Abstract:

In order to clarify the regulatory role of marginal zone B and B1 cell specific protein(MZB1)in intramuscular adipose differentiation of goats,the study first cloned the full-lenth sequence of goat MZB1 gene and analyzed the sequence to obtain the relevant biological characteristics;then used Real-time Quantitative PCR(qPCR)to construct the expression profile of goat MZB1 in tissues and cells;finally,the goat MZB1 overexpression plasmid was transfected into the target cells,followed by differentiation induction;the effects of MZB1 overexpression on the differentiation process were evaluated through morphological analysis and qPCR.The results showed that the goat MZB1 gene sequence was 860 bp in length,including 570 bp CDS region,encoding 189 amino acids;goat MZB1 protein was not only acidic but also negatively charged,which could be stably existed in the cells.Goat MZB1 expression was detected in eight tissues,including the heart and the liver,and the highest expression was found in the spleen.The expression of MZB1 in goat intramuscular adipocytes after 72 h of oleic acid-induced differentiation was significantly higher than that before oleic acid-induced differentiation.Goat MZB1 overexpression increased the number and size of lipid droplets in goat intramuscular adipocytes;the expression levels of FASN,PPARγ,C/EBPα,SREBP1,and C/EBPβ were highly significantly upregulated.The above results suggest that MZB1 plays a positive regulatory role in goat intramuscular adipocyte differentiation,and this positive regulation may be achieved by increasing the expression of the adipose differentiation marker genes PPARγ,C/EBPα,C/EBPβ,and the fatty acid synthesis marker genes SREBP1 and FASN.
