Associations between candidate SNPs in the calpain 1, calpastatin and leptin genes and meat tenderness among Swedish beef populations

Abstract

The contribution of three candidate genes to the variation in meat tenderness was tested in muscle samples from 243 pure-bred, young, beef bulls of Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Limousin and Simmental breeds, raised in Swedish commercial herds. The animals were genotyped for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the calpain 1 (CAPN1), calpastatin (CAST) and leptin genes. The frequent calpain 1 CAPN1:c.947G>C G allele showed an unfavourable association with tenderness. The calpastatin CAST:c.155C>T T allele, which was the most common allele, showed a favourable association with Warner–Bratzler shear force (WBSF) and compression tests. An association was observed between the leptin UASMS2C>T SNP and compression tests.     

猪IGF2基因G3072A位点多态性及其与大白猪初生重和早期生长的关系

本研究采用PCR-SSCP技术对猪胰岛素样生长因子2（IGF2）基因G3072A位点在大白、长白和杜洛克猪群体的单核苷酸多态性（SNP）进行了检测，对其与大白猪初生重和早期生长的关系进行了分析。结果表明，在所分析的大白、长白和杜洛克猪群体的511个体中，IGF2基因在该位点均呈现多态性，大白、长白和杜洛克猪群体AA、AB和BB基因型均有分布，且大白和长白猪群体均显著偏离Hardy-Weinberg平衡（P〈0．01），而杜洛克猪群未偏离Hardy-Weinberg平衡（P〉0．05）。测序结果显示，等位基因A和B分别对应于核苷酸A和G，在A等位基因中，有（AG）二核苷酸的插入。关联分析表明，在大白猪群中，AA、AB和BB基因型个体的初生重差异显著（P〈0．05），AA和AB基因型个体的21、28和70日龄体重以及从出生～21日龄、21～28日龄、28～70日龄的日增重差异不显著（P〉0．1）。     

莱芜猪ACSL4和H-FABP基因的多态性及育种应用

选取了106头莱芜猪核心群及部分后备猪,用PCR-RFLP的方法分别检测了酰基辅酶A合成酶长链4（Acly-CoA synthetase long chain family 4,ACSL4）基因的SNP G2645A位点和心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白（Heart fatty acid-binding protein,H-FABP）基因的HinfⅠ及MspⅠ位点的多态性。结果显示,在ACSL4的SNP G2645A位点共检测到AG和GG 2种基因型,没有检测到AA基因型;G等位基因是优势等位基因;莱芜猪该位点呈高度多态。在H-FABP的HinfⅠ位点共检测到HH、Hh和hh 3种基因型,莱芜猪在该位点呈中度多态。莱芜猪在上述2个位点均处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态。经测序验证,莱芜猪H-FABP基因HinfⅠ位点的多态性是1 324位点T的插入、缺失所造成的。莱芜猪在H-FABP的MspⅠ位点没有多态性。在莱芜猪本品种选育中,可以顺序选择ACSL4G2645A位点GG基因型纯合个体和H-FABP HinfⅠ位点HH基因型纯合个体,提高莱芜猪IMF性状的均一性,将进一步促进莱芜猪种质的保护和利用。     

New alleles in calpastatin gene are associated with meat quality traits in pigs

Suggestive QTL affecting raw firmness scores and average Instron force, tenderness, juiciness, and chewiness on cooked meat were mapped to pig chromosome 2 using a three-generation intercross between Berkshire and Yorkshire pigs. Based on its function and location, the calpastatin (CAST) gene was considered to be a good candidate for the observed effects. Several missense and silent mutations were identified in CAST and haplotypes covering most of the coding region were constructed and used for association analyses with meat quality traits. Results demonstrated that one CAST haplotype was significantly associated with lower Instron force and cooking loss and higher juiciness and, therefore, this haplotype is associated with higher eating quality. Some of the sequence variation identified may be associated with differences in phosphorylation of CAST by adenosine cyclic 3', 5'-monophosphate-dependent protein kinase and may in turn explain the meat quality phenotypic differences. The beneficial haplotype was present in all the commercial breeds tested and may provide significant improvements for the pig industry and consumers because it can be used in marker-assisted selection to produce naturally tender and juicy pork without additional processing steps.     

Polymorphism of SNP Site rs80894395 and its Association with the Body Size of Xiang Pig

To explore the functional genes affecting the growth and development of Xiang pig, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site rs80894395, located at intron 10 of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (GALNT2) gene was screened out by Illumina Porcine SNP60K chip, which showed a weak association with the abdomen circumference of pig.Further, the genotypes of site rs80894395 in 520 female Xiang pigs were detected using allele-specific PCR(AS-PCR) method, taking 43 Yorkshire pigs and 36 Kele pigs as control groups.All of CC, CT and TT genotypes were detected from the three pig breeds.The dominant genotype of Xiang pig was CT genotype and it was positively weak-associated with its body measurement indexes including body weight, body length, and abdomen circumference.The CC genotype was dominant genotype in Yorkshire pig, and the frequency of T allele was extremely significant decreased compared with that of Xiang pig (P<0.01).There was no difference in the frequencies of CC and CT genotypes in Kele pig, and its allele frequencies was not significantly different compared with that of Xiang or Yorkshire pig breeds (P>0.05).A splice-site nearby site rs80894395 was found out using bioinformatics prediction software, which might affect the splicing process of GALNT2 gene.It suggested that site rs80894395 might have a connection with the growth and development of Xiang pig.     

香猪SNP位点rs80894395的多态性及其与体尺指标之间的关联研究

为了探究影响香猪生长发育的功能基因,本试验利用Illumina Porcine SNP60K芯片筛选出N-乙酰氨基半乳糖转移酶2(polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2,GALNT2)基因内含子10中一个与腹围呈弱相关的单核苷酸多态性(single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP)位点rs80894395。在此基础上应用等位基因特异性PCR(allele-specific PCR,AS-PCR)技术检测520头雌性香猪群体中该位点的基因型,并与43头大白猪、36头柯乐猪相比较。结果表明,从3个猪群体中检测到rs80894395位点的CC、CT和TT3种基因型;其中香猪群体以CT为优势基因型,且基因型与香猪的体重、体长和腹围呈弱的正相关;大白猪群体以CC基因型为主,T等位基因频率较香猪极显著减少(P<0.01);柯乐猪群体中CC与CT基因型频率相等,与香猪和大白猪的基因频率间的差异不显著(P>0.05)。生物信息学分析表明,rs80894395位点可能影响GALNT2基因的剪接过程。rs80894395与香猪的生长发育可能有一定的联系。     

Evaluation of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in CAPN1 for association with meat tenderness in cattle

Micromolar calcium activated neutral protease (CAPN1) was evaluated as a candidate gene for a quantitative trait locus (QTL) on BTA29 affecting meat tenderness by characterization of nucleotide sequence variation in the gene. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were identified by sequencing all 22 exons and 19 of the 21 introns in two sires (Piedmontese x Angus located at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, NE; Jersey x Limousin located at AgResearch in New Zealand) of independent resource populations previously shown to be segregating meat tenderness QTL on BTA29. The majority of the 38 SNP were found in introns or were synonymous substitutions in the coding regions, with two exceptions. Exons 14 and 9 contained SNP that were predicted to alter the protein sequence by the substitution of isoleucine for valine in Domain III of the protein, and alanine for glycine in Domain II of the protein. The resource populations were genotyped for these two SNP in addition to six intronic polymorphisms and two silent substitutions. Analysis of genotypes and shear force values in both populations revealed a difference between paternal CAPN1 alleles in which the allele encoding isoleucine at position 530 and glycine at position 316 associated with decreased meat tenderness (increased shear force values) relative to the allele encoding valine at position 530 and alanine at position 316 (P < 0.05). The association of maternal alleles with meat tenderness phenotypes is consistent with the hypothesis of CAPN1 as the gene underlying the QTL effect in two independent resource populations and presents the possibility of using these markers for selective breeding to reduce the numbers of animals with unfavorable meat tenderness traits.     

香猪卵巢StAR和CYP11A1基因的差异表达研究

为了揭示香猪繁殖调控的分子机制,本试验结合生物信息学分析方法对StAR和CYP11A1基因在香猪卵巢组织中的差异表达进行分析。运用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测高、低产群体6月龄香猪卵巢组织中StAR和CYP11A1基因的表达量变化;从香猪基因组中克隆两个基因的启动子区域,分析两个基因表达差异的分子机制。高通量转录组测序和实时荧光定量PCR检测结果均显示,高产香猪两个基因的表达量较高,启动子区序列长分别为1 144与970 bp。StAR基因启动子区结合转录因子ER、COUP、Sp1等34种72个,转录起始位点上游68~698 bp存在8个变异位点,但不影响转录因子的结合;与CYP11A1基因启动子区相结合的转录因子为Sp1、PU.1、C/EBPdel等30种75个,转录起始位点上游12~593 bp存在5个变异位点,其中69 bp处检测到C-T变异,高产香猪的T等位基因检出频率为17%,低产香猪为33%;对预测结果整合分析,T等位基因丢失了转录因子Sp1的结合位点。高、低产香猪之间StAR和CYP11A1基因的表达存在差异,CYP11A1基因启动子区69 bp处的变异可能是基因表达量差异的原因之一。     

The Polymorphisms of MSTN Gene and Its Relationship with Meat Quanlity Traits in Gaopo Pig

To explore the influence of Gaopo pig myostatin (MSTN) gene polymorphism on meat quanlity traits (moisture,crude fat,crude protein,crude ash, loin muscle area, marbling score, pH value, color of meat,tenderness,drip loss, water loss rate), MSTN gene was chosen as a candidate gene for research meat quality traits in this study. 50 Gaopo pigs at 10 months old were selected,the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of three exons of MSTN gene in Gaopo pig were detected by direct sequencing of PCR amplification products, and the correlation between MSTN gene SNP and meat quality traits was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 software. The results showed that a C/T mutation had been found at 63 bp of MSTN gene exon 3,the site was silent mutation, and did not caused changes of encoding amino acid. Genotype analysis showed only three samples had mutations in the site, CC genotype was the dominant type and allele C was the dominant gene, but there was no TT homozygous genotype. The test of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium showed the research group obeyed the genetic equilibrium (P>0.05). Population genetic parameter analysis showed the heterozygosity (He) of C63T was lower, and had a low variation in Gaopo pig population. Polymorphism information content (PIC) analysis showed that it was a low polymorphic loci (PIC<0.25), and the site could provide a little genetic imformation. There was no significant difference between the different genotypes and meat quality traits (P>0.05).Given the above, the polymorphism of MSTNgene exon was found in Gaopo pig, with less variation and relatively conservative.It's needed to expand the number of sample for further explore whether the site could be considered as genetic markers for meat quality traits of Gaopo pig or not.     

高坡猪肌肉生长抑制素基因多态性及其与肉质性状的相关性分析

为了探讨肌肉生长抑制素（myostatin,MSTN）基因的多态性对高坡猪肉质性状（水分、粗脂肪、粗蛋白质、粗灰分、眼肌面积、大理石纹、pH、肉色、嫩度、滴水损失、失水率）的影响,试验以MSTN基因作为肉质性状候选基因,以10月龄的50头高坡猪为研究对象,采用PCR扩增产物直接测序的方法对高坡猪MSTN基因3个外显子的单核苷酸多态性（SNP）进行研究,运用SPSS 20.0软件分析MSTN基因SNP与肉质性状的关联性。结果表明,仅在高坡猪MSTN基因第3外显子63 bp处检测到1个C/T突变位点,该突变为同义突变,未引起编码氨基酸的改变。基因型分析发现,仅有3个个体在该位点发生突变,CC基因型为优势基因型,C为优势等位基因,无TT纯合基因型。经χ²适合性检验分析,该SNP在研究群体中处于Hardy-Weinberg平衡状态（P>0.05）。群体遗传参数分析发现,C63T标记位点的杂合度（He）相对较低,表明其在高坡猪群体中的变异较小;就多态信息含量（PIC）而言,该位点属于低度多态（PIC<0.25）,说明该遗传标记能够提供少量的遗传信息。将该位点的不同基因型与肉质性状指标进行关联分析表明,所有肉质性状指标在不同基因型间差异均不显著（P>0.05）。综上所述,MSTN基因外显子在高坡猪中存在多态性,但变异较少,相对保守,能否作为高坡猪肉质性状的遗传标记有待于扩大样本数量进一步研究。

Assessment of single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes residing on chromosomes 14 and 29 for association with carcass composition traits in Bos indicus cattle

Objective of this study was to assess the association of SNP in the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), thyroglobulin (TG), and micromolar calcium-activated neutral protease (CAPN1) genes with carcass composition and meat quality traits in Bos indicus cattle. A population of Brahman calves (n = 479) was developed in central Florida from 1996 to 2000. Traits analyzed were ADG, hip height, slaughter weight, fat thickness, HCW, marbling score, LM area, estimated KPH fat, yield grade, retail yield, sensory panel tenderness score, carcass hump height, and cooked meat tenderness measured as Warner-Bratzler shear force at 7, 14, and 21 d postmortem. Single nucleotide polymorphisms previously reported in the TG and DGAT1 genes were used as markers on chromosome 14. Two previously reported and two new SNP in the CAPN1 gene were used as markers on chromosome 29. One SNP in CAPN1 was uninformative, and another one was associated with tenderness score (P < 0.05), suggesting the presence of variation affecting meat tenderness. All three informative SNP at the CAPN1 gene were associated with hump height (P < 0.02). The TG marker was associated with fat thickness and LMA (P < 0.05), but not with marbling score. No significant associations of the SNP in the DGAT1 gene were observed for any trait. Allele frequencies of the SNP in TG and CAPN1 were different in this Brahman population than in reported allele frequencies in Bos taurus populations. The results suggest that the use of molecular marker information developed in Bos taurus populations to Bos indicus populations may require development of appropriate additional markers.
