猪整合素β1基因CRS-PCR多态性与产仔数的关联性分析

文章采用CRS-RFLP技术对长白猪、大白猪和杜洛克猪3个品种的整合素β1基因第5外显子T32207C位点及第7外显子A35230G位点进行单核苷酸多态性分析,并将基因多态性与猪的产仔数进行关联分析。结果表明:32207多态位点的基因型效应对3个品种的总产仔数(TNB)和产活仔数(NBA)影响均不显著;35230多态位点的基因型效应对大白猪和长白猪头胎、二胎及所有胎次的TNB和NBA的影响达到显著(P<0.05)或者极显著水平(P<0.01),基因型GG、AG与AA对产仔数的影响存在差异,其效应为GG,AG>AA。可见整合素β1基因35230位点的G等位基因对大白猪和长白猪的产仔数性状有显著影响。     

不同猪种E.coli F18受体基因的多态性

采用PCR—RFLP技术检测了大约克、长白、杜洛克、宁乡、沙子岭和大围子6个品种共867头猪的E.coli F18受体(ECF18R)基因座的遗传变异。结果表明：Hin6 Ⅰ-RFLP位点上,大约克、长白、杜洛克3个外来猪种均存在多态,且以敏感型(GG型和AG型)居多,平均占94％,3个外来猪种的G等位基因频率平均为0．76,AA抗性型个体占少数,平均为6％,猪群中M307处G→A的突变频率并不高。宁乡、沙子岭和大围子3个本地猪种的所有检测样品都表现为GG型,在该位点上均不存在G→A的突变。各猪种ECF18受体基因座的PCR—RFLP基因型分布X^2检验结果表明,每个外来猪种ECF18受体基因座的PCR—RFLP基因型分布与3个本地猪种的相比均差异显著或极显著,3个本地猪种间的ECF18受体基因座的PCR—RFLP基因型分布完全一致。外来猪种间只有长白与杜洛克各基因型的分布差异显著,其余均不显著。

以黑素皮质激素受体1基因作为影响猪毛色性状的候选基因, 应用PCR-SSCP(单链构象多态)法对11个中国地方猪种该基因的编码区进行单核苷酸多态性检测. 作为比较, 还研究了3个引入猪种. 结果发现11个品种的所有个体都存在3个突变: G284A, T309C和T364C, 与以往报道中欧洲大黑猪发生的突变相同, 推测中国地方猪种的毛色属于显性黑毛色性状. 而3个引入猪种发生的突变为68CC, C492T, G728A, 与地方猪种有明显区别, 二者分属截然不同的毛色遗传体系. 黑素皮质激素受体1基因对于中国地方猪种之间毛色的差异没有起到关键的影响作用, 但是它可为猪的分子进化研究提供一定的凭据.

Effects of FUT1 gene mutation on resistance to infectious disease

Alpha-(1,2)-fucosyltransferase (FUT1) gene has been identified as a candidate gene for regulating the expression of Escherichia coli F18 receptor gene (ECF18R) which promotes adherence of Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) and Verotoxigenic (VTEC) Escherichia coli (E. coli) via F18 fimbriae. In order to illustrate the polymorphisms of FUT1 and their effects on resistance to natural infection by Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Symdrome Virus (PRRSV) and Haemophilus parasuis, the distributions of different genotypes and the relative risks of disease incidence in pigs were investigated. A total of 1,041 pigs representing three European breeds (Duroc, Landrace and LargeWhite), five Chinese local breeds (Wild pig, Small MeiShan, QinPing, JinHua, and JianLi) and three commercial populations (LargeWhite?×?JianLi, Duroc?×?Landrace?×?LargeWhite and Duroc?×?wild pig) were selected to analyze the genotype of the FUT1 gene by PCR-RFLP. Only the GG genotype associated with susceptibility to ECF18 bacteria was detected in Chinese local pig breeds and a population of LargeWhite?×?JianLi, while the AA genotype which confers resistance to ECF18 was detected in two European breeds (Duroc and LargeWhite), two populations of Duroc?×?wild pig and Duroc?×?Landrace?×?LargeWhite. Regarding relative risk of incidence, Duroc?×?Landrace?×?LargeWhite with genotypes GG or AG showed greater relative risk (OR?=?2.040, P?=?0.025; OR?=?1.750, P?=?0.081, respectively) than those with genotype AA during natural infection by both PRRSV and Haemophilus parasuis. It can be concluded that the mutation of FUT1 gene might play a role in pig infection by multi-pathogens, and that AA may be a favourable genotype for increasing the resistance to disease.

The effect of a c.-8G>T polymorphism on the expression of cytochrome b5A and boar taint in pigs

The level of cytochrome b5A ( CYB5A ) in pig testis is correlated with boar taint from androstenone and an AF016388:c.-8G>T polymorphism in CYB5A has been linked with low androstenone levels in the fat of pigs. In this study, we developed a polymerase chain reaction-based assay to genotype 1242 boars from eight lines for the c.-8G>T SNP. The c.-8T allele was found in all eight lines at a frequency ranging from 1.8% to 20.3% with an overall frequency of 8.6%. Significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were found in the Hampshire, Landrace and Yorkshire breeds. The homozygous mutant c.-8TT occurred infrequently and was not found in some lines, but was consistently associated with low androstenone levels in fat. Both CYB5A mRNA and CYB5A protein levels were decreased in the c.-8TT genotype in a subset of Yorkshire boars, suggesting that low levels of CYB5A protein in the c.-8TT mutant were not due to inefficient translation of CYB5A mRNA. There were significant but modest marker effects on fat androstenone levels in Landrace, Yorkshire and a Large White/Duroc cross and fat skatole in Duroc and Sire Line breeds. There was no effect of CYB5A genotype on bulbourethral gland length, suggesting that this SNP will not affect reproductive traits. We conclude that the c.-8G>T SNP in the CYB5A gene has a significant but modest effect on boar taint in male pigs and could be useful in some breeds as part of a panel of SNP markers in a marker-assisted selection programme to produce low boar taint pigs.     

Characterization of porcine leptin receptor polymorphisms and their association with reproduction and production traits

Fatness in pigs is of prime economic importance due to market incentives for production of lean pork and elevated fatness increasing the feed costs. Leptin (LEP) action, mediated through its specific receptors (LEPR), was reported to be involved in the regulation of fatness via feed intake, energy expenditure, and whole-body energy balance in pigs. In this study, we have designed 17 primer sets based on the human and mouse LEPR sequences and successfully amplified coding regions of 15 porcine LEPR exon fragments by polymerase chain reactions (PCR). Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of Intron 2, Exons 2, 6, and 18 were found in Landrace, Yorkshire, and Duroc by mutagenetically separated-PCR (MS-PCR) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP). Chi-square statistics was used to calculate homogeneity of genotypic frequencies of 4 gene polymorphisms for three breeds of animals. Effects of Intron 2, Exon 2, and Exon 18 polymorphisms on the reproduction trait such as litter sizes of sows were evident (p < 0.05) in Duroc and Yorkshire. There was no (p > 0.05) significant influence on the production trait of average daily gain due to four candidate gene polymorphisms in three porcine breeds. However, effects of Exon 6 and 18 polymorphisms on the production trait of backfat thickness were significant (p < 0.05) in Landrace and Yorkshire, respectively. Effects of Exon 18 polymorphisms on feed efficiency were also evident (p < 0.05) in Duroc.     

Genetic variability at the pig SLA complex in U.S. breeds of pigs1

Lymphocytes from 90 mature pigs and 548 growing pigs from 6.5 litters were screened with cytotoxic antibodies against swine lymphocyte antigens. Pigs included in the survey were from the Chester White, Duroc, Hampshire, Landrace and Yorkshire breeds. Significant differences between breeds were found in the frequency of the three haplotypes tested. Such differences may provide the genetic variability needed to determine associations between disease susceptibility and the pig's major histocompatibility gene complex.
