATP binding cassette transporter (ABC transporter) were identified. These results indicated that VPS29 played a vital role on carotenoids deposition by regulating other genes.
