In this study, Xiangsu hybrid pig growth traits were evaluated via and as candidate genes. Sanger sequencing revealed three mutation sites in , namely, g.42101G>T, g.60146A>T, and g.61455G>A, and all these sites were intronic mutations. Moreover, six mutation sites were identified in : intronic g.4374G>T, exonic g.4564T>C, exonic g.6378G>A, exonic g.6386C>T, intronic g.8643G>A, and intronic g.8857A>G. Association analysis revealed that g.42101G>T, g.60146A>T, g.61455G>A, g.4374G>T, g.4564T>C, g.6378G>A, g.6386C>T, g.8643G>A, and g.8857A>G showed different relationship patterns among body weight, body length, body height, chest circumference, abdominal circumference, tube circumference, and chest depth. Real-time polymerase chain reaction results revealed that the expression of was highest in the longissimus dorsi muscle, followed by that in the heart, kidney, liver, lung, and spleen. The expression of was highest in the spleen, followed by that in the liver, kidney, lung, heart, and longissimus dorsi muscle. These results suggest that and can be used in marker-assisted selection to improve growth related traits in Xiangsu hybrid pigs, providing new candidate genes for Pig molecular breeding.
本研究以湘猪为研究对象,通过 和 作为候选基因,评估其生长性状。Sanger 测序发现 中存在 3 个突变位点,分别为 g.42101G>T、g.60146A>T 和 g.61455G>A,且均为内含子突变; 中存在 6 个突变位点,分别为内含子 g.4374G>T、外显子 g.4564T>C、外显子 g.6378G>A、外显子 g.6386C>T、内含子 g.8643G>A 和内含子 g.8857A>G。关联分析表明,g.42101G>T、g.60146A>T、g.61455G>A、g.4374G>T、g.4564T>C、g.6378G>A、g.6386C>T、g.8643G>A 和 g.8857A>G 与体重、体斜长、体高、胸围、腹围、管围和胸深等生长性状存在不同的关联模式。实时聚合酶链反应结果表明, 在背最长肌中的表达量最高,其次是心脏、肾脏、肝脏、肺脏和脾脏; 在脾脏中的表达量最高,其次是肝脏、肾脏、肺脏、心脏和背最长肌。这些结果表明, 和 可用于标记辅助选择,以改善湘猪的生长相关性状,为猪的分子育种提供新的候选基因。
