This study identified novel transcript variants of mouse Rarres2 and found limited role for alternative splicing in generating chemerin isoform diversity, except in brown adipose tissue. Only one transcript variant of human RARRES2 was present in liver and adipose tissue.
Background Chemerin is a chemoattractant protein with adipokine and antimicrobial properties encoded by the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) gene. Chemerin bioactivity largely depends on carboxyl-terminal proteolytic processing that generates chemerin isoforms with different chemotactic, regulatory, and antimicrobial potentials. While these mechanisms are relatively well known, the role of alternative splicing in generating isoform diversity remains obscure.Methods and results Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR, we determined RARRES2 transcript variants present in mouse and human tissues and identified novel transcript variant 4 of mouse Rarres2 encoding mChem153K. Moreover, analyses of real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and publicly-available next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets showed that different alternatively spliced variants of mouse Rarres2 are present in mouse tissues and their expression patterns were unaffected by inflammatory and infectious stimuli except brown adipose tissue. However, only one transcript variant of human RARRES2 was present in liver and adipose tissue.Conclusion Our findings indicate a limited role for alternative splicing in generating chemerin isoform diversity under all tested conditions.
