Abstract: To detect the role of PPAR signal pathway on the castration-induced fat deposition, RNA was isolated from the subcutaneous fat tissues of three castrated Huainan pigs and three intact Huainan pigs.The high-throughput sequencing approach was used to identify mRNA expression difference in castrated and intact pigs.The screening threshold for these genes was P value < 0.05 and|log2 FoldChange|> 1.Based on the difference of the mRNA and the KEGG enrichment analysis, the expression of PPAR signal pathway was the highest in the castrated pigs, of which fourteen genes were upregulated and three genes were downregulated.Lipogenic genes like fatty acid binding protein 7 gene(FABP7), aquaporin 7 gene(AQP7), retinoid X receptor, gamma gene(RXRγ) were upregulated significantly in castrated pigs, and lipolysis genes were downregulated like phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 gene(PCK1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1 alpha gene(PPARGC1α) and cytochrome P450, family 7, subfamily A, polypeptide 1 gene(CYP7A1).
