The inverted teat defect is the most common disorder of the teat in pigs. The number of genes involved in the development of this disorder is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the genome-wide gene expression profile in porcine teats at the lactating stage, to evaluate the differences between normal and defect teats in lactating sows, and to investigate functional candidate genes for the inverted teat defect in pigs. Samples of normal and defect teats were collected from lactating sows (n=2). RNA was extracted and further used for microarray analysis performed using genome-wide porcine Affymetrix arrays. Realtime PCR was performed to validate the expression of selected genes. Three additional genes were selected from their described function in the literature to analyse their expression profiles and to perform an association study using samples of animals from an experimental and commercial pig population.
The genome-wide expression analysis revealed 1253 differentially expressed transcripts between normal and inverted teats, of which 695 transcripts were found being higher and 558 transcripts lower expressed in normal compared to inverted teats. Validation of five selected genes using real-time PCR revealed a significantly higher expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-II) in inverted teats, whereas growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) was highly expressed in normal teats. For both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) no differentially expression could be verified. In conclusion, this study promotes the functional candidate genes CTGF, IGF-II, and GDF8 as candidates for the inverted teat defect in pigs. Also for two of the genes selected from the literature, relaxin 3 (RLN3) and G-protein coupled receptor 135 (GPCR135) were higher expressed in teats from affected sows compared to normal sow using real-time PCR. Two polymorphisms were detected in RLN3 and GPCR135, a significant association between the haplotype of RLN3 and the inverted teat defect was found.
