Then, the TAP1 (Transporter associated with antigen processing) mRNA relative expression levels were analyzed in 11 tissues of the resistant and susceptible phenotypes. Simultaneously, we detected the genetic variations in exon 3 of the TAP1 gene and evaluated the TAP1 mRNA expression levels among the different genotype pigs to study the effects of the genetic variation on gene expression, and the E. coli F18 resistance. The results revealed higher expression levels in the resistant genotypes than that in the susceptible genotypes in 11 tissues, with significant differences in the spleen, lymph node, lung, thymus, duodenum and jejunum. Furthermore, a G729A mutation was identified in the TAP1 gene exon 3, and this mutation deviates from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium  (p &lt; 0.01). The TAP1 mRNA levels in GG genotype were significantly higher than that in  the other two genotypes, with significant differences in the liver, lung, kidney, thymus, lymph node, duodenum and jejunum tissues. We speculated that high expression of the TAP1 gene might confer resistance against the E. coli F18, the G729A mutation had a significant effect on the mRNA expression, and individuals with the GG genotype possessed a stronger ability to resist the E. coli F18 infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms150611161","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,20]],"date-time":"2014-06-20T11:34:08Z","timestamp":1403264048000},"page":"11161-11171","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Genetic Variations of TAP1 Gene Exon 3 Affects Gene Expression and Escherichia coli F18 Resistance in Piglets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Qiaohui","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenhua","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiping","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yongjiu","family":"Huo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shenglong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenbin","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory for Animal Genetics, Breeding, Reproduction and Molecular Design,  College of Animal Science and Technology, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2446","DOI":"10.1007\/s00018-004-4113-0","article-title":"Evolutionary and functional perspectives of the major histocompatibility complex class I antigen processing machinery","volume":"61","author":"Paulsson","year":"2004","journal-title":"Cell.
