Project description:The transcriptome of bovine Longissimus thoracis muscles from 15- and 19-month-old Charolais young bulls were analyzed in order to identify genes whose expression level was associated to beef quality scores, in particular to tenderness, juiciness and flavor, and to muscle growth potential. The expression of over 5000 genes was compared between high and low meat quality samples according to the three sensory traits, taken individually, and between animals with either a high or a low muscle growth potential. Keywords: meat sensory quality, growth potential Twenty-five samples were analyzed. Each sample was hybridized on 4 independent microarrays and compared to a reference pool.

Project description:Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is highly valued as it improves meat product quality by enhancing taste, juiciness, and tenderness. IMF content can be significantly different between breeds. Thought many lipid metabolism-related genes are stated to be associated with IMF deposition, the molecular mechanism of IMF deposition is still poorly understood. To date, no gene or mutation loci responsible for the difference of IMF content among cattle breeds has been identified. To identify transcripts with potential regulatory role in lipid accumulated in muscle tissue, RNA sequencing was performed to compare the mRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs expression patterns in the longissimus dorsi muscle and back fat between Chinese buffalo and cattle. Results: A total of 12 cDNA libraries were constructed. A total of 925,441,106 and 512,507,068 raw reads were obtained from buffalo and cattle, respectively. After filtering the adaptor and low quality reads, 909,040,352 and 491,967,820 clean reads were retained. In total, 19,917 mRNAs, 43,975 lncRNAs, and 10,701 circRNAs were identified in buffalo and 19,383 mRNAs, 8,265 lncRNAs, and 18,535 circRNAs were identified in cattle.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to determine effects of castration on gene expression in longissimus dorsi muscle by comparing transcriptome profiles and to search candidate genes related with beef quality like flavor, tenderness, juiciness and fat deposition Methods: longissimus dorsi muscle mRNA profiles of 3 bulls and 3 steers of Korean cattles were generated by RNA sequencing using Illumina NextSeq 500. After quality checking, Tophat2 software was used for read mapping, and EdgeR was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between bulls and steers. Gene ontology pathway analysis on DEGs was conducted with DAVID tool for categorization of DEGs. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 58 million sequence reads per sample to the bovine genome (build UMD3.1) and identified 18,027 expressed genes in the longissimus dorsi muscle of bulls and steers with TopHat2 workflow. RNA-seq data confirmed 1,146 differentially expressed genes (adjusted p-value, FDR <0.05). Conclusions: We comparatively analyzed the transcriptome profile from longissimus dorsi muscle of bulls and steers of Korean cattles using NGS and identified DEGs between bulls and steers. The functional annotation analysis of DEGs found that transcriptome profile difference in longissimus dorsi muscle by castration.

Project description:To identify transcriptional markers for beef traits related to meat tenderness and moisture, we measured the transcriptome of the Longissimus dorsi skeletal muscle in 10 Korean native cattle (KNC). We analyzed the correlation between the beef transcriptome and measurements of four different beef traits, shear force (SF), water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), and loin eye area (LEA). We obtained non-overlapping and unique panels of genes showing strong correlations (|r| > 0.8) with SF, WHC, CL, and LEA, respectively. Functional studies of these genes indicated that SF was mainly related to energy metabolism, and LEA to rRNA processing. Interestingly, our data suggested that WHC is influenced by protein metabolism. Overall, the skeletal muscle transcriptome pointed to the importance of energy and protein metabolism in determining meat quality after the aging process. The panels of transcripts for beef traits may be useful for predicting meat tenderness and moisture. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles were correlated with beef traits measured at the same cattle.

Project description:Intramuscular fat content is a known trait that attributes to meat quality, taste and juiciness. MicroRNAs have been reported to play key role in lipid metabolism, hence in fat deposition. There is little understanding of miRNA regulation of IMF content and identification of these non-coding factors is important for further understanding of pathways involved in intramuscular fat deposition Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified and their gene targets predicted.

Project description:Carnosine is a bioactive food component with several potential health benefits for humans due to its physiological functions. Dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine can increase the carnosine content of skeletal muscles in chickens. Dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine has produced a slow-growing chicken variety with high carnosine content in the breast meat; however, the supplementation with L-histidine alone softens the meat toughness, which may affect consumers’ willingness to buy the meat. Gene expression is a key factor that influences meat quality. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that affect carnosine content and meat toughness would allow the production of more value-added slow-growing chickens. We compared global gene expression in chicken breast muscles with differing carnosine contents and meat toughness produced through dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine. We identified differentially expressed genes involved in regulating myosin, collagen, intramuscular fat, and calpain—factors that may affect meat tenderness. Pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the insulin-related and adipocytokine signaling pathways were altered by dietary supplementation with β-alanine or L-histidine. These data will be useful for future studies on carnosine content and meat toughness in slow-growing chickens.

Project description:Improvement of feed efficiency would increase profitability of the poultry industries by decreasing the amount of feed required for production. Korat (KR) chicken is a new alternative meat-type chicken breed which its meat is recognized for its high protein, low fat and low purine content, whereas its low feed efficiency leads to high cost of production. Deeper understanding on how feed efficiency influences meat quality is poorly elucidated. To fulfill deeper understand molecular key that point the variation in feed efficiency and meat quality, the aim of this study was to investigate molecular pathways and genes involved in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh of slow-growing KR chicken. A total of 75 males KR chicken were reared in individual cage until 10 weeks of age. Individual feed intake and body weight were collected weekly to calculate Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) and Residual Feed Intake (RFI). Meat quality parameters were measured in thigh muscles such as ultimate pH (pHu), water-holding capacity (WHC), drip loss (DL), nucleotides content and several biomolecules (amide, …). Base on extreme values of FCR at 10 weeks of ages, 12 birds from the high FCR group (HFCR) and 9 birds from the low FCR group (LFCR) were selected for investigating their transcriptome using an 8×60K Agilent chicken microarray. In addition, a weighted gene coexpression network analysis was performed to detect the relationship between modules of co-expressed genes and feed efficiency, meat quality in thigh muscle. The result in this study indicated that selection on feed efficiency (FCR, RFI) would affect flavor precursor, lipid and protein content in thigh muscle. Based on WGCNA and functional enrichment analysis, results suggested that the key molecular pathways relate to FCR, RFI and meat quality (WHC, DL, IMP, AMP and inosine) in thigh muscle were the pathways of regulation of biological process, biological regulation and regulation of metabolic. Moreover, we revealed four genes there are assembly competence domain (ACD) gene, baculoviral IAP repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) gene, cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 3 (COA3) gene and myosin light chain 9 (MYL9) gene that might be biomarker gene in feed efficiency and meat quality in thigh muscle. The hypothesis of the current study was alteration feed efficiency in slow-growing chicken will impact meat quality especially in term of texture and flavor.

Project description:Tenderness is one of the most important meat quality traits and it can be measured through shear force with Warner-Bratzler test. In the current study, we use RNA-seq technique to analyse the transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle in two groups of Iberian pigs (Tough and Tender) divergent for shear force breeding values. We identified 200 annotated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 245 newly predicted isoforms. The RNAseq expression results of 10 genes were validated with qPCR. Functional analyses showed an enrichment of DE genes in biological processes related with proteolysis (CTSC, RHOD, MYH8, ACTC1, GADD45B, CASQ2, CHRNA9 and ANKRD1), skeletal muscle tissue development (ANKRD1, DMD, FOS and MSTN), lipid metabolism (FABP3 and PPARGC1A) and collagen metabolism (COL14A1). The upstream analysis revealed a total of 11 transcription regulatory factors that could regulate the expression of some DEGs. Among them, IGF1, VGLL3 and PPARG can be highlighted since they regulate the expression of genes involved in biological pathways that could affect tenderness. The experiment revealed a set of candidate genes and regulatory factors suggestive to search polymorphisms that could be incorporated in a breeding program for improving meat tenderness.
