Abstract

Abstract Background Excessive backfat deposition lowering carcass grade is a major concern in the pig industry, especially in most breeds of obese type pigs. The mechanisms involved in adipogenesis and fat accumulation in pigs remain unclear. Lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyrylation (Khib), is a novel protein post-translational modification (PTM), which play an important role in transcription, energy metabolism and metastasis of cancer cells, but its role in adipogenesis and fat accumulation has not been shown. Results In this study, we first analyzed the modification levels of acetylation (Kac), Khib, crotonylation (Kcr) and succinylation (Ksu) of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs), myogenic precursors (Myo) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with varied differentiation potential, and found that only Khib modification in FAPs was significantly higher than that in MSCs. Consistently, in parallel with its regulatory enzymes lysine acetyltransferase 5 (KAT5) and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) protein levels, the Khib levels increased quadratically (P < 0.01) during adipogenic differentiation of FAPs. KAT5 knockdown in FAPs inhibited adipogenic differentiation, while HDAC2 knockdown enhanced adipogenic differentiation. We also demonstrated that Khib modification favored to adipogenic differentiation and fat accumulation by comparing Khib levels in FAPs and backfat tissues both derived from obese-type pigs (Laiwu pigs) and lean-type pigs (Duroc pigs), respectively. Accordingly, the expression patterns of KAT5 and HDAC2 matched well to the degree of backfat accumulation in obese- and lean-type pigs. Conclusions From the perspective of protein translational modification, we are the first to reveal the role of Khib in adipogenesis and fat deposition in pigs, and provided new clues for the improvement of fat accumulation and distribution as expected via genetic selection and nutritional strategy in obese-type pigs.
