钙蛋白酶3(CAPN3)基因多态性与牛胴体性状的关联分析

为了探讨钙蛋白酶3(Calpain3,CAPN3)基因作为影响牛肉质性状候选基因的可能性,寻找与牛肉质性状相关的分子标记,对CAPN3基因的5′端区域进行SNPs检测,分析不同基因型在不同品种或者组合群体间的分布规律。利用测序和PCR-RFLP的方法进行SNPs检测和基因型分析,计算等位基因频率、各位点多态信息含量。结果发现,2546位处发生点突变C→T。各位点的3种基因型与牛生产性状的最小二乘分析结果表明,AB与BB基因型个体在胴体质量指标上存在显著差异(P0.05)。初步推断CAPN3基因可能是影响牛肉质性状潜在的主效基因或与主效基因连锁,并且这个位点具有成为分子标记的潜在可能。

旨在通过转录组测序(RNA-Seq)与加权基因共表达网络分析(weighted gene co-expression network analysis,WGCNA)筛选慢速型黄羽肉鸡天农麻鸡胴体性状相关候选基因。本研究以104只天农麻鸡为素材,在126日龄时进行屠宰,测定胸肌重等7个胴体性状,采集胸肌组织进行RNA-Seq。基于RNA-Seq数据获得基因表达矩阵后,结合表型进行WGCNA分析,确定目标模块,筛选目标模块的枢纽基因,并分别进行KEGG通路富集、蛋白质互作网络(protein-protein interaction network,PPI)构建和相关性分析。104份胸肌组织RNA-Seq质控后获得15 092个基因的表达量。与胴体表型进行WGCNA,共得到19个模块,其中4个模块与胴体性状极显著相关。功能富集结果表明,目标模块内基因主要富集在ECM-受体相互作用、黏着力等通路。以|Module membership|> 0.8、|Gene significance|> 0.2为标准筛选到58个枢纽基因,并通过PPI网络构建鉴定到5个网络节点基因,整合相关性分析确定COL1A2和SPARC为最重要候选基因。本研究通过大样本量转录组分析,发现ECM-受体相互作用等通路在天农麻鸡胴体性状调控中发挥主要作用,筛选到COL1A2和SPARC是影响全净膛率性状的重要候选基因,研究结果为鉴定选育分子标记,解析胴体性状分子机制奠定理论基础,为慢速型黄羽肉鸡育种提供重要参考。     

Genome-wide association studies of preweaning growth and in vivo carcass composition traits in Esme sheep

Sheep are considered as a major contributor of global food security. Moreover, sheep preweaning growth traits as well as in vivo carcass composition traits such as ultrasonic measurements of Longissimus dorsi muscle depth (UMD) and back-fat thickness (UFD) are crucially important indicators of meat yield and hot carcass composition. Despite their relative importance for productivity and profitability of a sheep production system, detected QTL for these traits are quite scarce. Therefore, we implemented GWAS for these traits using animal mixed model-based association approach provided by GenABEL in Esme sheep. Three genome-wide and 14 individual chromosome-wide associated SNPs were discovered. As a result, ESRP1, LOC105613082, ZNF641, DUSP5, TEAD1, SMOX, PTPRT, RALYL, POM121C, PHIP, LOC101106051, ZIM3, PEG3, TRPC7, FBXL4, LOC105610397, LOC105616489 and DNAAF2 were suggested as candidates. Some of the discovered genes and involved pathways were already annotated to contribute growth and development in various species including human, mice and cattle. All in all, the results of this study are expected to strongly contribute to shed a light on the underlying molecular mechanisms behind growth and carcass composition traits, with potential implications on studies aiming faster genetic improvement, targeted low-resolution SNP panel designs and genome-editing studies.     

26~45日龄竹丝鸡饲粮粗蛋白质需要量研究

【目的】 研究饲粮粗蛋白质水平对26~45日龄竹丝公鸡生长性能、胴体性状和血清生化指标的影响,为此生长阶段粗蛋白质精准供给提供理论基础。【方法】 1 625只26日龄竹丝肉公鸡根据体重一致原则分为5个处理组,每个处理组5个重复,每个重复65只鸡,各处理组饲粮粗蛋白质水平依次为18.5％、19.5％、20.5％、21.5％和22.5％,试验期20 d。每个重复于试验结束当天挑选接近平均体重的2只鸡屠宰,制备血清和分割屠体,测定胴体性状和血清生化指标。【结果】 ①饲粮粗蛋白质水平极显著影响肉鸡终末体重、平均日增重和料重比(P<0.01),随着粗蛋白质水平的升高,终末体重和平均日增重呈线性和二次曲线升高(P<0.01),料重比呈线性和二次曲线降低(P<0.01)。饲粮粗蛋白质水平对肉鸡平均日采食量和成活率无显著影响(P>0.05)。②饲粮粗蛋白质水平显著或极显著影响肉鸡屠宰率(P<0.01)、半净膛率(P<0.01)和全净膛率(P<0.05),但对胸肌率、腿肌率和腹脂率无显著影响(P>0.05),且屠宰率和半净膛率随粗蛋白质水平的升高呈线性和二次曲线降低(P<0.01或P<0.05)。③饲粮粗蛋白质水平极显著影响肉鸡血清胰岛素样生长因子1(IGF-1)和胆固醇(TC)含量(P<0.01),且TC含量随粗蛋白质水平的升高呈线性降低(P<0.05)。饲粮粗蛋白质水平对肉鸡血清尿素氮(BUN)和甘油三酯(TG)含量无显著影响(P>0.05)。【结论】 饲粮21.5％粗蛋白质水平可改善肉鸡生长性能,19.5％~20.5％粗蛋白质水平可改善胴体性状,18.5％粗蛋白质水平可调节脂代谢。根据二次曲线模型估测,建议此生长阶段竹丝鸡饲粮粗蛋白质水平为21.41％~21.83％,可获得最佳生长性能。     

牛SCD1基因C878T位点遗传多态性与中国西门塔尔牛部分脂肪相关性状的效应分析

为探索8个中国牛群SCD1基因多态性与屠宰和肉质性状的相关性,选取中国西门塔尔牛、雷琼牛、云南高峰牛、BMY牛、闽南黄牛、鲁西黄牛、渤海黑牛和中国南方荷斯坦牛等8个群体共682头个体为研究对象,采用PCR-SSCP法分析SCD1基因遗传多态性。结果表明,在878bp处发现1个碱基C→T的突变(C878T),导致蛋白质肽链中丙氨酸(alanine)突变为缬氨酸(valine)。C878T位点在所研究群体中表现为CC、CT和TT3种基因型,其中,中国西门塔尔牛中TT基因型频率较高(0.114),鲁西黄牛和渤海黑牛中较低(0.050/0.063),4个热带群体中未发现TT基因型。采用GLM对SCD1基因C878T位点与132头中国西门塔尔屠宰牛的部分脂肪相关性状进行关联分析。结果,CC基因型个体肌间脂肪含量和肠系膜油质量显著高于TT型个体(P<0.05),背膘厚极显著低于TT型个体(P<0.01),其他性状间差异不显著(P>0.05)。结果表明,SCD1基因C878T位点突变对中国西门塔尔牛脂肪相关性状有较大的遗传效应,可用于其部分屠宰与肉质性状的分子标记辅助选择。     

Effect of dietary supplemental nicotinic acid on growth performance,carcass characteristics and meat quality in three genotypes of chicken

The effects of dietary supplemental nicotinic acid (NA) on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality were investigated in three genotypes of chicken. Fast‐growing AA (Arbor Acres) broilers were compared with two genotypes of a slow‐growing local breed, Beijing‐You, that had undergone selection for and against intramuscular fat content respectively (BJY+IMF and BJY?IMF). The treatments were arranged 3 × 4 factorial completely randomized design. Day‐old females (n = 624) were allocated to four treatments with six replicates per treatment and fed diets (basal contained ～25 mg NA/kg) supplemented with 0, 30, 60 and 120 mg NA/kg. A sample of 72 birds from each genotype was slaughtered at market time (8 weeks of age for AA and 16 weeks of age for BJY). The breast muscles of AA broilers were darker, had less redness and yellowness, lower drip loss and higher shear force as compared to the BJY genotypes (p < 0.01). The highest drip loss and the lowest shear force among the three genotypes were apparent in BJY+IMF (p < 0.01). Increasing supplementation from 0 to 60 mg NA/kg tended to increase average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake, width of intermuscular fat band, thickness of subcutaneous fat (including skin) and percentage of abdominal fat but, for most variables, values decreased slightly with 120 mg NA/kg. Increasing supplementation to 60 mg NA/kg decreased (quadratic, p < 0.001) drip loss, but it increased at 120 mg NA/kg. The present results indicate that (i) the AA broilers fed corn–soybean meal based‐diets require approximately 60 mg NA/kg to maximize ADG and meat product yield and decrease the drip loss of breast muscle; (ii) the addition of 30 mg NA/kg meets the requirement of BJY genotypes; and (iii) there seems to be no beneficial effect of NA supplementation on chicken meat quality except for limiting the drip loss.
