As a result, goose offers an excellent model for studying obesity, metabolic disorders, and liver diseases in mammals. Although the impact of the three-dimensional arrangement of chromatin within the cell nucleus on gene expression and transcriptional regulation is widely acknowledged, the precise functions of chromatin architecture reorganization during fat deposition in goose liver tissues still need to be fully comprehended.Results In this study, geese exhibited more pronounced changes in the liver index and triglyceride(TG) content following the consumption of the high-fat diet(HFD) than mice without significant signs of inflammation. Additionally, we performed comprehensive analyses on 10 goose liver tissues(5 HFD, 5 normal), including generating highresolution maps of chromatin architecture, conducting whole-genome gene expression profiling, and identifying H3K27ac peaks in the livers of geese and mice subjected to the HFD. Our results unveiled a multiscale restructuring of chromatin architecture, encompassing Compartment A/B, topologically associated domains, and interactions between promoters and enhancers. The dynamism of the three-dimensional genome architecture, prompted by the HFD, assumed a pivotal role in the transcriptional regulation of crucial genes. Furthermore, we identified genes that regulate chromatin conformation changes, contributing to the metabolic adaptation process of lipid deposition and hepatic fat changes in geese in response to excessive energy intake. Moreover, we conducted a cross-species analysis comparing geese and mice exposed to the HFD, revealing unique characteristics specific to the goose liver compared to a mouse. These chromatin conformation changes help elucidate the observed characteristics of fat deposition and hepatic fat regulation in geese under conditions of excessive energy intake.Conclusions We examined the dynamic modifications in three-dimensional chromatin architecture and gene expression induced by an HFD in goose liver tissues. We conducted a cross-species analysis comparing that of mice. Our results contribute significant insights into the chromatin architecture of goose liver tissues, offering a novel perspective for investigating mammal liver diseases.展开更多

RT-PCR was used to determine the expression levels of PPAR genes. Quantity one software was used to analyze absorbency, and the expression level of GAPDH gene was used as contrast. Expression levels of PPAR-α were relatively high in most of detected tissues but undetectable in abdominal fat tissue before overfeeding, and the level was evidently increased in lung, appeared in abdominal fat tissue, and reduced in the other tissues after overfeeding. Expressed PPAR-γ levels were relatively high in liver, spleen, lung, small intestine, and abdominal fat, and relatively low in the other tissues before overfeeding. Expressed PPAR-γ levels were enhanced in liver, spleen, lung, stomach, and kidney but decreased in abdominal fat and without obvious changes in the other tissues. Expression patterns of PPAR genes show tissue-specific manner. In addition, expression patterns of PPAR-α are different from PPAR-γ after overfeeding. It might suggest that different functions of PPAR subtypes are responsive to overfeeding.展开更多
