Project description:Improper use of antibiotics in swine could reduce commensal bacteria and possibly increase pathogen infections via the gut resistome. This study aimed to compare the metaproteomic profiles of gut resistome and related metabolism in the cecal microbiota of fattening pigs raised under antibiotic-free (ABF) conditions with those of ordinary industrial pigs (CTRL).

Project description:Background The composition of intramuscular fat depends on genetic and environmental factors, including the diet. In pigs, we identified a haplotype of three SNP mutations in the steaoryl-coA desaturase (SCD) gene promoter associated with higher content of monounsaturated fatty acids in intramuscular fat. The second of these three SNPs (rs80912566, C>T) affected a putative retinol response element in the SCD promoter. The effect of dietary vitamin A restriction over intramuscular fat content is controversial in pigs as it seems to depend on the genetic line and the duration of the restriction. This study aims to investigate changes in the muscle transcriptome in SCD rs80912566_TT and CC pigs fed with and without vitamin A supplement during the fattening period. Results Vitamin A did not affect carcass fattening traits and fatty acid composition in muscle, but we observed an interaction between vitamin A and SCD genotype on the desaturation of muscle fatty acids. The diet without vitamin A supplement tended to enlarge the compositional differences between genotypes. The interaction between diet and genotype was also evident at the transcriptome level, the highest number of differentially expressed genes were detected between SCD rs80912566_TT pigs fed with the two diets. Conclusions Restricting dietary vitamin A during the fattening period did not improve intramuscular fat content despite relevant changes in muscle gene expression, both in coding and non-coding genes. Despite this, there was a significant interaction between the SCD genotype and the dietary vitamin A, which affected the quality of the meat through a change in the saturation index of intramuscular fat and activated general pathways of retinol response in a SCD genotype-dependant manner.

Project description:In Poland, conducted for years porcine breeding works focused on improving meat content in the carcass without undertaken to accomplish the more effectiveness of fattening indicators that impact on feed efficiency. At present, feeding and feed conversion became important factors that are especially evident in the countries where the production of fattening pigs is conducted in large farms. In the present study, was attempted to indicate pituitary candidate genes depending on feed conversion ratio (FCR) in native Polish pig breed, Złotnicka White. The whole pituitary transcriptome was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology. The obtained results show the differences in gene expression for pathways associated with hormonal regulation and also with Notch and Wnt signaling. Moreover, it was observed that worse FCR in Złotnicka pigs was associated with a higher fat level in a carcass and a significant higher level of prolactin expression in the pituitary.

Project description:The use of anabolic steroid hormones as growth promoters in farm animals is banned in the European Union. However, among anabolic compounds, testosterone and nandrolone are still illegally administered to fattening pigs in the form of synthetic steroid esters. To tackle steroid misuse alternative approaches based on biological methods, able to investigate perturbations induced by these compounds at level of proteins, transcripts, metabolites is becoming recommendable. The aim of this work was to characterize by RNAseq coding mRNAs perturbations related to illicit administration of testosterone and nandrolone esters in fattening pigs. Twenty-seven clinically healthy 90-day-old pigs were randomly assigned to test (18 animals) and control (9 animals) groups. Nine of the eighteen animals from the test group were treated with an i.m. injections of 4 mg/kg b.w. of Sustanon (250 mg/ml). The other nine animals of the test group undergo i.m. injections of 5 mg/kg b.w. of Myodine (25 mg/ml). The animals were injected on day 4 after the start of the experiment and were euthanized on day 114 of the experiment. Liver samples were collected and stored in RNAlater solution for gene expression studies.

Project description:Skatole is one of the compounds causing boar taint in meat of uncastrated male pigs. This study focuses on differences in gene expression of 50 Danish Landrace boars with high and low skatole levels. The animals were divided into 2 groups based on the skatole measurements, with animals having a skatole concentration of less than 0.01 ppm in one group, and above 0.275 ppm in the other group. Gene expression was assessed using porcine oligonucleotide microarrays. We report differential expression of CYP2E1, CYP2A13 and suggests involvement of FMO1, HSD17B13, CBR4 and several transcription factors.

Project description:We performed m6A sequencing to compare N6 transcriptome methylation profiles of the longissimus dorsi muscles (LDMs) between Landrace pigs (a Danish pig breed) and Jinhua (a Chinese pig breed with higher levels of intramuscular fat). The results show m6A is widely spread and highly conserved in pig mRNA. m6A occurs in the conserved sequence motif of GGACU and exhibits a unique topology in pig.Transcriptome-wide m6A profiling revealed that about 20% of transcribed genes were modified by m6A, with the consensus sequence GGACU appearing highly in m6A-modified genes. Functional enrichment analysis showed that genes differentially methylated in LDMs of the two porcine breeds were related to gene regulation and muscle development and differentiation,suggesting that the m6A modification is tissue-specific and influences mRNA stability or translation.

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.
