Abstract
Excessive abdominal fat deposition in chickens disadvantages feed conversion, meat production, and reproductive performance. Intramuscular fat contributes to meat texture, tenderness, and flavor, serving as a vital indicator of overall meat quality. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory mechanisms governing differential deposition of abdominal versus intramuscular fat is essential in breeding higher-quality chickens with ideal fat distribution. This review systematically summarizes the regulatory mechanisms underlying intramuscular and abdominal fat traits at chromatin, genomic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and epigenetic-modification scales. Additionally, we summarize the role of non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes in governing intramuscular and abdominal fat deposition. These insights provide a valuable theoretical foundation for the genetic engineering of high-quality and high-yielding chicken breeds.

Gao Y, Sun YY, Bai D, Wu XX. Mechanism of the components compatibility of Scutellariae Radix and Coptidis Rhizoma on mice with hyperlipidemia by regulating the Cyp4a family. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 331:118263. [PMID: 38677575 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (Scutellariae Radix, SR) and Coptis chinensis Franch (Coptidis Rhizoma, CR) is a classic herbal pair used in many Traditional Chinese Medicine formulations in the treatment of hyperlipidemia (HLP). As effective ingredients of the drug pair, the effects and mechanisms of berberine and baicalin in the treatment of HLP in the form of components compatibility are still unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the mechanism of the components compatibility of SR and CR in the treatment of HLP. MATERIALS AND METHODS The HLP model was established by a high-fat diet. Serum biochemical indexes were detected. Transcriptomics and metabolomics were detected. RT-PCR and Western Blot were used to analyze the effect of RA on the expression of the Cyp4a family during the treatment of HLP. RESULTS Berberine-baicalin (RA) has a good effect in the treatment of HLP. RA can significantly reduce the body weight and liver weight of HLP, reduce the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and increase the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C). Through transcriptomic analysis, RA significantly reversed the gene expression of Cyp4a10, Cyp4a12 b, Cyp4a31, and Cyp4a32 in cytochrome P450 family 4 subfamily a (Cyp4a) which related to fatty acid degradation in the liver of HLP mice. The results of fatty acid detection showed that RA could significantly regulate heptanoic acid, EPA, adrenic acid, DH-γ-linolenic acid, and DPA in the cecum of HLP mice. The Cyp4a family genes regulated by RA are closely related to a variety of fatty acids regulated by RA. RT-PCR confirmed that RA could regulate Cyp4a mRNA expression in HLP mice. WB also showed that RA can regulate the protein expression level of Cyp4a. CONCLUSION The components compatibility of SR and CR can effectively improve the blood lipid level of HLP mice, its mechanism may be related to regulating Cyp4a gene expression and affecting fatty acid degradation, regulating the level of fatty acid metabolism in the body.
