The aim of this study was to identify the polymorphism on fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) gene promoter region and its association with carcass traits in Hanwoo. We performed PCR-direct sequencing of FABP4 promoter region to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) using unrelated 24 Hanwoo bulls. Four SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G, -887A>G, -862A>G) were detected in the promoter region and genotyped on 583 Hanwoo steers. A linear mixed model revealed an association of three SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G and ?862A>G) with carcass weight and marbling score in dominance model (P<0.05). The animals with AA genotypes for the three SNPs were heavier carcass weight (5 kg) than animals with GG genotypes in the statistical analysis. For the marbling score, the AA genotype was lower effect of marbling score (0.21) than GG genotypes. In conclusion, this study indicates an important role for three SNPs detected in promoter region of FABP4 in determining carcass weight and marbling score in Hanwoo.

본 연구는 한우 거세우 266두에서 유전자형 결정이 완료된 4,522개의 SNP를 이용하여 한우 성장형질 (6, 12, 18 및 24개월 령 체중)에 대한 양적형질좌위 (QTL)을 탐색 하였다. 각 SNP와 성장형질과의 연관성 분석은 회귀분석 (single marker regression) 을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 통계적 유의성은 P-value (P<0.001)로 설정하였다. 그 결과, 6개월체중에서 3개 좌위, 12개월 체중에서는 5개 좌위, 18개월체중에서 5개좌위 그리고 24개월체중에서 4개 좌 위가 통계적 유의차를 보였다. 통계적 유의차를 보인 SNP의 상가 적 유전분산을 분석한 결과, 몇몇 SNP에서는 6~11% 정도의 상가 적 유전효과를 보였으며, 대부분의 SNP들은 2~5%로 매우 작은 효과를 보였다. Genome-wide association study was performed on data from 266 Hanwoo steers derived from 66 sires using bovine 10K mapping chip in Hanwoo (Korean cattle). SNPs were excluded from the analysis if they failed in over 5% of the genotypes, had median GC scores below 0.6, had GC scores under 0.6 in less than 90% of the samples, deviated in heterozygosity more than 3 standard deviations from the other SNPs and were out of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a cut-off p-value of 1-15. Unmapped and SNPs on sex chromosomes were also excluded. A total of 4,522 SNPs were included in the analysis. To test an association between SNP and QTL, a single marker regression analysis was implemented in this study. SNP was assumed to be in LD with QTL in close proximity and the effect evaluated was additive effect (QTL allele substitution effect). The number of significant SNP at a threshold of P<0.001 was 3, 5, 5 and 4 loci for live weight at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, respectively. For live weight at different ages, significant SNP were spread out across chromosome but some of significant SNP (rs29012453 and rs29012456 on BTA24) had shown highly significant effects. As for the distribution of size of SNP effects, few loci for live weight at different age had moderate effects (6~11%) but most of significant loci had small effects (2 to 5% of additive genetic variance) against total additive genetic variance. In conclusion, live weight at different age might be affected by few loci with moderate effect and many loci with small effects across genome in Hanwoo.

육질 등급에 차이를 보이는(3등급과 1++등급) 한우 등심육을 대상으로 한 단백체 연구를 통해 heat shock protein beta 1 (HSPB1)의 발현 차이가 관찰되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 HSPB1의 유전자와 단백질 수준에서의 발현이 육질에 중요한 요인으로 작용하는 연도(전단력)에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 전단력 값의 차이를 보이는 동기우 집단 20두를 대상으로 유전자 및 단백질의 발현량을 분석하였고, 통계분석을 수행하였다. 유전자 및 단백질 수준에서의 발현량을 분석한 결과 HSPB1은 전단력이 낮은 그룹에서 전단력이 높은 그룹보다 2배 발현이 높은 것으로 확인되었으며(p<0.05), 전단력과의 관련성 분석 결과에서도 유전자와 단백질 발현량 모두에서 통계적 유의성이 확인하였다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과로 볼 때 HSPB1 유전자는 한우 등심육의 연도와 밀접히 관련되어있다고 판단되며, 지속적으로 유전자구조 변이연구 등을 통해 유전자 마커로의 개발이 필요할 것으로 생각된다. In a previous proteomic study, heat shock protein beta 1 (HSPB1) was detected as differentially expressed protein in longissimus thoracis between low (grade 3) and high (grade 1++) meat quality groups by 2DE gel electrophoresis. The present study investigated an association of HSPB1 expression at the level of gene and protein with Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS) measured in 20 Hanwoo steers. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) between expression values and WBS showed that WBS was affected by HSPB1 expression (p<0.05). The expression (at both gene and protein level) of the HSPB1 was 2 times higher in the low WBS group than that in the high WBS group (p<0.01). This result suggests that the HSPB1 gene may be a candidate gene associated with tenderness in longissimus thoracis of Korean cattle.

본 연구는 Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire, Yorkshire를 기초 축으로 이용한 1003두에 대해 MC4R유전자의 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 그 다형성을 조사하고 돼지의 일당증체량, 등지방 두께, 사료 요구율, 정육율과 그 유전자형 간의 연관성을 규명하고자 실시하였다. MC4R유전자에 대해 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 226bp산물을 증폭한후 Taq I 체한효소로 사용하였다. 얻어진 MC4R gene의 유전자 빈도는 품종별로 다르게 나타났다. 통계적 분석을 통하여 각 유전자형에 대한 경제형질과 관련성을 분석한 결과 일당 증체량과 사료요구량은 NN 유전자형을 가진 개체들이 DN이나 DD유전자형을 가진 개체들에 비해 유의적으로 우수한 능력을 보였다(P < 0.05). 하지만 D 대립유전자는 높은 정육율과 낮은 등지방두께에 연관성이 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 돼지의 성장과 정육율과 관련된 선발력을 높이기 위해서 MC4R유전자의 다형성분석에서 검증된 PCR marker를 우량돼지육종 계획에 있어 분자생물학적 선발 marker로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. The Melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) regulates the energy balance and the genetic basis of obesity. A polymorphism in the porcine melanocortin-4 receptor has previously shown to be associated with growth, fat deposition and feed intake. In this study, the polymorphism of the gene was studied in several pig breeds of Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire, and Yorkshire. The results showed that the frequencies of MC4R genotype varied among those breeds. Association analyses were also performed between the MC4R polymorphism and average daily gain, feed conversion ratio, backfat thickness and lean percentage phenotypes. The results strongly support that the MC4R polymorphism can be used DNA marker selection indicator for economically important traits for pig breeding program in Korea.

본 연구는 TMR에 사용된 조사료원의 종류가 염소 반추위 발효 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시험에 사용된 조사료원은 볏짚(RS), 이탈리안 라이그라스(IRG), 티모시(TIM) 및 알팔파(ALF)을 이용하여 시험용 TMR을 제조하였다. In vitro 반추위 발효 실험은 24, 48 및 72시간 동안 진행하였고, 각 시간별 발효성상(발효가스, 휘발성지방산, 암모니아태 질소)을 조사하였다. 시험사료의 조단백질 및 비섬유성 탄수화물 함량은 RS, IRG, TIM 그리고 ALF 순으로 높았다. 발효 24시간에서는 valerate와 암모니아태 질소에서 유의적인 차이가 관찰되었고, ALF 시험구가 가장 높았고, RS가 가장 낮았다. 발효 48시간에서는 총 가스 발생량에서 유의적 차이가 관찰되었고(p<0.05), RS 시험구에서 가장 높은 가스발생량이 관찰되었다. 그러나 발효 72시간대에서는 RS 시험구에서 유의적으로 가장 낮은 가스발생량이 관찰되었다. 휘발성 지방산의 유의적인 차이는 발효 72시간에 관찰되었다. ALF 시험구에서 유의적으로 높은 총 휘발성지방산, butyrate 및 valerate 생성량이 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 메탄가스 발생량은 모든 발효시간동안 처리구간 유의적 차이가 관찰되지 않았다(p>0.05). 본 연구결과 염소에서 사료 내 조사료의 종류가 발효성상 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 염소에서 양질조사료의 활용성을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 실제 가축에서의 생산성 변화 등의 효과를 확인하기 위하여 in vivo 상에서 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다. In this study, the effect of forage sources in the total mixed ration (TMR) on in vitro goat rumen fermentation was investigated. Rice straw (RS), Italian ryegrass (IRG), timothy (TIM), and alfalfa (ALF) were used as forage sources. Each forage source was mixed with a commercial goat concentrate diet in the ratio of 1:1. Total 4 TMR were prepared. Rumen simulated in vitro fermentation using goat rumen fluid collected from the slaughterhouse was conducted until 72^th. For fermentation parameters, gas production (GP), volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and ammonia nitrogen (NH₃-N) were examined. All assays were performed at 24^th, 48^th, and 72^th h of incubation individually. Contents of crude protein and non-fibrous carbohydrate were greater in the order of RS < IRG < TIM < ALF. Significant treatment effects were found in valerate and NH₃-N at 24^th h of incubation (p<0.05). ALF showed the greatest contents of them and RS was the lowest. At 48^th incubation, a significant effect was detected at GP (p<0.05) and RS was greater than others. However, GP of RS was lower than others at 72^th. Significant effects on Total VFA, butyrate, and valerate productions were found at 72^th h of incubation (p<0.05). ALF showed the greatest production. Methane production from all treatments was not significantly different for each incubation time (p>0.05). The present study provided primary information on how goat rumen fermentation responds to different nutrient contents and forage sources of TMR. And the information could be used for the design or optimizing economical diet formulation for goats.

서보현 ( Bo-hyun Seo ),최봉환 ( Bong-hwan Choi ),김유진 ( Yu-jin Kim ) 국군의무사령부 2015 대한군진의학학술지 Vol.46 No.1

Objectives : Canine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a malformation in the development of the hip joint between acetabulum and femoral head that results in osteoarthritis. The highest incidence of CHD occurs in military working dogs (MWDs) such as German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. Although CHD is a genetic disease, its diagnosis has been only judged by clinical findings in aged dogs. In this study, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was investigated in the blood of MWDs to develop a concise and exact detection method for CHD at early ages. Methods : 70 MWDs (57 GSDs and ` BSDs) aged between 2-15 years old were assigned as based on OFA scores measured by X-ray diagnosis. Blood samples from 70 MWDs were collected in each EDTA tube, extracted using a Wizard genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), and analyzed concentrations and purities at absorbances of 260 nm and 280 nm using a ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, CA, USA). Each sample was genotyped on a Canine HD BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) containing 173,662 loci distributed across the entire canine genome. Results : Using the Plink program, 137,123 SNP markers were finally selected through a filtering process. When a genome-wide threshold level was determined using Bonferroni correction (i.e. 1/137,123=7.30×10-6), three significant SNP markers were found on CFA4. Conclusions : Three markers (BICF2S2352810, BICF2P832958 and BICF2P308917) were selected as a candidate marker for CHD test, which is a significant SNP marker among other SNPs. The present study was conducted to establish the relationship between CHD and marker using GWAS. Genotype of 3 SNPs on BICF2S2352810, BICF2P832958 and BICF2P308917 has indicated a normal for CHD through A, G, and C, respectively

특수 목적견(구조견, 군견, 안내견 및 탐지견)은 집중력, 소유욕, 대담성 등을 기반으로 한 훈련시험을 통해 선별된다. 최근 특수견으로서의 특수한 능력 및 품성에 대해 유전적인 정보가 중요한 인자로 다뤄지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 특수견으로서의 개의 특수한 능력 및 품성과 관련된 유전자들의 분자적인 특징을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이전 연구에서 보고된 24개의 유전자(AR, BDNF, DAT, DBH, DGCR2, DRD4, MAOA, MAOB, SLC6A4, TH, TPH2, IFT88, KCNA3, TBR2, TRKB, ACE, GNB1, MSTN, PLCL1, SLC25A22, WFIKKN2, APOE, GRIN2B, PIK3CG)를 선택하여 품성, 후각, 운동 및 학습능력 관련 유전자, 네 가지 카테고리로 분류하였다. 본 연구에서는 생물학적인 기법을 이용하여 이 유전자들의 염색체상의 위치, 유전자들 간의 네트워크를 통한 상호관계를 조사하였으며, 어떤 생물학적 기능과 관련이 있는지 Gene Ontology 분석과 데이터베이스를 기반으로 in silico 발현 양상을 살펴보았다. 또한 이전 연구를 통하여 품성 관련 유전자들의 다양한 유전적 다형성에 대한 보고를 조사하였다. 본 연구는 특수견으로서 주요하게 고려되는 개의 고유한 능력 및 품성 관련된 유전자에 대해 분자적 특징을 제시하고 있다. 이 후보 유전자들은 개의 특수한 표현형과의 관계를 밝힐 수 있는 연구의 기초자료로서 이용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 핵심적인 유전인자로 응용되어 신속하고 정확한 특수견 선발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. Working dogs, such as rescue dogs, military watch dogs, guide dogs, and search dogs, are selected by in-training examination of desired traits, including concentration, possessiveness, and boldness. In recent years, genetic information has been considered to be an important factor for the outstanding abilities of working dogs. To characterize the molecular features of the canine genes related to phenotypes for working dogs, we investigated the 24 previously reported genes (AR, BDNF, DAT, DBH, DGCR2, DRD4, MAOA, MAOB, SLC6A4, TH, TPH2, IFT88, KCNA3, TBR2, TRKB, ACE, GNB1, MSTN, PLCL1, SLC25A22, WFIKKN2, APOE, GRIN2B, and PIK3CG) that were categorized to personality, olfactory sense, and athletic/learning ability. We analyzed the chromosomal location, gene-gene interactions, Gene Ontology, and expression patterns of these genes using bioinformatic tools. In addition, variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) or microsatellite (MS) polymorphism in the AR, MAOA, MAOB, TH, DAT, DBH, and DRD4 genes were reviewed. Taken together, we suggest that the genetic background of the canine genes associated with various working dog behaviors and skill performance attributes could be used for proper selection of superior working dogs.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of plasma leptin and insulin concentrations on fat traits in Hanwoo. If a biological indicator such as plasma leptin and insulin was identified, it would be a useful biological marker that can be predicted marbling score in young animal. The relationship between plasma hormone (leptin and insulin) and fat traits (marbling score, back fat thickness and P8 fat thickness) was investigated. The experiment studies 100 Hanwoo that were randomly sampled from Hanwoo Experimental Station Herd. The concentration of plasma insulin was significantly associated with marbling score (P=0.02) but was not significantly with back fat thickness (P=0.07) and P8 fat thickness (P=0.09). Statistical model determinant that plasma insulin concentration account for phenotypes was moderate on marbling score (5%), back fat thickness (3%) and P8 fat thickness (9%). On the other hand, plasma leptin concentration was significantly associated with marbling score (P=0.03) and back fat thickness (P=0.02), but was not significant on P8 fat thickness (0.07). Statistical model determinant that plasma leptin concentration accounting for phenotypes was moderate effect on marbling score (3%) and back fat thickness (2%), but it has a slightly bigger effect on P8 fat thickness (7%). In conclusion, the plasma leptin and insulin seems to have an effect on fat traits (marbling score, backfat thickness and P8 fat thickness) in Hanwoo.

Bropirimine, a class of antineoplastic agents, is known as one of the potent immunomodulators and is currently under clinical development for the treatment of cancer. However, the effect of bropirimine on the cow remains unknown as a therapeutics agent. In this experiment, the effect of bropirimine in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or concanavalin-A (Con-A) was examined. Jugular venous blood was collected from Korean Hanwoo calves and PBMCs were isolated. It was used to study the effect of bropirimine upon stimulation with LPS or Con-A for 72 hours. The expression pro-inflammatory cytokines like Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α) and Interferon γ (IFN-γ) were confirmed. Bropirimine significantly inhibited LPS- or Con-A-induced TNF-α and Con-A-induced IFN-γ in dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, Bropirimine inhibited TNF-α and Con-A mRNA expression at the transcription level. These results clearly indicated that bropirimine inhibited LPS or Con-A stimulated up-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner without conspicuous cytotoxicity. The bropirimine has potential to protect cow from LPS or Con-A induced endotoxin shock, possibly through inhibition of the production of proinflammatory cytokines. It suggesting that bropirimine may be a novel therapeutic agent for the prevention of inflammatory diseases. This result revealed specific features of the immune responses depending on the bropirimine compound and would help to knowledge of bovine immunity.
