Project description:Intramuscular (i.m.) fat content influencing consumerâs acceptability of pork is considered as a limiting factor for meat quality. To gain insight into the biological basis of individual variability in i.m. fat content, both gene expression profiling and proteomic investigation were associated in pig longissimus muscle (LM). Keywords: intramuscular fat, gene expression, pigs, proteomics, microarray, pork meat Animals were sampled from a population of 1,000 pigs generated as an F2 intercross between two production sire lines: FH016 (Pietrain type, France Hybrides SA, St Jean de Braye, France) and FH019 (Synthetic line, from Duroc, Hampshire and Large White founders, France Hybrides SA, St Jean de Braye, France).

Project description:The content of intramuscular fat (IMF) is closely related to meat quality traits. In this study, in order to explore the candidate genes related to IMF content, the longissimus dorsi muscle of Guangling donkey was measured for intramuscular fat content. According to its intramuscular fat content, it was divided into two groups, the low fat group (L , N=3) and high-fat group (H, n=3), using RNA-seq to identify differentially expressed genes (DGEs) on the longissimus dorsi muscle tissue of Guangling donkey with high and low intramuscular fat content to reveal the possibility Gene network and metabolic pathways that help increase intramuscular fat content. A total of 167 DEGs (|log2Fold Change|>=1 and FDR<0.05) were detected in the high (H) and low (L) groups of Guangling donkeys, of which 64 were up-regulated genes and 103 were down-regulated genes. The GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analysis showed that these differential genes were enriched in several biological processes and pathways related to adipocyte differentiation, lipid biosynthesis, and neutral lipid metabolism. These results will help to further explore the molecular mechanism of IMF deposition in donkeys and provide a theoretical basis for the molecular breeding of Guangling donkeys.

Project description:Intramuscular fat (IMF) content in pork is an important element of consumer preference, and is positively correlated with meat quality, including tenderness and juiciness. With advances in RNA sequencing technologies, transcriptome-related differences can be associated with specific traits in animals. The objective of this study was to investigate the differentially expressed genes (DEG) closely related with IMF content in porcine longissimus muscle using RNA sequencing. A total of 107 Berkshire pigs were used for IMF content measurements and significant difference between extremely high (H, n=3) and low (L, n=3) IMF content groups was found (P < 0.0001). From multi-dimensional scaling analyses, it was observed that the relationships between H and L groups were similar to each other. Here, we identified a total of 134 genes that were differentially expressed between the groups (FDR < 0.05, and FC ≥ 2). Functional analyses with DEGs revealed that the lipid metabolism (SCD and FASN) was one of the significant biological processes related with IMF content determination. In addition, we also found that DEGs related with muscle regeneration (MYOG and VEGFA) and extracellular matrix (COL1A1, COL1A2, COL5A1, COL14A1, and COL15A1) were changed between individuals with the extreme IMF contents, interestingly. These results will aid in understanding the regulation of IMF contents in pigs.

Project description:The intramuscular fat (IMF) content of different beef cattle breeds varies greatly, which plays an important role in taste and nutritional value. However, the molecular mechanism of fat metabolism and deposition in beef cattle is still not very clear. In this study, the meat quality traits of Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle were compared, the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) between Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle was then analyzed to identify key genes related to fat metabolism and adipogenesis by high-throughput RNA-seq technology. In the current study conducted a comprehensive analysis on the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) of Angus and Simmental cattle, and identified differentially expressed genes related to lipid metabolism，which may have a great impact on on the formation of IMF.

Project description:The experiment aimed at studying gene expression differences in longissimus dorsi muscle from pigs from two groups: High versus low intramuscular fat (IMF). The animals were selected from a crossbred population of Landrace x Yorkshire/Landrace x Duroc animals, where we have previously found a highly significant QTL for IMF (Grindflek et al. 2001: "Detection of quantitative trait loci for meat quality in a commercial slaughter pig cross", Mammalian Genome 12(4): 299-304), and by microarray analysis we hoped to identify candidate genes for the QTL and/or pathways that are affected by the genes responsible for the QTL. Keywords: phenotype comparison Direct dye-swap design, with 14 animals in each group (high IMF and low IMF) on 14 separate arrays

Project description:Intramuscular fat (IMF) storage is a biological process with strong impact on nutritional and technological properties of meat, and also with relevant consequences on human health. The genetic architecture of IMF content and composition phenotypes has been thoroughly studied in pigs through the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) and the estimation of genetic parameters. A question that has not been elucidated yet is if the genetic determinants of IMF-related phenotypes are muscle specific or, conversely, they have broad effects on the whole skeletal muscle compartment. We have addressed this question by generating lipid QTL maps for two muscles with a high commercial value, gluteus medius (GM) and longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), in a Duroc commercial population (N=350). As a complementary approach, we have analysed the mRNA expression pattern of both muscles at a whole genome scale. The lack of concordance between the GM and LTL QTL maps evidenced that the effects of polymorphisms influencing IMF, cholesterol and fatty acids contents are modulated to some extent by complex spatial factors related with muscle location, metabolism and function. This interpretation was supported by our finding that genes influencing cell differentiation, muscle development and function and lipid metabolism are differentially expressed between muscles. These results have important implications on the implementation of genomic selection schemes aimed to improve the lipid profile of swine meat. Moreover, they confirm pigs as a valuable model to dissect the genetic basis of muscle lipid phenotypes of clinical interest in human. Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle tissue from 10 high and 9 low fattening Duroc pigs were compared in this study.

Project description:Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is the determining factor for meat taste. To reveal the genetic basis of IMF content, genetic studies have made some progress in lean-type pig breeds, but fewer studies have been conducted in Chinese fat-type pigs. The Luchuan pig is a fat-type local breed in southern China that is famous for its desirable meat quality. In the present study, we measured the IMF content for 265 crossed pigs of Duroc x Luchuan pigs, from which individuals with extremely high (6.03% ± 0.58%, n = 12) and low (1.67% ± 0.42%, n = 12) IMF contents were selected to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to IMF content in the longissimus dorsi. RNA sequencing for 24 samples in total identified 312 differentially expressed transcripts that were significantly enriched in triglyceride biosynthesis- and metabolism-related processes (p-value ≤ 0.05 and fold change ≥ 1.5). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the PPAR signaling pathway was the most significantly enriched pathway (p-value = 0.024, represented by ADIPOQ, FABP3, FABP4, LPL, PLIN4 and SCD). When a more stringent condition was applied (gene-based q-value ≤ 0.2 and fold change ≥ 1.5), only 17 transcripts remained to be differentially expressed, including LEP, ATP6V1F, SDR16C5, TUSC5, MPZ, PRX, PTPN4, BEX1, MVB12B, ZFP62, P4HA2, IDH2, THOC7, KRT14, FCGRT, MYPN and LPL. Among these DEGs, TUSC5 was significantly upregulated in the group of high IMF contents (log2FC = 1.114, p-value = 3.02E-5) and was suspected as a strong new candidate gene affecting porcine IMF content since it was the target gene of PPAR-gamma. The present study provided new data and candidate genes for the genetic study of porcine IMF content.
