Nandan-Yao chicken is a Chinese native chicken with lower fat deposition and better meat quality. Fat deposition is a quite complex and important economic trait. However, its molecular mechanism is still unknown in chickens. In the current study, Nandan-Yao chicken was divided into two groups based on the rate of abdominal fat at 120 days old, namely the high-fat group and low-fat group. The total RNAs were isolated and sequenced by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). After quality control, we gained 1222, 902, 784, 624, and 736 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in abdominal fat, back skin, liver, pectoral muscle, and leg muscle, respectively. Analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) showed that significantly enriched GO term and KEGG signaling pathway mainly involved cytosolic ribosome, growth development, PPAR signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, and linoleic acid metabolism in abdominal fat, back skin, and liver. While in pectoral muscle and leg muscle, it is mainly enriched in phosphatidylinositol signaling system, adrenergic signaling in cardiomyocytes, cytosolic ribosome, and cytosolic part. Sixteen genes were differentially expressed in all five tissues. Among them, PLA2G4A and RPS4Y1 might be the key regulators for fat deposition in Nandan-Yao chicken. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis of DEGs showed that PCK1 was the most notable genes. The findings in the current study will help to understand the regulation mechanism of abdominal fat and intramuscular fat in Nandan-Yao chicken and provide a theoretical basis for Chinese local chicken breeding.
