摘要： Pork is a widely consumed source of animal protein worldwide, and the intramuscular fat (IMF) content in pork plays a crucial role in determining its quality. In this study, we sought to identify candidate genes that regulate IMF deposition in pigs. We performed tandem mass tags (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics analysis using Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle samples obtained from eight pigs with extremely high and low IMF content among a group of 28 Duroc pigs and identified 50 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs). Additionally, we compared the proteomics data with RNA-sequencing data obtained in our previous study and identified TUSC5 as a differentially expressed gene corresponding to the relevant DAP. To investigate the potential role of TUSC5 in adipogenesis, we suppressed TUSC5 expression in mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and observed a significant reduction in the differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells into adipocytes, as indicated by Oil Red O staining and triglyceride content. Moreover, we observed a reduction in the expression of genes associated with adipogenesis (PPARG, CEBPA, FABP4, and FASN) following TUSC5 suppression. Through an integrative analysis of transcriptomics and proteomics data, our study identified TUSC5 as a crucial candidate gene associated with the regulation of IMF content in pigs.
