Here, we report the generation of a pig SMC line. Our original objective was to establish an enteroendocrine cell line from the pig ileum epithelium through lentiviral transduction of the Simian Virus (SV) 40 large T antigen. However, an initial expression analysis of marker genes in nine cell clones revealed that none of them were enteroendocrine cells or absorptive enterocytes, goblet cells, or Paneth cells, some of the major cell types existing in the ileum epithelium. A more detailed characterization of one clone named PIC7 by RNA-seq showed that these cells expressed many of the known smooth muscle-specific or -enriched genes, including smooth muscle actin alpha 2, calponin 1, calponin 3, myosin heavy chain 11, myosin light chain kinase, smoothelin, tenascin C, transgelin, tropomyosin 1, and tropomyosin 2. Both quantitative PCR and RNA-seq analyses showed that the PIC7 cells had a high expression of mRNA for smooth muscle actin gamma 2, also known as enteric smooth muscle actin. A Western blot analysis confirmed the expression of SV40 T antigen in the PIC7 cells. An immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated the expression of smooth muscle actin alpha 2 filaments in the PIC7 cells. A collagen gel contraction assay showed that the PIC7 cells were capable of both spontaneous contraction and contraction in response to serotonin stimulation. We conclude that the PIC7 cells are derived from an enteric SMC from the pig ileum. These cells may be a useful model for studying the cellular and molecular physiology of pig enteric SMCs. Because pigs are similar to humans in anatomy and physiology, the PIC7 cells may be also used as a model for human intestinal SMCs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skaa102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T12:05:30Z","timestamp":1586174730000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Generation of an enteric smooth muscle cell line from the pig ileum"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Xu","family":"Ji","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China"},{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengcheng","family":"Lyu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA"},{"name":"Animal Nutrition Institute, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen","family":"Yao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Animal Science and Technology, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Honglin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal and Poultry Sciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020071414323358800_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejcb.2013.06.002","article-title":"Smooth muscle actin isoforms: a tug of war between contraction and compliance","volume":"92","author":"Arnoldi","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur.
