Introduction: The molecular regulation mechanism of fat deposition in bovine and its improvement on beef quality are important research directions in the livestock industry. The research of molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation and differentiation of adipocytes may conduct to understand the mechanism of obesity, lipid disorders, and fat deposition. In the recent decade, small-molecule compounds have been widely used in reprogramming and transdifferentiation fields, which can promote the induction efficiency, replace exogenous genes, or even induce cell fate conversion alone. Furthermore, small-molecule compound induction is expected to be a novel approach to generate new cell types from somatic cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: In this study, we established rapid chemically induced platform for transdifferentiation of bovine ear fibroblasts into adipocyte-like cells using a small-molecule cocktail (Repsox, VPA, TTNPB). The chemically induced adipocytes (CiADCs) were characterized by lipid staining, qRT-PCR and WB. Bovine natural adipocytes were used as positive control, and the expression of adipocyte-related marker genes in CiADCs were analyzed. Moreover, RNA-Seq explore the mechanism of RVB in the regulation of Bovine adipocyte transdifferentiation. Results: In this study, the chemically induced adipocytes (CiADCs) could be identified as early as day 6. The CiADCs appeared to be circular and rich of lipid droplets. The adipocyte-specific genes of LPL, PPARγ, IGF1, GPD1, C/EBPδ, ADIPOQ, PCK2, FAS, C/EBPβ, PPARGC1A, C/EBPα, and CFD were detected to be significantly upregulated in both CiADCs and natural adipocytes. Western blot analysis also confirmed the increase C/EBPα and PPARγ protein level in induced adipocytes (CiADCs-6d) treated with RVB. In addition, we also found that the signaling pathways (PPAR signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and ECM-receptor interaction) regulated by the DEGs played a vital role in adipogenesis.
