Project description:It has been proved that intramuscular fat (IMF) or marbling in beef improves palatability. Recently, consumers have considered not only the degree of marbling but also the size and distribution of marbling flecks for their health and appetizing looking of beef. Computer image analysis (CIA) systems have been developed to assess various characteristics of marbling particles (MPs) such as the number, size, and distribution (fineness or coarseness) objectively. Some CIA indexes about MPs indicating how MPs are distributed evenly had significant positive relationship with price which represents consumers’ interest. RNA-seq research about formation of fine MPs in the longissimus thoracis (LT) muscle tissue of cattle have not yet been tried in transcriptome level. This study was conducted to reveal the DEGs between groups which have high or low number of fine MPs in the Longissimus thoracis muscle of Korean beef cattle and to understand molecular events associated with marbling fineness.

Project description:Transcripome of longissimus dorsi muscle was compared between Korean cattle bulls and steers by using a customized bovine Combimatrix microarray containing 10,199 genes. A customized bovine Combimatrix microarray containing 10,199 genes were constructed, and transcripome of longissimus dorsi muscle was compared between Korean cattle bulls (3 bulls) and steers (3 high-marbled and 3 low-marbled steers) by using the microarray hybridzation.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression. The aim of this study was to identify circulating miRNAs that are involved with meat yield and connect exosomes and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle in Korean cattle steer. Thus, we performed analyses of the carcass characteristics, exosome extraction, bovine miRNA array, mature miRNA qPCR, bioinformatics, and qPCR. Our analysis of the carcass characteristics relative to the yield grade (YG) showed that the yield index (YI) and rib eye area were the highest, whereas the backfat thickness was the lowest for YG A cattle among the three YGs. We performed a miRNA microarray and a Venn diagram analysis to sort the circulating miRNAs that connect exosomes and LD muscle. Mature miRNA qPCR showed that miR-15a (r = 0.84), miR-26b (r = 0.91), and miR-29c (r = 0.92) had positive relationships with exosomes and LD muscle. In YG A cattle, miR-26b was considered to be a circulating miRNA connecting exosomes and LD muscle because the expression pattern of miR-26b was similar in the microarray and miRNA qPCR for miR-26b-targeted genes, where the expression levels of DIAPH3 and YOD1 were lower than those in YG C cattle. Our results suggest that circulating miR-26b may participate in cell maintenance by regulating DIAPH3 and YOD1 in the LD muscle of Korean cattle. 29 or 30 month Korean cattle steers were classified by yield grade(YG) A, B, and C. miRNA expression patterns for exosome and LD muscle were compared among YGs.

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: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:Cattle plays an important role in providing essential nutrients through meat production. Thus, we focused on epigenetic factors associated with meat yield. To investigating circulating miRNAs that are involved with meat yield and connect biofluids and longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle in Korean cattle, we performed analyses of the carcass characteristics, miRNA array, qPCR, and bioinformatics. Carcass characteristics relative to the yield grade (YG) showed that the yield index and rib eye area were the highest, whereas the backfat thickness was the lowest for YG A (equal to high yield grade) cattle among the three YGs. miRNA array sorted the circulating miRNAs that connect biofluids and LD muscle. miRNA qPCR showed that miR-15a (r = 0.84), miR-26b (r = 0.91), and miR-29c (r = 0.92) had positive relationships with biofluids and LD muscle. In YG A cattle, miR-26b was considered to be a circulating miRNA connecting biofluids and LD muscle because the target genes of miR-26b was more involved with myogenesis. Then, miR-26b targeted genes, DIAPH3 and YOD1 were downregulated in YG A cattle. Our results suggest that miR-15a, miR-26b, and miR-29c are upregulated in biofluids and LD muscle whereas, downregulation of DIAPH3 and YOD1 in the LD muscle of finishing cattle steers.

Project description:The purpose of this research was to investigate the causes and consequences of pHu variations in beef cattle. For that, were evaluated 176 Nellore beef cattle, and classified into two different pHu groups: High (≥6.0, N=17) and Normal (<5.8, N=159). Plasma concentrations of cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone, lactate and glycogen muscular content, meat color, shear force and Longissimus thoracis muscle proteomic profile were evaluated and compared between pHu groups. Muscle glycogen content, meat color and shear force statistically differed between pHu groups. Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed ten differentially abundant proteins between pHu groups, involved in metabolic processes and muscle contraction. Thirty-six and 31 proteins were exclusively present in Normal and High pHu group, respectively, which were related to TCA cycle, cortisol production, calcium regulation, and antioxidant function. The MYH7, UGP2, and VDAC3 were identified as potential indicators of pHu variations. CALM and NNT appeared to be interesting proteins to better understand the metabolic pathways behind pHu.

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.
