A Pig BodyMap Transcriptome Reveals Diverse Tissue Physiologies and Evolutionary Dynamics of Transcription [non-human Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: Comprehensive transcriptomic survey of the pig (Sus scrofa) may lead to a better understanding of mechanisms of tissue specialization that underlie economic traits of this species and accelerate its use as a biomedical model. Here, we characterized four distinct transcript types (lncRNAs, TUCPs, miRNAs and circRNAs) in 31 adult pig tissues and two cell lines, together with protein-coding genes. We dissected their distinct structural and transcriptional features and uncovered transcriptome variability as related to tissue physiology. We discovered extraordinary diversity among 47 anatomically distinct skeletal muscle types, as well as among six adipose depots, which are linked to their diverse origins, metabolic features, cell composition, physical activity and mitochondrial pathways. In particular, transcription of HOX genes across skeletal muscles exhibited a position-dominant pattern, revealing a similar developmental history of these tissues within the same body part. Transcriptional patterns across adipose depots demonstrated a metabolically protective role of subcutaneous adipose tissue and the association of visceral adipose tissue with metabolic dysfunction. Comparative analysis of the transcriptomes of seven tissues of the pig and nine other vertebrates revealed insights into evolutionary divergence of transcription that contributes to lineage-specific tissue biology. We also analyzed long-range regulation of promoters by their enhancers with downstream transcription in subcutaneous adipose tissues of six mammals, showing that evolutionary stability of transcription can mainly be attributed to multiple enhancers buffering gene expression patterns against genetic perturbations, thereby conferring robustness during speciation. Collectively, this study offers a resource for the accelerated use of the pig as a biomedical model for human biology and disease and uncovers molecular bases of its diverse economic traits.

Project description:*Background: Adipocytes mainly function as energy storage and endocrine cells. The amount and distribution of fat are important factor that influence the meat quality in the beef industry. Fat depot can be found around internal organ (ometal), beneath the skin (subcutaneous), and between muscles (intramuscular). Different adipose depot showed the biological and genetic difference depending on their location. This inter-depot variation might be influenced by the inherent genetic programing for development of adipose depots. In this study, we used RNA-seq data to investigate the difference in transcriptome of various adipose depots in Hanwoo. *Results: Using RNA-seq, we identified 5797, 2156, and 5455 DEGs in the comparison between OI, OS, and IS respectively (FDR<0.01) and found 853, 48, and 979 DEGs specific to subcutaneous, intramuscular and omental fat respectively. DEGs in intramuscular fat were highly enriched the metabolism related pathways compared to other fat depots. DEGs specific to the omental fat is significantly enriched in PPAR signaling pathway and cell-junction related pathway. In subcutaneous fat, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction with chemokines (CXC and CC subfamily) was the most significantly enriched the pathways. Interestingly, melanogenesis pathway was associated with the subcutaneous depot. Even though the adipose tissues shared the same pathways for adipocyte differentiation, the regulation of genes were different based on the depot. *Conclusions: We comparatively analyzed the transcripome profile from different adipose tissues using NGS and identified DEGs between adipose depot and specific to depot in Hanwoo animals. The functional annotation analysis of DEGs found that transcriptome profile difference in various adipose tissue of intramuscular, subcutaneous, and ometal fat. whole mRNA sequencing profiles of nine Korean native cattle (nine profiles of omental fat tissue, nine profiles of intramuscular fat tissue, nine profiles of subcutaneous fat tissue and eight profiles of muscle tissue)
