Abstract:

In order to clarify the role of APOC3 gene in the differentiation of intramuscular adipocytes of goats,the APOC3 gene sequence was cloned by RT-PCR,and the biological information was analyzed by online software.Quantitative Real-time PCR(qPCR)was used to detect the expression of APOC3 gene in intramuscular adipocytes of goats at different tissues and differentiation stages.APOC3 overexpression vector was constructed by double-enzyme digestion method,and the effects of APOC3 gene overexpression on lipid droplet accumulation were determined by oil red O staining.At the same time,the mRNA relative expression level of marker gene of adipogenic differentiation was detected by qPCR.The results showed that the ORF region of APOC3 was 294 bp in length and encoded 97 amino acids with a functional domain of 23-88 aa. APOC3 was expressed in 14 tissues including heart,liver and spleen,and so on,which the highest level of APOC3 was found in liver.APOC3 expression was the highest at 48 h and extremely significantly higher than that before differentiation.After APOC3 was overexpressed,lipid drop accumulation increased,and the relative expression levels of marker genes SREBP1 and CEBPβ were extremely significantly up-regulated,PPARγ was significantly up-regulated,and Pref-1 was significantly down-regulated.APOC3 might promote the differentiation of intramuscular adipocytes by up-regulating SREBP1,CEBPβ,PPARγ and down-regulating Pref-1.
