The changes of transcriptome profile in porcine SAT after cold exposure. (A) Volcano plot of differently expressed genes (DEGs). Log2 fold changes in exons of RNA-seq gene bodies in COLD versus RT pigs and the corresponding significance values displayed as log10 (P value). In total, 536 and 621 genes were identified that had induced (red) or repressed (blue) expression levels by cold exposure, gray denotes genes with no significant changes. (B) Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. (C) Functional enrichment analyses using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways. (D, E) Heatmaps of the TPM expression values of selected thermogenesis, fatty acid metabolism regulated genes from the RNA-seq dataset. (F–H) KEGG results of the cold-induced enrichment of genes involved in adipocytokine signaling pathway (F), apoptosis (G), PI3K-Akt signaling pathway (H).
