Abstract
The worldwide chicken gene pool encompasses a remarkable, but shrinking, number of divergently selected breeds of diverse origin. This study was a large-scale genome-wide analysis of the landscape of the complex molecular architecture, genetic variability, and detailed structure among 49 populations. These populations represent a significant sample of the world's chicken breeds from Europe (Russia, Czech Republic, France, Spain, UK, etc.), Asia (China), North America (USA), and Oceania (Australia). Based on the results of breed genotyping using the Illumina 60K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip, a bioinformatic analysis was carried out. This included the calculation of heterozygosity/homozygosity statistics, inbreeding coefficients, and effective population size. It also included assessment of linkage disequilibrium and construction of phylogenetic trees. Using multidimensional scaling, principal component analysis, and ADMIXTURE-assisted global ancestry analysis, we explored the genetic structure of populations and subpopulations in each breed. An overall 49-population phylogeny analysis was also performed, and a refined evolutionary model of chicken breed formation was proposed, which included egg, meat, dual-purpose types, and ambiguous breeds. Such a large-scale survey of genetic resources in poultry farming using modern genomic methods is of great interest both from the viewpoint of a general understanding of the genetics of the domestic chicken and for the further development of genomic technologies and approaches in poultry breeding. In general, whole genome SNP genotyping of promising chicken breeds from the worldwide gene pool will promote the further development of modern genomic science as applied to poultry.

Gene 2022; 829:146479. [PMID: 35460805 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2022.146479] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
To explore the effects of growth-related genes in both sexes and at different growth and development stages, male and female white Muscovy ducks at embryonic day E13, E17, E21, E25 and E29 were assessed in this study. RT-qPCR was used to determine the mRNA transcription levels of selected growth-related genes in the leg muscles of Muscovy ducks of both sexes and at different growth and developmental stages. MSTN, IGF2BP1 and FABP2 mRNAs were expressed in the leg muscles of male and female Muscovy ducks, but with different expression patterns. The MSTN and IGF2BP1 mRNA expression patterns were wavelike. MSTN mRNA expression was elevated at E13, increased at E17, decreased rapidly to the lowest level at E21, increased again at E25, and then decreased. IGF2BP1 mRNA expression was elevated at E13, increased at E17, decreased rapidly at E21, decreased rapidly to the lowest level at E25, and increased at E29. The expression trend of FABP2 mRNA was approximately "⊥" shape; the expression was the lowest at E13, increased slowly from E17 to E25, and increased extremely significantly at E29. In addition, the expression of MSTN in male Muscovy ducks was significantly higher than that in female ducks at E25 (P < 0.05). The expression of IGF2BP1 in male Muscovy ducks was extremely significantly higher than that in female ducks at E17 (P < 0.01). However, the expression of FABP2 in female Muscovy ducks was extremely significantly higher than that in male Muscovy ducks at E21 and E29 (P < 0.01). In conclusion, the mRNA expression of MSTN, IGF2BP1 and FABP2 in white Muscovy ducks is gestational age specific and sex specific. The differential gene expression patterns observed in this study provide a basis for understanding the physiological changes in white Muscovy ducks at different embryonic ages and in both sexes, supplementing the existing research on duck embryo muscle development. In addition, the findings provide a new framework for further discussion of poultry breeding.

Abstract
In mammals, Myostatin (MSTN) is a known negative regulator of muscle growth and development, but its role in birds is poorly understood. To investigate the molecular mechanism of MSTN on muscle growth and development in chickens, we knocked out MSTN in chicken fetal myoblasts (CFMs) and sequenced the mRNA transcriptomes. The amplicon sequencing results show that the editing efficiency of the cells was 76%. The transcriptomic results showed that 296 differentially expressed genes were generated after down-regulation of MSTN, including angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE), extracellular fatty acid-binding protein (EXFABP) and troponin T1, slow skeletal type (TNNT1). These genes are closely associated with myoblast differentiation, muscle growth and energy metabolism. Subsequent enrichment analysis showed that DEGs of CFMs were related to MAPK, Pl3K/Akt, and STAT3 signaling pathways. The MAPK and Pl3K/Akt signaling pathways are two of the three known signaling pathways involved in the biological effects of MSTN in mammals, and the STAT3 pathway is also significantly enriched in MSTN knock out chicken leg muscles. The results of this study will help to understand the possible molecular mechanism of MSTN regulating the early differentiation of CFMs and lay a foundation for further research on the molecular mechanism of MSTN involvement in muscle growth and development.

Key Genes Regulating Skeletal Muscle Development and Growth in Farm Animals. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11030835.

Abstract
Simple Summary Skeletal muscle mass is an important economic trait, and muscle development and growth is a crucial factor to supply enough meat for human consumption. Thus, understanding (candidate) genes regulating skeletal muscle development is crucial for understanding molecular genetic regulation of muscle growth and can be benefit the meat industry toward the goal of increasing meat yields. During the past years, significant progress has been made for understanding these mechanisms, and thus, we decided to write a comprehensive review covering regulators and (candidate) genes crucial for muscle development and growth in farm animals. Detection of these genes and factors increases our understanding of muscle growth and development and is a great help for breeders to satisfy demands for meat production on a global scale. Abstract Farm-animal species play crucial roles in satisfying demands for meat on a global scale, and they are genetically being developed to enhance the efficiency of meat production. In particular, one of the important breeders’ aims is to increase skeletal muscle growth in farm animals. The enhancement of muscle development and growth is crucial to meet consumers’ demands regarding meat quality. Fetal skeletal muscle development involves myogenesis (with myoblast proliferation, differentiation, and fusion), fibrogenesis, and adipogenesis. Typically, myogenesis is regulated by a convoluted network of intrinsic and extrinsic factors monitored by myogenic regulatory factor genes in two or three phases, as well as genes that code for kinases. Marker-assisted selection relies on candidate genes related positively or negatively to muscle development and can be a strong supplement to classical selection strategies in farm animals. This comprehensive review covers important (candidate) genes that regulate muscle development and growth in farm animals (cattle, sheep, chicken, and pig). The identification of these genes is an important step toward the goal of increasing meat yields and improves meat quality.

Abstract
Muscle growth and development are important aspects of chicken meat production, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain unclear and need further exploration. CRISPR has been used for gene editing to study gene function in mice, but less has been done in chick muscles. To verify whether postnatal gene editing could be achieved in chick muscles and determine the transcriptomic changes, we knocked out Myostatin (MSTN), a potential inhibitor of muscle growth and development, in chicks and performed transcriptome analysis on knock-out (KO) muscles and wild-type (WT) muscles at two post-natal days: 3d (3-day-old) and 14d (14-day-old). Large fragment deletions of MSTN (>5 kb) were achieved in all KO muscles, and the MSTN gene expression was significantly downregulated at 14d. The transcriptomic results indicated the presence of 1339 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the 3d KO and 3d WT muscles, as well as 597 DEGs between 14d KO and 14d WT muscles. Many DEGs were found to be related to cell differentiation and proliferation, muscle growth and energy metabolism. This method provides a potential means of postnatal gene editing in chicks, and the results presented here could provide a basis for further investigation of the mechanisms involved in muscle growth and development.

Abstract
Myostatin (MSTN) is a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and plays an important role in muscle development. In this research, we constructed a tissue expression profile of the pigeon MSTN gene in eight tissues and a spatio-temporal expression profile in the pectoral muscle using qRT-PCR method. And the pectoralis muscle fiber traits during pigeon post-hatching stages at 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 D were analyzed through the paraffin sections. Then the correlations between the muscle fiber diameter, cross-sectional area, density, and the expression of MSTN in the pectoral muscle were analyzed. Results showed that MSTN mRNA was mainly expressed in breast muscle, heart, spleen, and kidney and it was almost unexpressed in the liver and lungs. Moreover, the MSTN mRNA expression level in breast muscle was significantly higher than that in other tissues (P < 0.05), and showed an interesting trend that it decreased in the first week and then increased with age. Meanwhile, decrease of myostatin transcripts was accompanied by the down-regulation of Myf5 and the up-regulation of MyoG during the first week post-hatching. In addition, the paraffin sections analysis results revealed that the diameter and cross-sectional area of pectoralis muscle fiber significantly increased with age (P < 0.05), and a significant positive correlation was shown between the MSTN gene expression level and muscle fiber diameter (P < 0.05). These fundamental researches might contribute to further understanding of the roles MSTN played in the post-hatching muscle fiber development in pigeon.

Abstract
Myostatin is a member of TGF-β super family and is directly involved in regulation of body growth through limiting muscular growth. A study was carried out in three chicken lines to identify the polymorphism in the coding region of the myostatin gene through SSCP and DNA sequencing. A total of 12 haplotypes were observed in myostatin coding region of chicken. Significant associations between haplogroups with body weight at day 1, 14, 28, and 42 days, and carcass traits at 42 days were observed across the lines. It is concluded that the coding region of myostatin gene was polymorphic, with varied levels of expression among lines and had significant effects on growth traits. The expression of MSTN gene varied during embryonic and post hatch development stage.

Abstract
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has enabled highly efficient genome targeted editing for various organisms. However, few studies have focused on CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease-mediated chicken genome editing compared with mammalian genomes. The current study combined CRISPR with yeast Rad52 (yRad52) to enhance targeted genomic DNA editing in chicken DF-1 cells. The efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease-induced targeted mutations in the chicken genome was increased to 41.9% via the enrichment of the dual-reporter surrogate system. In addition, the combined effect of CRISPR nuclease and yRad52 dramatically increased the efficiency of the targeted substitution in the myostatin gene using 50-mer oligodeoxynucleotides (ssODN) as the donor DNA, resulting in a 36.7% editing efficiency after puromycin selection. Furthermore, based on the effect of yRad52, the frequency of exogenous gene integration in the chicken genome was more than 3-fold higher than that without yRad52. Collectively, these results suggest that ssODN is an ideal donor DNA for targeted substitution and that CRISPR/Cas9 combined with yRad52 significantly enhances chicken genome editing. These findings could be extensively applied in other organisms.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system is significantly more complex than portrayed by traditional reductionist approaches that have focused on and studied the components of this system separately. While bone and skeletal muscle are the two largest tissues within this system, this system also includes tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints and other connective tissues along with vascular and nervous tissues. Because the main function of this system is locomotion, the mechanical interaction among the major players of this system is essential for the many shapes and forms observed in vertebrates and even in invertebrates. Thus, it is logical that the mechanical coupling theories of musculoskeletal development exert a dominant influence on our understanding of the biology of the musculoskeletal system, because these relationships are relatively easy to observe, measure, and perturb. Certainly much less recognized is the molecular and biochemical interaction among the individual players of the musculoskeletal system. In this brief review article, we first introduce some of the key reasons why the mechanical coupling theory has dominated our view of bone-muscle interactions followed by summarizing evidence for the secretory nature of bones and muscles. Finally, a number of highly physiological questions that cannot be answered by the mechanical theories alone will be raised along with different lines of evidence that support both a genetic and a biochemical communication between bones and muscles. It is hoped that these discussions will stimulate new insights into this fertile and promising new way of defining the relationships between these closely related tissues. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for biochemical communication between bone and muscle is important not only from a basic research perspective but also as a means to identify potential new therapies for bone and muscle diseases, especially for when they co-exist. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled "Muscle Bone Interactions".

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system is a complex organ comprised of the skeletal bones, skeletal muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints, and other connective tissue that physically and mechanically interact to provide animals and humans with the essential ability of locomotion. This mechanical interaction is undoubtedly essential for much of the diverse shape and forms observed in vertebrates and even in invertebrates with rudimentary musculoskeletal systems such as fish. It makes sense from a historical point of view that the mechanical theories of musculoskeletal development have had tremendous influence of our understanding of biology, because these relationships are clear and palpable. Less visible to the naked eye or even to the microscope is the biochemical interaction among the individual players of the musculoskeletal system. It was only in recent years that we have begun to appreciate that beyond this mechanical coupling of muscle and bones, these 2 tissues function at a higher level through crosstalk signaling mechanisms that are important for the function of the concomitant tissue. Our brief review attempts to present some of the key concepts of these new concepts and is outline to present muscles and bones as secretory/endocrine organs, the evidence for mutual genetic and tissue interactions, pathophysiological examples of crosstalk, and the exciting new directions for this promising field of research aimed at understanding the biochemical/molecular coupling of these 2 intimately associated tissues.

Abstract
Abstract 1. Polymorphisms of the duck MSTN gene were investigated in 413 individuals by DNA sequencing and polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism. Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (G129A, C324T, A981G and C1002A), with A981G and C1002A completely linked, were found in the coding region. 2. Association analysis showed that different genotypes of all the identified SNPs were significantly associated with duck growth rate from week 5, 6 and 2 for G129A, C324T and A981G (C1002A), respectively. The greatest difference in body weight was 180 g at week 9, 106 g at week 8 and 123 g at week 8, respectively, for the three SNP's. 3. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis indicated that C324T, A981G and C1002A were in strong LD. Nine main diplotypes from the reconstructed five main haplotypes were observed, and different diplotypes were significantly associated with growth rate from week 1. Birds with the h1h1 diplotype exhibited the largest body weight from week 1 onwards. 4. It was concluded that the duck MSTN gene was associated with body weight and is an important candidate gene for duck growth. traits and marker-assisted selection.

Abstract
Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that negatively regulates skeletal muscle development and growth. In the present study, partial genomic fragments of MSTN were screened for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in selected common carp individuals from wild populations, and two SNPs in intron 2 (c.371 + 749A > G, c.371 + 781T > C) and two synonymous SNPs in exon 3 (c.42A > G, c.72C > T) were identified. Genotyping by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products for these four SNPs were performed in 162 individuals from a commercial hatchery population. Association analysis showed that two SNPs in exon 3 were significantly associated with body weight (BW) and condition factor (K), and haplotype analyses revealed that haplotype H7H8 showed better growth performance. Our results demonstrated that some of the SNPs in MSTN may have positive effects on growth traits and suggested that MSTN could be a candidate gene for growth and marker-assisted selection in common carp.
