RESULTS: The results showed that 842, 1301 and 1137 differentially expressed genes were identified in H group, SH group and EHH group, respectively. Among them, 191 differential genes were enriched in these three strains, including pre-folding protein subunit 6 (PFDN6), DnaJ heat shock protein family member A4 (DNAJA4), myosin heavy chain 8 (MYH8) and so on. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was performed on 191 differentially expressed genes shared by the three strains to determine common biological pathways. The results showed that the differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in ribosomes, unfolded protein binding, FoxO signaling pathway, glycolysis / glycogen generation and glutathione signaling pathway that regulate muscle protein synthesis and energy metabolism. The results of qRT-PCR were consistent with transcriptome sequencing, which proved that the sequencing results were reliable.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this study revealed the important genes and signaling pathways related to sheep skeletal muscle development, and the result laid a foundation for further understanding the mechanism of sheep skeletal muscle development.
结果:结果显示,在H组中鉴定出842、1301和1137个差异表达基因,SH组和EHH组,分别。其中,在这三个菌株中富集了191个差异基因,包括预折叠蛋白亚基6(PFDN6),DnaJ热休克蛋白家族成员A4(DNAJA4),肌球蛋白重链8(MYH8)等。对三个菌株共有的191个差异表达基因进行GO和KEGG富集分析,以确定共同的生物学途径。结果表明,差异表达基因在核糖体中显著富集,未折叠的蛋白质结合,FoxO信号通路,糖酵解/糖原生成和谷胱甘肽信号通路调节肌肉蛋白合成和能量代谢。qRT-PCR检测结果与转录组测序结果一致,证明测序结果可靠。
结论:总体而言,本研究揭示了与绵羊骨骼肌发育相关的重要基因和信号通路,为进一步了解绵羊骨骼肌发育机制奠定了基础。
