Abstract
1. This study determined the effective indicators and proteins involved in long-duration fertility (DF) in chickens.2. Three lines of Chinese Xinhua chickens (900) were compared using seven phenotypic trait indicators, and the best was determined based on repeatability value. Subsequently, differential expression analysis, functional annotation and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses were performed to investigate the pathways and hub proteins. Finally, qPCR analysis was conducted to validate the expression of identified hub proteins, and functional annotation with previously published genes was performed to explain how hub proteins work to maintain the trait.3. The study found that the number of fertilised eggs (FN) and maximum fertilised eggs (MCF) were the most repeatable among the seven indicators. It identified 231 differentially expressed proteins, with 144 being down-regulated and 87 being up-regulated. The differentially expressed proteins exhibited high clustering within various cellular compartments, including the cytosol and cytoplasm and GTP binding. Multiple pathways were identified, including tight and adherens junctions, TGF-beta signalling, autophagy-animal, regulation of actin cytoskeleton and the ribosome that may regulate the trait. Three hub proteins, KRAS, RPL5 (p < 0.001), and HSPA4 (p < 0.01), were significantly differentially expressed between high and low DF groups.4. This study identified FN and MCF as effective indicators for addressing DF. As it is a quantitative trait, KRAS, HSPA4, and RPL5 are potential hub proteins that work with other genes to maintain the trait.
期刊介绍:
From its first volume in 1960, British Poultry Science has been a leading international journal for poultry scientists and advisers to the poultry industry throughout the world. Over 60% of the independently refereed papers published originate outside the UK. Most typically they report the results of biological studies with an experimental approach which either make an original contribution to fundamental science or are of obvious application to the industry. Subjects which are covered include: anatomy, embryology, biochemistry, biophysics, physiology, reproduction and genetics, behaviour, microbiology, endocrinology, nutrition, environmental science, food science, feeding stuffs and feeding, management and housing welfare, breeding, hatching, poultry meat and egg yields and quality.Papers that adopt a modelling approach or describe the scientific background to new equipment or apparatus directly relevant to the industry are also published. The journal also features rapid publication of Short Communications. Summaries of papers presented at the Spring Meeting of the UK Branch of the WPSA are published in British Poultry Abstracts .
