Abstract
Under conditions of dietary amino acid balance, decreasing the dietary crude protein (CP) level in pigs has a beneficial effect on meat quality. To further elucidate the mechanism, we explored the alteration of muscle fiber characteristics and key regulators related to myogenesis in the skeletal muscle of pigs fed a protein restricted diet. Compared to pigs fed a normal protein diet, dietary protein restriction significantly increased the slow-twitch muscle fiber proportion in skeletal muscle, succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, the concentrations of ascorbate, biotin, palmitoleic acid, and the ratio of s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAM) to s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), but the fast-twitch muscle fiber proportion, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, the concentrations of ATP, glucose-6-phosphate, SAM, and SAH in skeletal muscle, and the ratio of serum triiodothyronine (T3) to tetraiodothyronine (T4) were decreased. In conclusion, we demonstrated that dietary protein restriction induced skeletal muscle fiber remodeling association the regulation of FGF21-ERK1/2-mTORC1 signaling in weaned piglets.

Abstract
Fat infiltration in skeletal muscle (also known as myosteatosis) is now recognized as a distinct disease from sarcopenia and is directly related to declining muscle capacity. Hence, understanding the origins and regulatory mechanisms of fat infiltration is vital for maintaining skeletal muscle development and improving human health. In this article, we summarized the triggering factors such as aging, metabolic diseases and metabolic syndromes, nonmetabolic diseases, and muscle injury that all induce fat infiltration in skeletal muscle. We discussed recent advances on the cellular origins of fat infiltration and found several cell types including myogenic cells and non-myogenic cells that contribute to myosteatosis. Furthermore, we reviewed the molecular regulatory mechanism, detection methods, and intervention strategies of fat infiltration in skeletal muscle. Based on the current findings, our review will provide new insight into regulating function and lipid metabolism of skeletal muscle and treating muscle-related diseases.

[PMID: 38181918 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
TMEM182, a transmembrane protein highly expressed in muscle and adipose tissues, plays a crucial role in muscle cell differentiation, metabolism, and signaling. However, its role in fat deposition and metabolism is still unknown. In this study, we used overexpression and knockout models to examine the impact of TMEM182 on fat synthesis and metabolism. Our results showed that TMEM182 overexpression increased the expression of fat synthesis-related genes and promoted the differentiation of preadipocytes into fat cells. In TMEM182 knockout mice, there was a significant decrease in abdominal fat deposition. RNA sequencing results showed that TMEM182 overexpression in preadipocytes enhanced the activity of pathways related to fat formation, ECM-receptor interaction, and cell adhesion. Furthermore, our analysis using UPLC-MS/MS showed that TMEM182 significantly altered the metabolite and lipid content and composition in chicken breast muscle. Specifically, TMEM182 increased the content of amino acids and their derivatives in chicken breast muscle, promoting amino acid metabolic pathways. Lipidomics also revealed a significant increase in the content of glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and phospholipids in the breast muscle after TMEM182 overexpression. These findings suggest that TMEM182 plays a crucial role in regulating fat deposition and metabolism, making it a potential target for treating obesity-related diseases and animal breeding.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is one of the most significant factors influencing beef quality in terms of tenderness, flavor, and juiciness. Thus, internal factors affecting IMF deposition have received considerable attention for decades. In this study, we demonstrated a long non-coding RNA, lnc210, promoted adipogenic differentiation of buffalo intramuscular adipocytes. lnc210 was rich in adipose tissue and showed increased expression with the adipogenic differentiation of buffalo intramuscular adipocytes. lnc210 was mainly expressed in the nucleus of adipocytes. Full-length lnc210 was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends technology. lnc210 overexpression promoted lipid accumulation by upregulating the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) and CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) in buffalo intramuscular adipocytes. These results provide a basis for an in-depth analysis of the role of lnc210 in accelerating IMF deposition in buffaloes.

Abstract
Rosemary extracts have been widely used as feed additives in recent years. This study aimed to investigate the effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) and ursolic acid (UA), the main active components of rosemary, on growth performance, meat quality and lipid metabolism in finishing pigs. A total of 72 finishing pigs (Landrace; initial age of 150 d) were randomly divided into 3 treatments with 8 replicates of 3 pigs each, and fed a basal diet or diet containing 500 mg/kg of RA or UA. The results showed that dietary supplementation of RA or UA had no significant effect on the growth performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs (P > 0.05). However, both RA and UA significantly increased the triglyceride (TG) level in soleus muscle (P < 0.001). Supplementation of RA increased the expression of genes related to lipogenesis and transport including fatty acid synthase (FAS) (P < 0.001), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) (P < 0.001) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) (P < 0.05), while UA increased the expression of fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1), a gene related to lipid uptake (P < 0.05). However, RA reduced the expression of adipogenesis-related gene acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase α (ACCα) (P < 0.01). Characterization of cecal microbiota indicated that RA increased the microbial richness (chao 1, P < 0.001) and diversity (observed species, P < 0.01). Further analysis of the genera revealed that RA increased the relative abundance of Bacteroides and g-UCG-005 (P < 0.05), and UA enriched Prevotella (P < 0.001). Correlation analysis showed that g-UCG-005 was positively correlated with the expression of FAS, carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1B (CPT1B), SREBP1c and PPARγ (P < 0.01). In conclusion, dietary supplementation of RA or UA may increase fat deposition in muscle of finishing pigs by regulating lipid metabolism and gut microbiota.

Abstract
This study investigated potential mechanism of dibutyryl-cAMP (db-cAMP) on porcine fat deposition. (1) Exp.1, 72 finishing pigs were allotted to 3 treatments (0, 10 or 20 mg/kg dbcAMP) with 6 replicates. dbcAMP increased the hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) activity and expression of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) and growth hormone receptor (GHR), but decreased expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPAR-γ2) and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) in back fat. dbcAMP upregulated expression of β-AR, GHR, PPAR-γ2 and A-FABP, but decreased insulin receptor (INSR) expression in abdominal fat. Dietary dbcAMP increased HSL activity and expression of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), but decreased fatty acid synthase (FAS) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities, and expression of INSR, cAMP-response element-binding protein (C/EBP-α) and A-FABP in perirenal fat. (2) Exp. 2, dbcAMP suppressed the proliferation and differentiation of porcine preadipocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner, which might be associated with increased activities of cAMP and protein kinase A (PKA), and expression of GPCR, β-AR, GHR and CREB via inhibiting C/EBP-α and PPAR-γ2 expression. Collectively, dbcAMP treatment may reduce fat deposition by regulating gene expression related to adipocyte differentiation and fat metabolism partially via cAMP-PKA pathway.

Abstract
As one of the important traits in pig production, meat quality has important research significance and value. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is one of the most important factors affecting pork quality. Many experimental studies have shown that IMF content is closely related to the flavor, tenderness, and juiciness of pork. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the mechanism of porcine IMF deposition. Previous research indicated that miR-149-5p promoted the proliferation of porcine intramuscular (IM) preadipocytes and decreased their ability to differentiate, albeit the exact mechanism of action is unknown. In vitro, foreign pigs showed increased miR-149-5p expression and reduced fat deposition when compared to Queshan Black pigs. This study conducted metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses of porcine IM preadipocytes overexpressing miR-149-5p to verify their effects on lipid formation. According to metabolomics analysis, the overexpression of miR-149-5p has significantly altered the lipid, organic acid, and organic oxygen metabolites of porcine IM preadipocytes. Specially speaking, it has changed 115 metabolites, including 105 up-regulated and 10 down-regulated ones, as well as the composition of lipid, organic acid, and organic oxygen metabolism-related metabolites. RNA-seq analysis showed that overexpression of miR-149-5p significantly altered 857 genes, of which 442 were up-regulated, and 415 were down-regulated, with enrichment to MAPK, IL-17, PI3K-Akt, and ErbB signaling pathways. We found that overexpression of miR-149-5p inhibited adipogenic differentiation by changing cAMP signaling pathway in porcine IM preadipocytes. In addition, the overexpression of miR-149-5p may affect the transport of Cu2+ by targeting ATP7A and inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. These findings elucidate the regulatory function of miR-149-5p in porcine IM preadipocytes, which may be a key target for controlling pork quality.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is the main determinant of the economic value of domestic animal meat, and has a vital impact on the sensory quality characteristics, while the content of IMF is mainly determined by the size and number of intramuscular adipocytes. In recent years, due to the development of sequencing technology and omics technology, a large number of non-coding RNAs have been identified in intramuscular adipocytes. Non-coding RNAs are a kind of RNA regulatory factors with biological functions but without translation function, which mainly include microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs). These non-coding RNAs regulate the key genes of intramuscular adipocyte growth and development at post-transcriptional level through a variety of regulatory mechanisms, and affect the number and size of intramuscular adipocytes, thus affecting the content of IMF. Here, the review summarizes the candidate non-coding RNAs (miRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs) and genes involved in the regulation of intramuscular adipocytes, the related regulation mechanism and signaling pathways, in order to provide reference for further clarifying the molecular regulation mechanism of non-coding RNAs on intramuscular adipocytes in domestic animals.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) appear to be crucial in the process of adipogenesis according to mounting data. CircSETBP1 is a newly discovered circRNA associated with adipogenesis. Sequencing verification and RNase R treatment have confirmed the circular nature of circSETBP1 in porcine tissue. The precise function and mechanism of circSETBP1 in adipocyte biology are still unclear. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), Oil red O staining, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were employed in this investigation to reveal the functions of circSETBP1 and miR-149-5p in the growth and development of porcine intramuscular (IM) preadipocytes. CircSETBP1 overexpression accelerated cell differentiation while reducing cell proliferation. The opposite outcome was produced by overexpressing miR-149-5p. Meanwhile, circSETBP1 down-regulated the expression of miR-149-5p and miR-149-5p restrained the expression of CRTC1/CRTC2. CircSETBP1 was directly targeted by miR-149-5p, and CRTC1/CRTC2 were the target genes of miR-149-5p using bioinformatic analysis, the dual-Luciferase reporter system, and qRT-PCR. In conclusion, circSETBP1 controls the proliferation and differentiation of porcine IM preadipocytes and 3T3-L1 cells by regulating the miR-149-5p/CRTCs axis. The results of this study not only illuminate the molecular mechanism of circSETBP1/miR-149-5p involved in the deposition of porcine intramuscular fat (IMF), but they also provide a significant theoretical reference for raising quality of pork.

Integration of ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis identifies key genes affecting intramuscular fat content in pigs. Front Nutr 2022; 9:1016956. [PMID: 36276837 PMCID: PMC9581296 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.1016956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Meat quality is one of the most important economic traits in pig breeding and production, and intramuscular fat (IMF) content is the major factor in improving meat quality. The IMF deposition in pigs is influenced by transcriptional regulation, which is dependent on chromatin accessibility. However, how chromatin accessibility plays a regulatory role in IMF deposition in pigs has not been reported. Xidu black is a composite pig breed with excellent meat quality, which is an ideal research object of this study. In this study, we used the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis to identify the accessible chromatin regions and key genes affecting IMF content in Xidu black pig breed with extremely high and low IMF content. First, we identified 21,960 differential accessible chromatin peaks and 297 differentially expressed genes. The motif analysis of differential peaks revealed several potential cis-regulatory elements containing binding sites for transcription factors with potential roles in fat deposition, including Mef2c, CEBP, Fra1, and AP-1. Then, by integrating the ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis results, we found 47 genes in the extremely high IMF (IMF_H) group compared with the extremely low IMF (IMF_L) group. For these genes, we observed a significant positive correlation between the differential gene expression and differential ATAC-seq signal (r2 = 0.42). This suggests a causative relationship between chromatin remodeling and the resulting gene expression. We identified several candidate genes (PVALB, THRSP, HOXA9, EEPD1, HOXA10, and PDE4B) that might be associated with fat deposition. Through the PPI analysis, we found that PVALB gene was the top hub gene. In addition, some pathways that might regulate fat cell differentiation and lipid metabolism, such as the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway, were significantly enriched in the ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first to use ATAC-seq and RNA-seq to examine the mechanism of IMF deposition from a new perspective. Our results provide valuable information for understanding the regulation mechanism of IMF deposition and an important foundation for improving the quality of pork.

Integrative Analysis Between Genome-Wide Association Study and Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Reveals Bovine Muscle Gene Expression Regulatory Polymorphisms Associated With Intramuscular Fat and Backfat Thickness. Front Genet 2022; 13:935238.

Abstract
Understanding the architecture of gene expression is fundamental to unravel the molecular mechanisms regulating complex traits in bovine, such as intramuscular fat content (IMF) and backfat thickness (BFT). These traits are economically important for the beef industry since they affect carcass and meat quality. Our main goal was to identify gene expression regulatory polymorphisms within genomic regions (QTL) associated with IMF and BFT in Nellore cattle. For that, we used RNA-Seq data from 193 Nellore steers to perform SNP calling analysis. Then, we combined the RNA-Seq SNP and a high-density SNP panel to obtain a new dataset for further genome-wide association analysis (GWAS), totaling 534,928 SNPs. GWAS was performed using the Bayes B model. Twenty-one relevant QTL were associated with our target traits. The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was performed using Matrix eQTL with the complete SNP dataset and 12,991 genes, revealing a total of 71,033 cis and 36,497 trans-eQTL (FDR < 0.05). Intersecting with QTL for IMF, we found 231 eQTL regulating the expression levels of 117 genes. Within those eQTL, three predicted deleterious SNPs were identified. We also identified 109 eQTL associated with BFT and affecting the expression of 54 genes. This study revealed genomic regions and regulatory SNPs associated with fat deposition in Nellore cattle. We highlight the transcription factors FOXP4, FOXO3, ZSCAN2, and EBF4, involved in lipid metabolism-related pathways. These results helped us to improve our knowledge about the genetic architecture behind important traits in cattle.

Abstract
Global food systems are under significant pressure to provide enough food, particularly protein-rich foods whose demand is on the rise in times of crisis and inflation, as presently existing due to post-COVID-19 pandemic effects and ongoing conflict in Ukraine and resulting in looming food insecurity, according to FAO. Cultivated meat (CM) and cultivated seafood (CS) are protein-rich alternatives for traditional meat and fish that are obtained via cellular agriculture (CA) i.e., tissue engineering for food applications. Stem and progenitor cells are the building blocks and starting point for any CA bioprocess. This review presents CA-relevant vertebrate cell types and procedures needed for their myogenic and adipogenic differentiation since muscle and fat tissue are the primary target tissues for CM/CS production. The review also describes existing challenges, such as a need for immortalized cell lines, or physical and biochemical parameters needed for enhanced meat/fat culture efficiency and ways to address them.
