Adipocyte differentiation plays an important role in the formation of fat tissues in pigs and affects meat quality and productivity. Clarification of the nature of the pig genes that participate in adipocyte differentiation will provide a clue to the regulation of fat content and thickness in pig carcases by dietary control; it will also help to find target genes for exploring potentially useful polymorphisms for molecular breeding aimed at fat traits. We constructed a DNA oligomer microarray based on pig transcripts, and we used the array to investigate time-dependent changes in gene expression in the PSPA porcine preadipocyte cell line during differentiation into adipocytes. We selected genes with markedly altered expression (at least fivefold difference in comparison with expression in undifferentiated cells) and classified them into five groups according to gene expression pattern. In the early stage after stimulation of adipocyte differentiation, we observed up-regulation of many genes encoding proteins involved in regulating cell proliferation and transcription. Among the probes corresponding to transcripts that showed marked changes in expression, 27 were located within previously reported QTL regions for traits related to adipose tissues. These results will be valuable resources for finding the genes responsible for fat-related traits that have been identified in previous studies using various pig resource families.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002454 Cell Differentiation Progressive restriction of the developmental potential and increasing specialization of function that leads to the formation of specialized cells, tissues, and organs. Differentiation, Cell,Cell Differentiations,Differentiations, Cell
D002460 Cell Line Established cell cultures that have the potential to propagate indefinitely. Cell Lines,Line, Cell,Lines, Cell
D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white. Fatty Tissue,Body Fat,Fat Pad,Fat Pads,Pad, Fat,Pads, Fat,Tissue, Adipose,Tissue, Fatty
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA). Phacochoerus,Pigs,Suidae,Warthogs,Wart Hogs,Hog, Wart,Hogs, Wart,Wart Hog
D017667 Adipocytes Cells in the body that store FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. WHITE ADIPOCYTES are the predominant type and found mostly in the abdominal cavity and subcutaneous tissue. BROWN ADIPOCYTES are thermogenic cells that can be found in newborns of some species and hibernating mammals. Fat Cells,Lipocytes,Adipocyte,Cell, Fat,Cells, Fat,Fat Cell,Lipocyte
