Abstract
Cholesterol is regarded as a signaling molecule in regulating the metabolism and function of fat cells, in which 7-Dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR7) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol, however, the exact function of DHCR7 in goat adipocytes remains unknown. Here, the effect of DHCR7 on the formation of subcutaneous and intramuscular fat in goats was investigated in vitro, and the result indicated that the mRNA level of DHCR7 showed a gradual downward trend in subcutaneous adipogenesis, but an opposite trend in intramuscular adipogenesis. In the process of subcutaneous preadipocytes differentiation, overexpression of DHCR7 inhibited the expression of adipocytes differentiation marker genes (CEBP/α, CEBP/β, SREBP1 and AP2), lipid metabolism-related genes (AGPAT6, FASN, SCD1 and LPL), and the lipid accumulation. However, in intramuscular preadipocyte differentiation, DHCR7 overexpression showed a promoting effect on adipocyte differentiation marker genes (CEBP/α, CEBP/β, PPARγ and SREBP1) and lipid metabolism-related genes (GPAM, AGPAT6, DGAT1 and SCD1) expression, and on lipid accumulation. In summary, our work demonstrated that DHCR7 played an important role in regulating adipogenic differentiation and lipid metabolism in preadipocytes in goats, which is of great significance for uncovering the underlying molecular mechanism of adipocyte differentiation and improving goat meat quality.

Abstract
Gallic acid (GA) is a widespread naturally occurring phenolic acid and one of the main active monomers that forms polyphenols such as tannins. In recent years, GA has been found as a potential regulator in lipid metabolism. However, effects and possible mechanisms of GA on cell growth and lipid metabolism of bovine subcutaneous adipocytes remain unknown. In this study, we investigated whether GA could affect proliferation and adipogenesis of subcutaneous adipocyte in beef cattle. We found that GA possesses inhibitive effects on proliferation and adipogenesis of bovine subcutaneous adipocyte via activating the metabolic master factor AMP-activated protein kinase alpha (AMPKα) to promote programmed cell death and lipolysis. The findings prove GA is a key substance to inhibit proliferation and adipogenesis of bovine subcutaneous adipocyte in vitro. Further in vivo study needs conducted to verify the reductive effects of GA on subcutaneous fat in beef cattle.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) and subcutaneous fat (SCF), which are modulated by adipogenesis of intramuscular and subcutaneous adipocytes, play key roles in pork quality. C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 6 (CTRP6), an adipokine, plays an important role in the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. However, the effect and regulatory mechanisms of CTRP6 on porcine adipogenesis, and whether CTRP6 has the same effect on intramuscular and subcutaneous adipocytes, are still unknown. Here, we found that CTRP6 significantly inhibited both adipocyte proliferation assessed by proliferative marker expression, but CTRP6 decreased the proliferation rate of intramuscular adipocytes (IM) to a greater extent than subcutaneous adipocytes (SC). Moreover, CTRP6 promoted the activity of the p38 signaling pathway during the proliferation of both cell types. Nevertheless, in subcutaneous adipocytes, CTRP6 also influenced the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinases1/2 (p-Erk1/2), but not in intramuscular adipocytes. Additionally, during the differentiation of intramuscular and subcutaneous adipocytes, CTRP6 increased adipogenic genes expression and the level of p-p38, while it decreased the activity of p-Erk1/2. Interestingly, the effect of CTRP6 shRNA or CTRP6 recombinant protein was attenuated by U0126 (a special p-Erk inhibitor) or SB203580 (a special p-p38 inhibitor) in adipocytes. By target gene prediction and experimental validation, we demonstrated that CTRP6 may be a target of miR-29a in porcine adipocytes. Moreover, AdipoR1was identified as a receptor of CTRP6 in intramuscular adipocytes, but not in subcutaneous adipocytes. On the basis of the above findings, we suggest that CTRP6 was the target gene of miR-29a, inhibited intramuscular and subcutaneous adipocyte proliferation, but promoted differentiation by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. These findings indicate that CTRP6 played an essentially regulatory role in fat development.
