Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism and can affect homeostasis of fat deposition. The gene encoding
thyroglobulin (TG), producing the precursor for thyroid hormones, has been proposed as a positional and functional candidate
gene for a QTL with an effect on fat deposition. In the present study, we identified 6 novel SNPs at the 3′ flanking region
of the TG gene. The SNP marker association analysis indicated that the T354C, G392A, A430G and T433G SNP markers were significantly
associated with marbling score (P < 0.05). Animals with the new homozygote genotype had higher marbling score than those with the other genotypes. Otherwise,
the linkage disequilibrium analysis indicated that these four SNPs were completely linked (r
2 = 1). Results from this study suggest that TG gene-specific SNP may be a useful marker for meat quality traits in future
marker assisted selection programs in beef cattle. 相似文献

Fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4), which is expressed in adipose tissue, interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors and binds to hormone-sensitive lipase and therefore, plays an important role in lipid metabolism and homeostasis in adipocytes. The objective of this study was to investigate associations of the bovine FABP4 gene with fat deposition. Both cDNA and genomic DNA sequences of the bovine gene were retrieved from the public databases and aligned to determine its genomic organization. Primers targeting two regions of the FABP4 gene were designed: from nucleotides 5433-6106 and from nucleotides 7417-7868 (AAFC01136716). Direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products on two DNA pools from high- and low-marbling animals revealed two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): AAFC01136716.1:g.7516G>C and g.7713G>C. The former SNP, detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism using restriction enzyme MspA1I, was genotyped on 246 F2 animals in a Waygu x Limousin F2 reference population. Statistical analysis showed that the FABP4 genotype significantly affected marbling score (P = 0.0398) and subcutaneous fat depth (P = 0.0246). The FABP4 gene falls into a suggestive/significant quantitative trait loci interval for beef marbling that was previously reported on bovine chromosome 14 in three other populations. 相似文献

Canchim is a composite cattle breed developed in Brazil for beef production. One of the breeding objectives is to increase fat deposition. QTLs for fat thickness and/or marbling have been reported on BTA4 and BTA14. The IGFBP3 and DDEF1 genes, mapped to BTA4 and BTA14, respectively, affect adipogenesis. We looked for SNPs in the IGFBP3 and DDEF1 genes that could be associated with backfat thickness in Canchim beef cattle. For SNP identification, sires with the highest accuracy were ranked according to expected breeding value for fat thickness; the 12 extremes (six sires with the highest and six with the lowest expected breeding value for the trait) were chosen. Six regions of the IGFBP3 and 14 regions of the DDEF1 were sequenced using the Sanger method. Nine SNPs were identified in IGFBP3 and 76 in the DDEF1. After an initial analysis, two SNPs were selected to be genotyped for the whole population; these were DDEF1g.279401A>G and IGFBP3c.4394T>C(Trp>Arg). We found a significant effect (P ≤ 0.05) of allele substitution on backfat thickness; however, the IGFBP3 SNP did not significantly affect this trait. 相似文献

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), involved in the metabolism and transport of lipids, regulate energy balance, fat deposition and growth traits. The objective of this study was to investigate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of LPL gene and to determine their associations between these polymorphisms and growth traits in Xiangxi cattle breed. In this study, six novel SNPs (C355157T, T355169C, T355186G, A355210G, T355348A and T355420C) and one reported SNP (A355427T, has been recorded in dbSNP, ID rs110590698) were detected using polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing method. Genotyping and genetic diversity analysis were performed in 240 Xiangxi cattle on the basis of sequence alignment, which indicated that five SNPs (C355157T, 355186G, T355348A, T355420C, A355427T) were in abundant genetic diversity, and the other two SNPs (T355169C and TA355210G) were in low genetic diversity. Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that 18 different haplotypes were identified in these animals. Moreover, the results of the association between LPL gene polymorphisms and growth traits indicated that the individuals with H1H1 haplotype combination had higher BW and HG than those with other haplotype combinations (P?<?0.05). The animals with CC genotype maintain higher mean values for BW than those with the CT and TT genotypes (P?<?0.05) at T355420C locus. The animals with the AA genotype have lower mean values for WH, BL, HG and BW than those with the AT and TT genotypes at A355427T locus (P?<?0.05). The results suggested that the SNPs of the LPL gene might be useful genetic markers for growth traits in the bovine reproduction and breeding. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to investigate an association between polymorphisms in the FABP4 gene and phenotypic variation for marbling and carcass weight (CWT) in a population of Hanwoo steers. We re‐sequenced 4.3 kb of the FABP4 gene region in 24 Hanwoo bulls and identified 16 SNPs and 1 microsatellite polymorphism. Of these 16 SNPs, three SNPs [g.2774G>C (intron I), g.3473A>T (intron II) and g.3631G>A (exon III, creating a p.Met >Val amino acid substitution)] were genotyped in 583 steers to assess their association with carcass traits. The g.3473A allele showed a significant increasing effect on CWT (P = 0.01) and the g.3631G allele was associated with higher marbling score (P = 0.006). One haplotype of these three SNPs (CAG) was significantly associated with CWT (P = 0.02) and marbling score (P = 0.05) and could potentially be of value for marker assisted selection in Hanwoo cattle. The CAG haplotype effect for CWT was larger (11.14 ± 5.03 kg) than the largest single locus effect of g.3473A>T (5.01 ± 2.2 kg). 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of APOA5 variants on fasting lipids and to the response to both an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The association of two APOA5 SNPs [S19W (SNP5), -1131T>C (SNP3)] and an APOA4/A5 intergenic SNP [-12238T>C (SNP4)] were examined in healthy young men (n=774) who had undergone both an OFTT and an OGTT. Both -1131T>C and S19W rare alleles were associated with triglyceride (TG)-raising effects (11%, P=0.008; 21% (in cases), P<0.026, respectively) and showed additive effects on TG. None of the variants influenced the responsiveness to the OFTT after correcting for baseline TG. Homozygosity for the -12238T>C rare allele was associated with higher waist to hip ratio (P<0.0006), systolic blood pressure (P=0.012) and AUC and peak of insulin after OGTT (P=0.003 and P=0.027, respectively), traits that define the metabolic syndrome. Our results strongly support the role of APOA5 in determining plasma TG levels in an age-independent manner and highlight the importance of the APOC3/A4/A5 gene cluster in both TG and metabolic homeostasis. 相似文献

Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) genes plays a significant role in the regulation of cell differentiation, proliferation and muscle development. The aim of this study is to investigate the genetic variation and the haplotype combination of the KLF6 gene in Qinchuan cattle and verify its contribution to bovine carcass traits and body measurements. The data were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) to detect the expression profile of the KLF6 gene in the various tissues of Qinchuan cattle. PCR amplicons sequencing explored three novel SNPs at loci 3332C > G; 3413C > T and 3521G > A in the 2nd exon region of the KLF6 gene. The expression of KLF6 in the liver, kidney and lung was greater than that of other tissues. Allelic and genotypic frequencies of these SNPs were found to be in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.05). In SNP1, genotype CC, in SNP2, genotype CT and in SNP3 genotype GG were associated (P < 0.05) with larger body and carcass measurements. Association analysis results indicated that individuals with the Hap1/4 diplotype had a longer body and rump, were taller at the withers, and were wider at the hip than the other combinations. In terms of ultrasound carcass measures, Hap1/4 was associated with a larger muscle area and more intramuscular fat than other combinations. The bioinformatics study of the KLF6 protein showed a high degree of conservation in different mammalian species. The above results suggest that the KLF6 gene can used as potential candidate markers gene for the beef breed improvement through marker assisted selection of Qinchuan cattle. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate the candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exon’s region of bovine diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT1) gene using bioinformatics and experimental methods. A total of 17 SNPs were screened from public data resources and DNA sequencing. Three SNPs (c.572A>G, c.1241C>T and c.1416T>G) of these candidate SNPs were genotyped by created restriction site-polymerase chain reaction (CRS-PCR) methods. The gene-specific SNP markers and their effects on meat and carcass fatness quality traits were evaluated in Chinese commercial cattle. The c.572A>G and c.1416T>G significantly effected on backfat thickness, longissimus muscle area, marbling score, fat color and Warner-Bratzler shear force. No significant association was detected between the c.1241C>T and measured traits. Results from this study suggested that the SNP markers may be effective for the marker-assisted selection of meat and carcass fatness quality traits, and added new evidence that DGAT1 gene is an important candidate gene for the improvement of meat and carcass fatness quality in beef cattle industry. 相似文献

Objective: The main purpose of this study was to investigate associations of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the adipocyte C1q and collagen domain‐containing (ACDC) gene and its regulator, the nuclear peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR)‐γ gene, with body fat mass and its topographical distribution in postmenopausal women. Research Methods and Procedures: Participants were 1501 healthy women, 60 to 85 years old, who were genotyped for four SNPs in the ACDC gene (−11391G/A, −11377C/G, +45T/G, +276G/T) and the Pro12Ala SNP in the PPAR‐γ gene. Total body fat mass and the central to peripheral fat mass ratio (CFM/PFM ratio) were measured using DXA. Adiponectin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance were measured in 287 subjects. Results: The −11377C/G SNP was associated with adiponectin (p < 0.001) and the CFM/PFM ratio (p = 0.005); the G allele being associated with low adiponectin and high CFM/PFM ratio. Similar associations of adiponectin (p = 0.0001) and the CFM/PFM ratio (p = 0.002) characterized the 1_2 (G_G) promoter haplotype (11391G/A_−11377C/G). Genotype variation of SNP Pro12Ala was associated with total body fat mass (p = 0.04); women with GG being the most obese (p = 0.01). The Ala/Ala (GG) genotype of Pro12Ala SNP interacted with the CC genotype of SNP‐11377C/G in the determination of BMI (p = 0.001), when analyzed using a codominant model. Discussion: Polymorphisms in the ACDC gene are associated with body fat distribution, whereas the Pro12Ala polymorphism in PPAR‐γ is associated with overall adiposity, apparently in interaction with an ACDC promoter SNP. 相似文献

Ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone (UQCC) involved in the development and maintenance of bone and cartilage is an important candidate gene for body measurement traits
selection through marker-assisted selection (MAS). The expression of UQCC is upregulated in many human and animal models of height as well as other stature indexes. We have cloned the cDNA sequence
coding UQCC gene in bovine. Genomic structural analysis indicated that bovine UQCC shares a high similarity with human UQCC. Furthermore, Real-Time PCR analysis show that the expression of bovine UQCC is remarkably different in diverse tissues, including high level expression in the spleen, heart and windpipe, and relatively
low expression in other tissues. We also analyzed allele frequencies in different cattle breeds and an association study on
the selected SNPs. SNP DraI A2691T in intron 1 and SNP Bsh1236I A3150G in intron 8 are significantly associated with Body
Length (BL), Rump Length (RL), Chest Depth (CD) and Pin Bone Width (PBW). For the A2691T SNP marker, there are significant
effects on the RL (p = 0.0001), CD (p = 0.0059) and PBW (p < 0.0001) in 679 individuals; with A3150G SNP marker, there are
significant effects on the BL (p = 0.0047) and CD (p = 0.0454. Regarding association analysis of combination of the two SNPs,
there are significant effects on the BL (p = 0.0215), CD (p = 0.0282) and PBW (p = 0.0329) in the total population. The results
suggest that the UQCC gene is a candidate gene of body measurement traits in bovine reproduction and breeding, and provide data for establishing
of an animal model using cattle to study big animal body type. 相似文献

Marbling defined by the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat, so-called Shimofuri , is an economically important trait of beef cattle in Japan. The endothelial differentiation sphingolipid G-protein-coupled receptor 1 ( EDG1 ) gene, involved in blood vessel formation, has been previously shown to be expressed at different levels in musculus longissimus muscle between low-marbled and high-marbled steer groups. It is located within the genomic region of a quantitative trait locus for marbling, and thus was considered as a positionally functional candidate for the gene responsible for marbling. In this study, two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) and the 3' UTR of EDG1 , referred to as c. - 312A>G and c.*446G>A , respectively, were detected between the two steer groups. The two SNPs were associated with the predicted breeding value for beef marbling standard number by analyses using a population of Japanese Black beef cattle. The effect of genotypes at each of the SNPs on the predicted breeding value for subcutaneous fat thickness was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Reporter gene assays revealed no significant differences in gene expression between alleles at each of the SNPs. These findings suggest that EDG1 SNPs, although they may not be regarded as a causal mutation, may be useful for effective marker-assisted selection to increase the levels of marbling in Japanese Black beef cattle. 相似文献

Acyl-coenzyme A oxidase 1 (ACOX1) is the first enzyme in peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation; it is rate-limiting and plays a key role in fatty acid metabolism and fat deposition. ACOX1 is an important candidate gene for meat quality selection through marker-assisted selection. Genomic structural analysis showed that bovine ACOX1 shares 86% identity with human ACOX1. Using PCR-SSCP technology, we discovered a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A1865C) in exon 13 of the ACOX1 gene. Allele frequencies of this SNP were investigated and evaluated with the χ(2) test in 641 cattle populations; only the Jiaxian red population was not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Gene heterozygosity, effective allele numbers and polymorphism information content of the bovine ACOX1 locus in seven populations varied from 0.2778 to 0.4954, 1.3846 to 1.9817 and 0.2392 to 0.3727, respectively. We also looked for a potential association of this SNP with ultrasound traits in 327 individuals and found a significant effect on ultrasound backfat thickness and ultrasound marbling score (P < 0.05). Meat quality traits were analyzed in another 71 Qinchuan individuals to determine associations with genotype. Animals with genotype AA had higher mean values of backfat thickness than those with genotypes AC and CC. A represents the base before mutation and C represents the base after mutation. We conclude that this SNP of the ACOX1 gene has potential as a genetic marker for meat quality traits in cattle reproduction and breeding. 相似文献

Influence of the APOA5 locus on plasma triglyceride, lipoprotein subclasses, and CVD risk in the Framingham Heart Study 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Several polymorphisms in the APOA5 gene have been associated with increased plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations. However, associations between APOA5 and lipoprotein subclasses, remnant-like particles (RLPs), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk have been less explored. We investigated associations of five APOA5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; -1131T>C, -3A>G, 56C>G IVS3+ 476G>A, and 1259T>C) with lipoprotein subfractions and CVD risk in 1,129 men and 1,262 women participating in the Framingham Heart Study. Except for the 56C>G SNP, the other SNPs were in significant linkage disequilibria, resulting in three haplotypes (11111, 22122, and 11211) representing 98% of the population. SNP analyses revealed that the -1131T>C and 56C>G SNPs were significantly associated with higher plasma TG concentrations in both men and women. For RLP and lipoprotein subclasses, we observed gender-specific association for the -1131T>C and 56C>G SNPs. Female carriers of the -1131C allele had higher RLP concentrations, whereas in males, significant associations for RLPs were observed for the 56G allele. Moreover, haplotype analyses confirmed these findings and revealed that the 22122 and 11211 haplotypes exhibited different associations with HDL cholesterol concentrations. In women, the -1131C allele was associated with a higher hazard ratio for CVD (1.85; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-3.34; P = 0.04), in agreement with the association of this SNP with higher RLPs. 相似文献

Leucine aminopeptidase 3 (LAP3) is an aminopeptidase which catalyses the removal of N-terminal amino acids and is involved in protein maturation and degradation. In this study, we detected the polymorphisms of LAP3 gene by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods in 916 individuals from three Chinese cattle breeds including Chinese Holstein, Luxi Yellow and Bohai Black. One novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (g.24564G>A ss196003366) and four previously deposited SNPs in the GenBank database (g.24794T>G, g.24803T>C, g.24846T>C, g.25415T>C) were detected. Three of the SNPs (g.24794T>G, g.24803T>C, g.24846T>C) were firstly found to be linked completely and regarded as a SNP g.24794M>N by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing in the tested breeds. The allelic frequencies and genetic indices of the SNPs were different in three Chinese cattle populations. The SNPs and their genetic effects on milk production traits in Chinese Holsteins were evaluated. Least squares analysis showed that cows with genotype MM had higher fat percentage and protein percentage than genotype NN (P<0.05); and the cows with g.25415T>C-CC genotype had higher protein rate than ones with TT genotype (P<0.05). In addition, eight haplotypes and 23 combined genotypes were identified based on the nine genotypes and the association between combined genotypes and milk production traits were analyzed. Statistic results showed that the cows with genotype combination MAT/MGC have higher protein and fat rate and lower SCS. Our finding demonstrated that the LAP3 gene possibly contributed to conducting association analysis and can be used as molecular marker in milk production traits and other performance for animal breeding. 相似文献

Adiponectin (ADIPOQ) modulates several biological processes including energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism. The bovine ADIPOQ gene was located near the QTL affecting marbling, ribeye muscle area and fat thickness on BTA1. The gene encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PPARGC1A) was located within the QTL region of the traits on BTA6. Moreover, its protein product has various biological functions such as cellular energy homeostasis, including adaptive thermogenesis, adipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. Therefore, the ADIPOQ and PPARGC1A genes are a positional and functional candidate gene for carcass traits in beef cattle. The objectives of this study were to identify polymorphisms in the bovine ADIPOQ and PPARGC1A genes, to evaluate their associations with carcass traits in Hanwoo (Korean cattle) population. We identified nine SNPs in the ADIPOQ gene. Two SNPs (DQ156119: g.1436T > C and DQ156119: g.1454A > G) in the promoter region were recognized as new SNPs identified in Hanwoo. Association analysis indicated that the g.1454A > G SNP genotype was significantly associated with effects on LMA (P = 0.004) and BF (P = 0.021). The ADIPOQ haplotype was also found to have significant effect on the LMA. In the PPARGC1A gene, we identified 11 SNPs in the two unexplored regions (intron 3 and 5). Among them, seven SNPs were located in intron 3 and four SNPs were located in intron 5. Of these 11 putative novel SNPs, two SNPs (AY839822: g.292C > T and AY839823: g.1064C > T) with minor allele frequency (MAF) > 0.20 were examined for associations with carcass traits. The association analysis revealed that both SNPs in PPARGC1A gene were significantly associated with LMA (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the SNPs of bovine ADIPOQ and PPARGC1A genes may be a useful molecular marker for selection of carcass traits in Hanwoo. 相似文献

SNPs in the porcine <Emphasis Type="Italic">PPARGC1a</Emphasis> gene: Interbreed differences and their phenotypic effects 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Due to its function, the peroxisome proliferative activated receptor-γ, coactivator-1α (PPARGC1A) gene is a candidate in the search for genes that may affect production traits in the pig. The purpose of this study was
to screen for new SNPs in exon 8 of the porcine PPARGC1A gene and to test their possible association with production traits. Altogether 736 pigs representing five breeds Polish Landrace,
n=242; Polish Large White, n=192; Hampshire, n=27; Duroc, 21; Pietrain, n=12) and synthetic line 990 (n=242) were scanned
via SSCP assay. Four SNPs were found; two new ones: C/G (His338Gln) and G/A Thr359Thr), and two previously reported ones:
C/A (Arg369Arg) and T/A Cys430Ser). The missense T/A and C/G SNPs demonstrated pronounced interbreed variability in terms
of allele frequencies, including the exclusive presence of the C/G substitution in the Hampshire breed. The tested SNPs occurred
in five putative haplotypes, and their frequency also differed substantially between breeds. The association of the SNPs with
production traits was tested for G/A (Thr359Thr), C/A (Arg369Arg) and T/A (Cys430Ser) substitutions in Polish Large White,
Polish Landrace and line 990. The analysis revealed only breed-specific associations. The T/A (Cys430Ser) SNP was related
to the feed conversion ratio in the Polish Large White (P=0.02), and the silent G/A and C/A substitutions were respectively
associated with abdominal fat in line 990 and backfat thickness in Polish Landrace (P=0.04). The combined effects of the substitutions
were estimated as haplotype effects. Three significant contrasts between haplotypes were calculated, but the observed associations
were again only breed-specific. 相似文献
