Lipid metabolism has an important role in animal growth, development, and reproduction. As a regulator of lipid metabolism, CIDEc promotes unilocular development of lipid droplets and stimulates intracellular lipid deposition, and has two isoforms, CIDEc-l and CIDEc-s. CIDEc-l has ten more N-terminal amino acids than CIDEc-s. However, the functions of two isoforms are largely unknown. In this study, the expression profiles of two isoforms in Bama pigs differed, with cidec-l dominant in the liver and small intestine, and cidec-s dominant in muscle and adipose tissue. Fasting and consuming a high-fat diet resulted in changes in the expression of the two isoforms that were closely related to changes in blood and muscle triglyceride (TG) concentrations. Comparison of gene expression and TG concentration suggested that CIDEc-l accelerated lipid secretion and that CIDEc-s promoted lipid deposition, implying that the two isoforms had different functions. Study In vitro confirmed that CIDEc-s stimulated lipid deposition in C2C12 muscle cells and CIDEc-l promoted lipid secretion in HepG2 liver cells. The results showed that two tissue-specific CIDEc isoforms had different roles in lipid deposition and secretion. They may be potential targets for regulation of fat content.
