Adipogenic/lipogenic gene expression and fatty acid composition in chuck, loin, and round muscles in response to grain feeding of Yanbian Yellow cattle.

ABSTRACT: We hypothesized that gene expression and fatty acid composition would differ among different muscle depots and over time on a grain-based finishing diet. Additionally, we hypothesized that the concentration of SFA would decrease and the concentration of MUFA would increase proportionately with increases in percent intramuscular lipid (%IML). Ten Yanbian Yellow cattle steers (approximately 8 mo of age) were fed a corn-based diet in which the proportion of corn in the ration was increased at 4-mo intervals. Muscle samples were taken by biopsy from the chuck (trapezius), loin (longissimus dorsi), and round (biceps femoris) muscles at 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 mo of age. The %IML increased from 12 to 28 mo of age, especially between 24 and 28 mo of age, with loin > round > chuck (age × muscle interaction P < 0.001). The percentage (g/100 g total fatty acids) of oleic acid (18:1n-9), linoleic acid (18:2n-6), and ?-linolenic acid (18:3n-3), and the MUFA:SFA ratio increased with age, whereas palmitic (16:0) and stearic acid (18:0) decreased with age in all muscles (age effect P < 0.001). The expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP1), adipose tissue fatty acid- binding protein (FABP4), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC1), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) increased, whereas the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) and fatty acid synthase (FASN) decreased with age. Expression of PPAR?, FABP4, SREBP1, SCD, FASN, ACC1, and LPL was greater in the loin than in the chuck or round (age × muscle interaction P < 0.001), although the MUFA:SFA ratio was greater in the chuck than in the loin or round (muscle effect P < 0.001). In conclusion, adipogenic gene expression was greater in the loin than in the chuck or round muscles, consistent with the greater %IML of the loin. However, the greater SCD gene expression in the loin did not result in a greater amount of MUFA in the loin, relative to the chuck and round.

Project description:Anatomical site and divergent functionalities of muscles can be related to differences in IMF content, metabolism and adipogenic gene expression. Then, potential differences in different muscles in beef cattle were studied. As a second objective, the main sources of experimental variability associated to RT-qPCR results were analyzed following a nested design in order to implement appropriate experimental designs minimizing gene expression variability. To perform the study Longissimus thoracis (LT), Semitendinosus (SM), Masseter (MS), Sternomandibularis (ST) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) samples of Pirenaica young bulls (n = 4) were collected for IMF, collagen and protein quantification, analysis of adipocyte size distribution and gene expression (PPARG, CEBPA, FAPB4 and WNT10B). A greater IMF content was observed in MS and SM muscles, which had a bimodal adipocyte size distribution while it was unimodal in the muscles LT and ST. This suggest that the different IMF accretion in the muscles studied might be related to different rates of hyperplasia and hypertrophy and that IMF might develop later in LT and ST muscles. The former differences were not mirrored by the expression of the genes analyzed, which might be related to the different contribution of mature and non-mature adipocytes to the total gene expression. When comparing IMF and SAT gene expression, late and early developing tissues respectively, expression of PPARG, CEBPA and FABP4 was higher in the SAT, in agreement with bigger cell size and numbers. The variability study indicates that the analytical factors that add higher variability to the gene expression are the sampling and RT and therefore, it would be appropriate to include those replicates in the design of future experiments. Based on the results, the use of MS and SM muscles could allow less expensive experimental designs and bigger sample size that could permit the detection of lower relevant differences in gene expression.

Project description:Yanbian cattle is inhabitant of North of China, exhibiting many phenotypic features, such as long, dense body hair, and abundant intramuscular fat, designed to combat the extreme cold climate adaption. In the current study, we studied the cold tolerance of nine Yanbian cattle by whole genome resequencing and compared with African tropical cattle, N'Dama, as a control group. Yanbian cattle was aligned to the Bos taurus reference genome (ARS-UCD1.2) yielding an average of 10.8 fold coverage. The positive selective sweep analysis for the cold adaption in Yanbian cattle were analyzed using composite likelihood ratio (CLR) and nucleotide diversity (??), resulting in 292 overlapped genes. The strongest selective signal was found on BTA16 with potential mutation in CORT gene, a regulatory gene of primary hormone in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, is reported to be associated with the cold stress, representedfour missense mutations (c.269C > T, p.Lys90Ile; c.251A > G, p.Glu84Gly; c.112C > T, p.Pro38Ser; c.86G > A, p.Pro29His). Meanwhile another gene on BTA6, showed significantly higher selective sweep signals for a cold adapted trait for hair follicle and length development, FGF5 (fibroblast growth factor 5) with a missense mutation (c.191C > T, p.Ser64Phe). Moreover, cold adapted Yanbian cattle was statistically compared with the hot adapted N'Dama cattle, a taurine cattle reported to show superior heat tolerance than zebu cattle, making them better adapted to the hot regions of Africa. XP-CLR, Fst, and ?? ratio were used to compare both breeds, yielding 487, 924, and 346 genes respectively. Among the 12 overlapped genes, (CD36) (c.638A > G, p.Lys 213Arg) involved in fat digestion and absorption plays an important role in membrane transport of long-chain fatty acid and its expression could increase in cold exposure. Henceforth, our study provides a novel genetic insights into the cold climate adaptation of Yanbian cattle and identified three candidate genes (CORT, FGF5, and CD36), which can add to an understanding of the cold climate adaptation of Yanbian cattle.
