Pig backfat miRNA profiling

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Analysis of the effect of different fats and amonut of cDDGS in the feedstuff on miRNA expression in porcine backfat Methods: miRNA-seq analysis was performed on backfat samples collected from 24 male and female crossbred fatteners originating from sows (Polish Landrace × White Large Polish) mated with a boar (Duroc × Pietrain) divided into four dietary groups: 7-cDDGS+rapeseed oil (group I), n=6 (+cDDGS+rapeseed oil -group II), n= 6 (+cDDGS+beeftallow -group III),n=5 (+cDDGS+coconut oil -group IV). The miRNA libraries were constructed from total RNA using NEBNext Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina (New England Biolabs) according to the manufacturer protocol. The quantification of the obtained libraries was performed on a Qubit 2.0 spectrophotometer (Invitrogen, Life Technologies), while a quality control on a TapeStation 2200 instrument (D1000 ScreenTape; Agilent). 100 single-end cycle sequencing was performed on the HiScanSQ platform (Illumina) with the use of TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v3- CBOT-HS and TruSeq SBS Kit v 3 - HS (Illumina). MicroRNA differentially expressed between dietary groups were identified with the DESeq2 software. Results: The comparison of miRNA profiles between dietary groups showed The highest number of miRNAs with altered expression was identified in the comparison of animals fed the diet containing cDDGS and coconut oil (group IV) with animals from the –cDDGS + rapeseed oil (group I) (37 miRNA, p adjusted <0.01). Moreover, in comparison between the group IV and groups III and II , 29 (12 upregulated and 17 downregulated in +cDDGS+coconut oil group) and 28 (10 upregulated and 18 downregulated in +cDDGS+coconut oil group) miRNAs were identified, respectively (p adjusted <0.1) Conclusions: Obtained results suggest that coconut oil induces changes in miRNA profile of backfat in pigs.

Project description:The coconut tree (Cocos nucifera L.) is an ancient palm species that since early times had been integrally exploited due to their many benefits to the habitants of the tropical and subtropical areas (Niral and Jerard, 2018). The coconut together with the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) belongs to the Arecaceae family and represent a natural source of oils and carbohydrates both, highly demanded in food and pharmaceutical industries. The coconut shows high morphological variations, but grouping normally in two groups, according to their morphology and growth habits, the “Tall” and the “Dwarf” varieties. Frequently, hybrids are considered as a third variety resulting from cross pollination between Tall and Dwarfs. Tall varieties begin to flowering at 5-7 years after planting, and continue emitting inflorescences and fruits up to 80 to 100 years. When adults, tall palms reach heights between 20-30 m; producing fruits from medium to large in size with abundant solid endosperm and high oil content. In case of dwarf palm varieties, they start flowering and fruiting at 3-4 years after planting, and continue producing by almost 50 years. As adults, their height is 8-10 m, producing fruits from small to medium size with moderate amounts of solid endosperm and less oil content than tall varieties. The solid endosperm, also named as “coconut meat” and when it is dry “copra”, is the source of medium chain saturated fatty acids (MCSFA), e.g. lauric acid (C12:0), myristic acid (C14:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0), among others, and their content of total fatty acids is higher in Tall than in Dwarf varieties. Coconut Oil contains high levels of lauric acid and exhibit characteristics as increased oxidative stability, low melting points and formation of stable emulsions, all them highly appreciated in the food and chemical industries (Kumar, 2011; Reynolds et al., 2019). Moreover, due to its high content of antioxidants such as tocopherol and beta-carotene, coconut oil exhibit various health benefits, such as antibacterial, antiviral, and cardiovascular protection. Coconut fruit growth and ripening is intrinsically related with development of the different seed tissues, i.e., endosperms, embryo and pericarp. The endosperms of the coconut fruit did not accumulate synchronically with fruit maturation.
