The methylation status of pivotal genes involved in fat deposition in chickens has been extensively studied. However, the whole-genome DNA methylation profiles of broiler abdominal adipose tissue remain poorly understood. Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, we generated DNA methylation profiles of chicken abdominal adipose tissue from Northeast Agricultural University broiler lines divergently selected for abdominal fat content. We aimed to explore whether DNA methylation was associated with abdominal fat deposition in broilers. The whole-genome DNA methylation profiles of fat- and lean-line broilers abdominal adipose tissue were constructed. The DNA methylation levels of functional genomic regions in the fat broiler were higher than those in the lean broiler, especially in the 3′ untranslated regions (UTRs) and exons in the non-CG contexts. Additionally, we identified 29,631 differentially methylated regions and, subsequently, annotated 6,484 and 2,016 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in the gene body and promoter regions between the two lines, respectively. Functional annotation showed that the DMGs in promoter regions were significantly enriched mainly in the triglyceride catabolic process, lipid metabolism-related pathways, and extracellular matrix signal pathways. When the DMG in promoter regions and differentially expressed genes were integrated, we identified 30 genes with DNA methylation levels that negatively correlated with their messenger RNA (mRNA) expression, of which CMSS1 reached significant levels (false discovery rate < 0.05). These 30 genes were mainly involved in fatty acid metabolism, peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor signaling, Wnt signaling pathways, transmembrane transport, RNA degradation, and glycosaminoglycan degradation. Comparing the DNA methylation profiles between fat- and lean-line broilers demonstrated that DNA methylation is involved in regulating broiler abdominal fat deposition. Our study offers a basis for further exploring the underlying mechanisms of abdominal adipose deposition in broilers.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

1. Lipid metabolism is an indispensable process in an organism, though little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of fat deposition in different types of adipose tissues.

2. The differentially expressed genes related to triglyceride (TG) metabolism between abdominal and intramuscular fat (IMF) of Beijing-You chickens were investigated in this study.

3. TG content in abdominal fat (AF) (349.7 mg/g) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in the breast and thigh (12.3 mg/g and 24.8 mg/g, respectively).

4. Using Agilent chicken gene-expression profiling in adipose tissues between AF and muscle (breast and thigh), certain representative genes related to fatty acid metabolism, lipoprotein catabolism and esterification reactions were significantly upregulated (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

5. Genes involved in fatty acid oxidation or carbohydrate utilisation were significantly up- or downregulated (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), including those involved with highly enriched pathways of lipid metabolism (PPAR, Wnt pathway and inositol phosphate metabolism), cell junctions (focal adhesion and regulation of actin cytoskeleton) and muscle contraction.

6. Overall, higher TG levels were observed in AF tissue than in adipose tissues of breast and thigh, which could be regulated through gene expression of pathways related to lipid metabolism (PPAR, Wnt pathway and inositol phosphate metabolism), cell junctions (focal adhesion and regulation of actin cytoskeleton) and muscle contraction. These results provide clues to understanding the molecular mechanisms of TG metabolism between abdominal and IMF.  相似文献

骨形态发生蛋白7(Bone morphogenetic proteins7,BMP7)是一类与骨骼发育密切相关的酸性多肽,属于TGF-β超家族,能够诱导血管周围及结缔组织中的间充质细胞向骨细胞方向分化。近期研究结果表明,BMP7在哺乳动物棕色脂肪组织发育过程中发挥重要作用。目前还没有关于鸡BMP7基因表达规律的研究。本研究以东北农业大学高脂系肉鸡为试验材料,采用半定量RT-PCR的方法检测BMP7基因在不同组织中的表达特性,发现BMP7在鸡23种组织中均有表达;采用半定量RT-PCR和Real-time PCR的方法检测BMP7基因在高、低脂系肉鸡脂肪组织间的表达差异,发现BMP7基因在高脂系肉鸡脂肪组织中的表达量显著高于低脂系(P<0.05)。本研究为进一步揭示BMP7基因与鸡脂肪组织发育之间的关系奠定了基础。  相似文献

ABSTRACT

1. Functional microRNA (miRNA) screening for abdominal fat tissue with different dietary vitamin E (VE) levels was performed to reveal miRNAs, genes and metabolic pathways involved in abdominal fat deposition in broilers.

2. A total of 240, one-day-old healthy female chicks were randomly allocated into five dietary treatments containing either 0, 20, 50, 75 or 100 IU DL-α-tocopherol acetate. The sequencing of miRNAs from abdominal fat tissues was performed. The target genes of miRNAs were predicted and enrichment analysis for these genes was performed. Diets supplemented with 50 IU VE significantly diminished abdominal fat deposition in broilers at day 35 of age.

3. A total of 29 miRNAs were differentially expressed between control and 50 IU VE treatment. Ten of the 23 target genes were enriched in four signalling pathways: tight junction, SNARE interactions in vesicular transport, regulation of autophagy and proteasome.

4. This study identified miRNA, target genes and pathways in dietary VE treatment for broilers, providing new insights into the miRNA regulation of abdominal fat deposition in broilers.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

1. Adipose differentiation related protein (ADFP), fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1) and apolipoprotein B (APOB) are suspected to play an important role in determining intramuscular fat and in overall meat quality.

2. Yunnan’s top six famous chicken breeds (the Daweishan Mini, Yanjin Black-bone, Chahua, Wuding, Wuliangshan Black-bone and Piao chicken) are known for the high quality of their meat, but little is known about their expression of these three genes.

3. The present study aimed to examine the ADFP, FATP1 and APOB genes in different tissues of these six breeds at different development stages. The subcutaneous fat from the back midline and front, abdominal fat, liver and muscle tissue was sampled at 28, 49, 70, 91 and 112 days. The expression of ADFP, FATP1 and APOB was measured by real-time PCR.

4. The results showed that the expression of the three genes differed depending on age, tissue types and breeds. However, the expression of the three genes correlated with fat traits. In conclusion, the expression of the ADFP, FATP1 and APOB genes is associated with the fat traits of Yunnan’s top six chicken breeds. These results could help with molecular marker screening and marker-assisted breeding to improve the quality of poultry for meat production.  相似文献

Antibiotics stimulate the growth of animals but result in drug residues and bacterial resistance. In this study, the negative effect of antibiotics on abdominal fat deposition was evaluated in broilers. The results showed that adding both chlortetracycline (50 g/1,000 kg) and tylosin (50 g/1,000 kg) significantly increased abdominal fat weight, abdominal fat percentage (p < .05), and triglyceride and cholesterol levels (p < .05) in blood. Also, both products synchronously stimulated intestinal absorption and synthesis of liver fat. The expression levels of the peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ), diacylgycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), and fatty acid‐binding protein (FABP4) genes in abdominal fat tissue significantly increased (p < .05 or 0.01) when antibiotics were added to the feed. However, no significant difference was found in expression of the fatty acid synthesis (FAS) or acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) genes. Further in vitro study results revealed that antibiotics had no effect on fat content or the related gene expression levels in preadipocytes. In summary, the antibiotics induced fat deposition in adipose tissues by activating extracellular absorption of fatty acids from intestinal absorption and synthesis of liver fat. However, it shows no direct regulation by adipose tissue.  相似文献

The content and distribution of body lipids are of special interest for production efficiency and meat quality in the farm animal industry. Triglycerides represent the most variable fraction of tissue lipids, and are mainly stored in adipocytes. Although several studies have reported regional differences in the expression of genes and their products in adipocytes from various species, the characteristics of i.m. adipocytes remain poorly described. To evaluate adipocyte features according to muscle and other fat locations, adipocyte proteins were isolated from trapezius skeletal muscle, and intermuscular, s.c., or perirenal adipose tissues from 6 female pigs (80 d of age). Protein extracts were labeled and analyzed by 2-dimensional, fluorescent, differential gel electrophoresis. The comparisons revealed that 149 spots were always differentially expressed (P < 0.05, ratio exceeding |2|-fold difference) between i.m. adipocytes and the fat cells derived from the 3 other adipose locations. The proteins that were downregulated in i.m. fat cells belonged to various metabolic pathways, such as lipogenesis (cytosolic malate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase, P < 0.01), glycolysis (enolases and aldolase, P 相似文献

The hypothalamus is a critical center for regulating heat retention or dissipation. This study investigated global protein changes in the hypothalamus of broiler‐type Taiwan country chickens (TCCs) after acute heat stress. Twelve TCC hens aged 30 weeks were allocated to groups subjected to acute heat stress at 38°C for 2 hr without recovery, with 2 hr of recovery, and with 6 hr of recovery; a control group was maintained at 25°C. Hypothalami were collected for protein expression analysis at the end of each time point. The results showed 114 protein spots differentially expressed after acute heat stress. Most of the differentially expressed proteins were involved in cellular processes, metabolism, transport, and cellular component organization. Functional annotation analysis suggested that these proteins were related to cellular defensive responses against heat and oxidative stress, detoxification and toxin export/delivery, cytoskeleton integrity, oxygen transport, and neural development. The results of this study suggest that acute heat stress damages the hypothalamus of broiler‐type TCCs through oxidative stress and provokes a series of responses to stabilize protein structures, degrade misfolded proteins, and remodel cytoskeletons for attenuating the detrimental effects by acute heat stress.  相似文献

Adiponectin is a protein hormone secreted exclusively by adipocytes that plays an important role in the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. To investigate the effect of adiponectin on lipid metabolism in chicken, rosiglitazone (agonist of adiponectin) and dexamethasone (inhibitor of adiponectin) were used to treat 23‐day‐old broilers in vivo. To verify the functionality of adiponectin on fat deposition, chicken pre‐adipocytes were cultured in the medium containing 10 μg/ml adiponectin. Serum adiponectin and lipids and fat distribution were analysed. Oil Red O staining was used to determine lipid deposition in adipocytes. The expression levels of adiponectin, adiponectin receptors (AdipoR) and lipid metabolism–related genes in different tissues and pre‐adipocytes were measured using real‐time PCR, and the abundance of lipid metabolism–related proteins was measured by Western blot. Rosiglitazone increased serum adiponectin concentration and the expression levels of adiponectin and adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) in tissues and significantly decreased levels of serum lipids and fat deposition. Rosiglitazone significantly increased the expression levels of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and AdipoR1 and decreased the expression levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS). Dexamethasone had the converse effects compared with rosiglitazone. Oil red O staining results showed a marked decrease in fat deposition in cells treated with adiponectin. In adipocytes, adiponectin could decrease the expression levels of CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein α (C/EBPα) and FAS and increased the expression levels of ATGL and AdipoR1. These results indicate that adiponectin has a remarkable effect on impairment of adipocyte differentiation, which contributes to the negative regulation of fat deposition in chicken.  相似文献

旨在探索多浪羊(D组)与小尾寒羊(X组)皮下脂肪组织中的特异性表达基因,并研究其潜在的作用,为理解绵羊脂肪组织发育规律以及对脂代谢相关疾病的预防和治疗研究提供依据。本研究选取脂肪沉积能力存在差异、健康无病、体况良好、种内个体体重相近(约50 kg)的雌性成年多浪羊和小尾寒羊为试验材料,分为D组(试验组)和X组(对照组),每组3个重复,采集位于背最长肌的皮下脂肪组织,应用RNA-Seq技术和生物信息学方法进行转录组测序并对结果进行分析。以|Fold change|≥2,P adjust≤0.05为标准筛选差异表达基因,通过对差异表达基因进行GO功能注释和KEGG通路富集分析,得到与脂肪沉积和脂代谢有关的差异基因。为了验证测序数据的可靠性,本研究随机选取了6个差异表达基因进行qRT-PCR验证。结果显示,在6个样本中共检测到38 672个已知的mRNAs,新的mRNAs为1 606个,在两组中共有839个差异表达基因,其中有320个差异基因在多浪羊组中上调表达,有519个差异基因在多浪羊组中下调表达。通过GO功能注释分析发现,差异表达基因主要参与脂质分解代谢过程、脂质生物合成过程、脂质分解代谢负调控过程、MAPK级联反应调控、对甘油三酯的反应等生物学过程。KEGG通路富集结果显示,差异表达基因显著富集到了PI3K-Akt、MAPK、胰岛素以及PPAR等信号通路中。qRT-PCR结果与测序结果一致,表明测序结果可靠。通过对多浪羊和小尾寒羊皮下脂肪组织进行转录组测序以及生物信息学分析,筛选到与脂肪沉积和脂代谢相关的差异表达基因,这些基因主要参与脂质生物合成、脂质代谢等过程,其中COL1A1、AKT2、SCDLPLPCK1与PPP2R5A可能在多浪羊与小尾寒羊的皮下脂肪组织的沉积与代谢中发挥重要作用。  相似文献

为探讨心脏型脂肪酸结合蛋白(heart-type fatty acid-binding protein,H-FABP)和脂肪型脂肪酸结合蛋白(adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein,A-FABP)基因与巨型玫瑰冠鸡生长发育及肌内脂肪含量(IMF)的关系,研究H-FABP、A-FABP基因对巨型玫瑰冠鸡IMF含量和腹脂沉积的作用机制,本试验采集了巨型玫瑰冠鸡与良凤花鸡在不同周龄(2、4、6、8、10、12周龄)的腹脂、心肌、胸肌、腿肌组织样品共480份,采用实时荧光定量PCR对巨型玫瑰冠鸡与良凤花鸡不同生长阶段组织中H-FABP、A-FABP基因mRNA表达量进行了检测,并采用索氏浸提法测定了两种鸡12周龄的胸肌与腿肌的IMF含量。结果表明,巨型玫瑰冠鸡与良凤花鸡的H-FABP、A-FABP基因mRNA在腹脂、心肌、胸肌和腿肌组织中均有不同程度的表达,且两种鸡H-FABP基因mRNA在心肌组织中高度表达,在脂肪组织中表达量较低,在胸肌、腿肌组织中中度表达,而A-FABP基因相反,推测H-FABP基因主要在肌肉组织中表达,而A-FABP基因主要在脂肪组织中表达。良凤花鸡生长速度高于巨型玫瑰冠鸡;巨型玫瑰冠鸡的腹脂率均低于同性别的良凤花鸡,但胸肌、腿肌的IMF均高于同性别的良凤花鸡,表明巨型玫瑰冠鸡的肉品质优于良凤花鸡。本试验结果为巨型玫瑰冠鸡H-FABP、A-FABP基因分子选育奠定了基础。  相似文献

Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), a newly identified lipase, is a rate-limiting enzyme for triglyceride hydrolysis in adipocytes. The regulatory proteins involved in ATGL-mediated lipolysis in fat tissue are not fully identified and understood. The G(0)/G(1) switch gene 2 (G0S2) is an inhibitor of ATGL activity by interacting with ATGL through the hydrophobic domain of G0S2. Here, for the first time, we have cloned the coding sequence of G0S2 cDNA for the chicken, turkey, and quail. Sequence comparisons with mammals revealed that the avian G0S2 also have a conserved hydrophobic domain. Avian G0S2 is predominantly expressed in adipose tissues relative to other tested tissues. Within the adipose tissue, G0S2 is expressed 20-fold greater in the adipocyte than in the stromal-vascular (SV) fraction (P < 0.001). Expression of G0S2 mRNA gradually increased during differentiation of chicken adipocytes in culture (P < 0.05). However, there is G0S2 expression in embryonic adipose tissue, SV fraction, and primary preadipocytes before confluence that generally have an increased capacity of cell proliferation, which indicates it has an important role in adipocyte differentiation rather than proliferation. For a better understanding of how G0S2 responds to environmental stimuli, chickens were fasted for 24 h and then refed. Expression of G0S2 in adipose tissue was dramatically decreased (P < 0.05) in the chickens and quail after a 24-h fasting period, and increased to the control level after refeeding. In contrast to G0S2 expression, ATGL expression was induced (P < 0.05) after the 24-h fasting period and rapidly returned to the control level during the refeeding period. These data indicate that changes in lipolytic activities of adipose tissue in vivo can be regulated by G0S2 expression, as an inhibitor of ATGL.  相似文献
