| Abstract | Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by down-regulating it. Several studies have suggested that miRNAs plays a crucial role in mammalian skin color production. The TYRP1 gene, a member of the tyrosine family, is an important candidate gene that affects melanogenesis. This study aimed to identify genes and miRNAs that affect melanin production in Xiang pigs by transcriptome sequencing, and to validate their targeted regulatory relationships. Results 17 miRNAs and 1,230 genes were significantly differentially expressed (P < 0.05) in the black and white skin tissues of Jianbai Xiang pigs. miRNA-221-3p was identified as a candidate miRNA for melanin formation and its target gene, TYRP1, was selected. The TYRP1 gene is a member of the TYR gene family, which evolved from the TYR gene through chromosome segmental duplication. The function of the gene was highly conserved throughout the evolutionary process. overexpression of TYRP1 gene significantly increased the expression of TYR, TYRP1, and DCT genes P < 0.01, which led to an increase in the relative content of melanin. Silencing of TYRP1 through the use of TYRP1-siRNA significantly reduced the expression of TYR, TYRP1, and DCT genes in Jianbai Xiang pig melanocytes P < 0.01, which in turn decreased the relative melanin content. The targeted binding relationship between ssc-miR-221-3p and TYRP1 gene was validated. After transfection of porcine melanocytes with ssc-miR-221-3p mimic, the expression of ssc-miR-221-3p was significantly up-regulated (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the mRNA and protein levels of TYR, TYRP1, and DCT genes were significantly down-regulated (P < 0.01), and melanin content in cells was significantly reduced (P < 0.01). Conclusion The TYRP1 gene affects melanogenesis in melanocytes of Jianbai Xiang pigs, and ssc-miR-221-3p targets the TYRP1 gene to regulate melanogenesis in melanocytes of Jianbai Xiang pigs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
