Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:3720. [PMID: 38067071 PMCID: PMC10705307 DOI: 10.3390/ani13233720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is involved in the breakdown of triacylglycerols in adipose tissue, which influences muscle tenderness and juiciness by affecting the intramuscular fat content (IMF). This study analyzed the association between different genotypes and haplotypes of the yak HSL gene and carcass and meat quality traits. We used hybridization pool sequencing to detect exon 2, exon 8, and intron 3 variants of the yak HSL gene and genotyped 525 Gannan yaks via KASP to analyze the effects of the HSL gene variants on the carcass and meat quality traits in yaks. According to the results, the HSL gene is highly expressed in yak adipose tissue. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified, with 2 of them located in the coding region and one in the intron region. Variants in the 2 coding regions resulted in amino acid changes. The population had 3 genotypes of GG, AG, and AA, and individuals with the AA genotype had lower WBSF values (p < 0.05). The H3H3 haplotype combinations could improve meat tenderness by reducing the WBSF values and the cooking loss rate (CLR) (p < 0.05). H1H1 haplotype combinations were associated with the increased drip loss rate (DLR) (p < 0.05). The presence of the H1 haplotype was associated the increased CLR in yaks, while that of the H2 haplotype was associated with the decreased DLR in yaks (p < 0.05). These results demonstrated that the HSL gene may influence the meat quality traits in yaks by affecting the IMF content in muscle tissues. Consequently, the HSL gene can possibly be used as a biomarker for improving the meat quality traits in yaks in the future.

Ibrahim AHM. Polymorphisms in hormone-sensitive lipase and leptin receptor genes and their association with growth traits in Barki lambs. Vet World 2021; 14:515-522. [PMID: 33776319 PMCID: PMC7994136 DOI: 10.14202/vetworld.2021.515-522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Aim Marker-assisted selection has many advantages over conventional selection in animal breeding. The candidate gene approach has been applied to identify genetic markers associated with economically important traits in livestock. This study was established to investigate variation in the hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes, and their association with growth traits in Barki lambs. Materials and Methods Records for birth weight (BW), pre-weaning average daily gain (ADG1), weaning weight (WW), post-weaning average daily gain (ADG2), and marketing weight (MW) were obtained from 247 Barki lambs. Polymerase chain reaction-single-stranded conformational polymorphism analyses were used to detect variation in exon 9 of HSL and exon 19 of LEPR. General linear models were used to test for associations between the variation in ovine HSL and LEPR, and growth traits. Results The SSCP banding patterns for HSL showed three variants (H1, H2, and H3), which contained two nucleotide-sequence differences (c.1865C>T and c.2038T>C). Two SSCP banding patterns (L1 and L2) were observed for LEPR and these contained two nucleotide-sequence differences (c.2800G>A and c.2978C>G). The HSL genotype showed no effect on the studied traits. The LEPR genotype was proven to have significant effects (p<0.05) on ADG2 and MW. The presence of the L1 variant was associated (p<0.01) with decreased ADG2 and MW. Conclusion The finding of an association between LEPR gene variation and growth rate after weaning in Barki lambs warrants efforts to improve this trait.

Trop Anim Health Prod 2020; 52:3631-3638.

Abstract
The lipase E hormone-sensitive (LIPE) enzyme is one of the lipolytic enzymes, and it plays a key role in the regulation of adipose tissue deposition. This study was conducted to investigate the possible association between the LIPE gene variations and the main body weight measurements in Awassi sheep. A total of 160 of sexually mature Awassi rams (Ovis aries) that aged between 2 and 3 years were included in the present study. Genomic DNA was extracted and two specific PCR amplicons were designed to amplify two coding regions within the LIPE gene. Genotyping experiments were performed using polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP). Two different SSCP banding patterns were identified, CC and CD in exon 2, and AA and AT in exon 9. Five novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by sequencing, namely g.151C > A and g.198C > T in exon 2, and g.213G > C, g.226G > T, and g.232A > C in exon 9. Haplotype block analysis showed strong linkage disequilibrium values between the two SNPs in exon 2 and the three SNPs in exon 9. Association analysis of haplotypes with carcass traits demonstrated a significantly higher dressing percentage (P < 0.05) and lower fat tail weight (FTW) in CACT and GCGTAC haplotypes made these haplotypes more favorable for human consumption. The current research is the first one to report a tight association between the LIPE genetic polymorphism and the dressing percentage and FTW traits, suggesting a pivotal role played by these co-inherited SNPs in the metabolism of carcass traits in sheep.

Abstract
The hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) gene plays an important role in mammals' lipid metabolism. Therefore, its function in fish is capturing increasing attention. In this study, two distinct cDNAs, designated HSL1 and HSL2, are firstly identified from common carp Cyprinus carpio. The full-length cDNA of HSL1 and HSL2 consists of 3379 bp and 2732 bp, encoding polypeptide of 693 and 847 amino acids, respectively, and shares 60.6% amino acid identity. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that HSL1 and HSL2 are derived from paralogous genes, which might have arisen during a teleost-specific genome duplication event. The two HSL mRNAs are differentially expressed, both in terms of distribution among tissues and in terms of abundance during embryogenesis. Moreover, both HSL mRNAs are expressed in various tissues, the highest in abdominal fat. Meanwhile, the two HSLs are detected at all stages of embryonic development, suggesting that they could be functional and involved in embryogenesis. In addition, the results show that the mRNA expression level of HSL2 in the high group of intramuscular fat content is significantly higher than that in the low group (P < 0.01). The research provides basic data for developing a further understanding of the function of HSL as well as molecular regulation mechanism in fat metabolism of common carp.
