Abstract:

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor 1 (OLR1) gene in the differentiation of porcine preadipocytes, and to lay a foundation for further study of the function of OLR1 gene in fat deposition. According to the sequence of OLR1 gene in GenBank (GenBank No.: NM_213805), the over expression vector of OLR1-pcDNA3.1 was constructed and OLR1-siRNA was synthesized. Preadipocytes were isolated from the longissimus dorsi muscle of Enshi black pig. OLR1-pcDNA3.1 and OLR1-siRNA were transferred into the preadipocytes respectively. The cells were induced to differentiate to the 6th day. Then, oil red O staining, triglyceride content detection and fluorescence quantitative PCR were used to detect the effect of OLR1 gene on the preadipocyte differentiation. The results showed that the number of lipid droplets in the overexpression group was significantly(P<0.05) higher than that in the control group, the triglyceride content was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the expression levels of PPARγ, C/EBPα and FAS were significantly increased at P<0.01, P<0.05 and P<0.05 level, respectively. In contrast, after knock down OLR1 gene, the intracellular lipid droplets and triglyceride content were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the expression of adipogenic differentiation marker genes PPARγ, C/EBPα and FAS were significantly decreased at P<0.01, P<0.05 and P<0.05 level, respectively. In conclusion, OLR1 gene could promote the adipogenic differentiation of preadipocyte.
