Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differential expression of FABP2 in different tissues of DLY fattening pigs fed different proportions of Zanthoxylum seeds instead of some corn,and to find the key gene for intramuscular fat deposition;at the same time,the sequence of the coding region of FABP2 in DLY fattening pigs was cloned and analyzed by bioinformatics methods.A total of 288,90-day-old Duroc Landrace Yorkshire fattening pigs(33 kg)were randomly divided into 4 groups with 4 replicates and 18 pigs in each replicate;the control group was fed the basal diet and the test group was fed Zanthoxylum seeds instead of corn in the diet at 2.5%(test group Ⅰ),5.0%(test group Ⅱ)and 7.5%(test group Ⅲ),respectively,for 7 d in the pretest and 100 d in the test period.PCR was used to detect the relative expression of FABP2 in different tissues of the test groups,and the coding region of FABP2 in DLY fattening pigs was also cloned,and bioinformatics analysis software was used to predict the physicochemical properties,structural domains and phosphorylation kinase sites of FABP2 protein.The results showed that FABP2 was differentially expressed in all tissues,with significantly higher expression in jejunum and liver.Compared with the control group,FABP2 was significantly down-regulated in heart,lung,kidney,duodenum,jejunum and cecum tissues in each test group;FABP2 was significantly up-regulated in spleen and ileum tissues in test group Ⅱ and test group Ⅲ;FABP2 was significantly up-regulated in liver,colon,rectum and dorsal muscle tissues in test group Ⅰ,indicating that the addition of Zanthoxylum seeds in the diet had a significant effect on the expression profile of FABP2 gene in DLY fattening pigs.In this experiment,the full length(399 bp)of the coding region of FABP2 was successfully cloned and identified,encoding 132 amino acids,with two missense mutations;FABP2 protein was an acidic stable non-secretory protein with a secondary structure consisting mainly of extended chains and random coils,containing a Lipocalin-FABP2 superfamily conserved structural domain and three disordered regions.
