摘要： Yunong Black (YN) pigs and Yunong Black x Landrace (YL) hybrid pigs exhibit significant differences in meat quality characteristics. Studies have suggested that extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) may play a regulatory role in muscle development. In order to study the differences in eccDNA between two groups with different meat quality traits and their potential biological significance, this study used the Circle-seq method to detect eccDNA in the longest dorsal muscle (LDM) of Yunong Black pigs (YN) (n = 3) and Yunong Black x Landrace hybrid pigs (YL) (n = 3). EccDNA-related differentially expressed genes (eccDEGs) were then analyzed in combination with RNA-seq to explore the mechanisms by which eccDNA affects meat quality. The results showed that 1325 and 1304 differentially expressed eccDNAs were identified in the YN and YL groups, varying in size and distributed across multiple genomic functional regions. These eccDNAs were also annotated according to several protein-coding genes. Combined analysis with RNA-seq results revealed 19 and 27 eccDEGs in the YN and YL groups. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) analysis enriched many lipid-related pathways, such as chemokine signals and ADP metabolic processes. By constructing a regulatory network, several potential regulatory networks that might be related to pork quality, for example, ecc_sus_8665/ssc-miR-212/ADAMTS16, were identified. In summary, we identified several potential eccDNAs that may regulate pig muscle, offering insights into the regulation of pig muscle traits for breeding.
