Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular detection technology, and in particular to SORBS1 inhibitors, their products, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a crucial factor affecting pork quality, directly influencing its flavor, tenderness, and juiciness. IMF deposition is influenced by the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of intramuscular preadipocytes. In recent years, with the development of whole transcriptome sequencing technology, an increasing number of lipid metabolism-related genes have been discovered. The c-Cbl-related protein (CAP) encoded by the SORBS1 gene is an adaptor protein involved in cytoskeleton regulation and lipid metabolism. This invention aims to investigate the effects of interfering with SORBS1 gene expression on the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, providing a new target for molecular breeding of high-quality meat pigs.

[0149] (4) RT-qPCR assay of cell proliferation factors
[0150] Cell plating, experimental grouping, and cell transfection methods are the same as above. Use 8 × 10⁸ cells per cell line. 5 Each sample was seeded into a 6-well plate, with 3 replicates per group during transfection. Samples were collected 24 hours after transfection, and RNA was extracted using the Trizol method. After reverse transcription, quantitative PCR was performed using the same method as above.
[0151] In detail, the detection of adipogenic differentiation-related indicators was carried out according to the following steps:
[0152] (1) The cells were arranged at 8×10 5 Cells were seeded per well in 6-well plates and transferred to a 37°C CO2 incubator for culture. Transfection was performed when the cell confluence reached about 50%.
[0153] (2) SORBS1-siRNA transfection assay grouping: NC and si-SORBS1; each group had 3 replicates;
[0154] (3) Transfection steps
[0155] The operation method is the same as above.
[0156] (4) Induced differentiation

[0158] (5) Oil Red O staining
[0159] The operation method is the same as above.
[0160] (6) Triglyceride content determination
[0161] The operation method is the same as above.
[0162] (7) RT-qPCR determination of adipogenic differentiation-related genes
[0163] The procedure was the same as above. Cells induced to differentiate for 2d, 4d, 6d and 8d were collected respectively. RNA was extracted using the Trizol method, reverse transcribed and then subjected to fluorescence quantification, using the same method as above.
[0164] Data analysis was conducted based on the above experiments;
[0165] Gene expression levels in RT-qPCR experiments were measured using 2... –ΔΔCTThe methods were used for calculation. Each experiment had at least three biological replicates. Statistical analysis and graphing were performed using Graphpad Pism 9.5 software. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (M ± SD). Data between two groups were analyzed using t-tests, and data from three or more groups were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. At the significance level, ns indicates P > 0.05, * indicates P < 0.05, ** indicates P < 0.01, and *** indicates P < 0.001.
[0166] It should be noted that, in order to verify whether SORBS1 plays a role in porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, RT-qPCR was performed on cells induced to differentiate into adipocytes at 0d, 2d, 4d, 6d, 8d, and 10d to determine the expression level of SORBS1 at different time points during the adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, and a temporal expression profile of the three was constructed. Figure 1 The results showed that SORBS1 expression was significantly upregulated during adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.01). SORBS1 expression increased significantly from day 0 to day 2, remained relatively stable from day 2 to day 4, and then rapidly increased from day 4 to day 10, reaching a peak expression level 20 times higher than the initial level (day 0). These results suggest that SORBS1 may play a role in the adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, providing a basis for further research on SORBS1 function.
[0167] An analysis was conducted on the effects of SORBS1 interference on the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes.
[0168] Including SORBS1-siRNA interference efficiency detection and analysis
[0169] In detail, RT-qPCR results showed that, compared with the NC group, the expression level of SORBS1 was significantly decreased after transfection with si-SORBS1-Sus-766 (P < 0.001). Figure 2 A) has the best interference efficiency. Si-SORBS1-Sus-766 is denoted as Si-SORBS1 for subsequent Western blotting experiments. Western blotting revealed that (… Figure 2 In groups B and C, the SORBS1 protein level in the si-SORBS1 group was significantly lower than that in the NC group (P < 0.001). This indicates that the SORBS1 interference sequence was successfully constructed and can be used for subsequent experiments.
[0170] Analysis of the effect of SORBS1 interference on the proliferation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes
[0171] In detail, to clarify the regulatory role of SORBS1 on the proliferation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, the expression level of the SORBS1 gene in porcine intramuscular preadipocytes was reduced by transfecting si-SORBS1, and changes in cell proliferation and the expression levels of proliferation-related genes were observed. CCK8 results showed that ( Figure 3 A) The OD values (450 nm) of the si-SORBS1 group at 24h, 48h, and 72h after transfection were significantly lower than those of the NC group (P < 0.01), indicating weakened cell proliferation. Simultaneously, RT-qPCR results showed ( Figure 3 B) After SORBS1 interference, the expression levels of PCNA, CDK1, CDK2, and CCND1 genes were all significantly reduced (P < 0.01). These results indicate that SORBS1 may participate in cell proliferation by regulating the expression levels of proliferation-related genes during the proliferation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, and that interference with SORBS1 inhibits the proliferation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes.
[0172] Analysis of the effect of SORBS1 interference on adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes
[0173] In detail, to clarify the specific role of SORBS1 in adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, the expression level of SORBS1 was interfered with. It was found that the adipogenic effect in the si-SORBS1 group was significantly worse than that in the NC group. Figure 4 A), the quantitative results of isopropanol-extracted oil red O further confirmed the above results. Figure 4 B), and there was a highly significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001), and TG measurements showed that the triglyceride content in the si-SORBS1 group was significantly lower than that in the NC group (P < 0.01). Figure 4 C). To further clarify the mechanism of action of SORBS1 on porcine intramuscular preadipocytes, RT-qPCR was used to detect changes in the expression levels of adipogenic differentiation-related genes at 2, 4, 6, and 8 days after SORBS1 interference induction. The results showed that the expression level of PPARγ in the si-SORBS1 group was significantly lower than that in the control group on day 4 of induction (P < 0.01), and significantly lower than that in the control group on days 6 and 8 (P < 0.05); C / EBPβ was significantly lower than that in the control group on days 2, 6, and 8 (P < 0.05); FABP4 and FASN were significantly lower than those in the control group on day 4 (P < 0.05), and significantly lower than those in the control group on days 6 and 8 (P < 0.01). Figure 4 D). These data indicate that interfering with SORBS1 downregulates the expression levels of adipogenic differentiation-related genes, thereby inhibiting adipogenic differentiation of porcine intramuscular preadipocytes.
