Let-7b regulates skeletal muscle growth, development and fat deposition in deletion-type dwarf chickens (7-week-old chickens)

ABSTRACT: A deletion mutation in the growth hormone receptor (GHR) gene results in the inhibition of skeletal muscle growth and fat deposition in dwarf chickens. In this study, microarray techniques were used to detect the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of 14-day-old embryo and 7-week-old chicken skeletal muscle of deletion-type dwarf chickens and normal-type chickens. Skeletal muscle tissues of Dwarf recessive White Rock chickens and normal recessive White Rock chickens were used to make the microarray assay. Results show the expression of miR-1623 and miR-181b in 14-day-old embryos and of let-7b and miR-128 in 7-week-old chickens. let-7b was the only miRNA found to be completely complementary to its target in the 3'UTR of GHR and inhibited GHR gene expression. KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis and RT-PCR verified that there were three main signalling pathways regulating the skeletal muscle growth and fat deposition of chickens influenced by the let-7b-regulated GHR gene. The suppression of the cytokine signalling 3 (SOCS3) gene was found to be involved in the signalling pathway of adipocytokines. We found that let-7b is the critical miRNA involved in the regulation of the GHR gene. SOCS3 plays a critical role in the network regulating skeletal muscle growth and fat deposition via let-7b-mediated GHR gene expression.

SOCS3 plays a critical role in the network regulating skeletal muscle growth and fat deposition via let-7b-mediated GHR gene expression. Two groups were analyzed in the array assay: one group consisted of normal recessive White Rock 14-day-old embryo leg muscle tissues, and the other group consisted of dwarf recessive White Rock 14-day-old embryo leg muscle tissues. The control samples were labeled as A1, A2, A3, and the dwarf chicken samples were labeled as B1, B2, and B3. 9 total embryos per breed, 3 embryos used per breed for each sample. 523 mature miRNA sequences were assembled and integrated into the LC miRNA microarray design, and different expression miRNAs were measured on the 7000HT Fast Real-Time PCR system. This submission represents the miRNA profiling component of the study.

Project description:As an essential micronutrient for animals, vitamin E plays crucial physiological roles in reproduction, antioxidant and immune functions, and lipid metabolism. The objective of this study was to reveal molecular mechanism of vitamin E on intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition through transcriptome sequencing of pectoral muscle in broiler chickens. A total of 240 one-day-old health female chicks were randomly allocated into five dietary treatments with each treatment six replicates. The birds were fed basal diet supplemented with 0 and 100 IU/kg vitamin E in the form of DL-α-tocopheryl acetate, respectively. The body weight, carcass performance and IMF content were measured. Transcriptome profile of pectoral muscle in 35-day-old chickens were sequencing from the control and 100 IU/kg vitamin E treatment. Functional enrichment analyzes of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on Gene ontology (GO), KEGG pathway and bio function, and network were performed. Results shown that IMF content of broiler chickens were significantly increased at 12.89% (P < 0.05) between 100 IU/kg vitamin E treatment and control. Transcriptome sequencing results for pectoralis major muscle of 100 IU vitamin E-supplemented and the control groups identified 57 up-regulated and 102 down-regulated DEGs. These DEGs were significantly enriched (FDR corrected P-value < 0.05) in 13 of 236 GO terms involved in muscle development- and lipid metabolism. Pathway functional enrichment analysis revealed that the DEGs were significantly enriched in three signalling pathways (FDR corrected P-value < 0.05). Two of them, MAPK signaling pathway and FoxO signaling pathway, play key roles in muscular and lipid metabolism. It is worth mentioning that 46 DEGs were significantly enriched in 28 skeletal and muscular system development and function categories and 31 DEGs were significantly enriched in 17 lipid metabolism function categories. Moreover, three lipid metabolism and muscular development-related networks of DEGs were also identified. These DEGEs, pathways, function categories and networks identified in this study provide us new insights for the vitamin E regulation of the IMF deposition in broiler chickens.
