note = {Meat quality has received more and more customer's attention. Muscle growth rate is closely related with the efficiency of pig production. Meat quality and muscle growth are two important issues in pig production. The present work identified a potential candidate gene, SOX-6, for pig breeding and investigated the effect of sulforaphane on muscle growth.
The genetic work identified a candidate gene, SOX-6, for porcine growth, carcass and meat quality traits. In this work, we investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and expression of the candidate gene SOX-6, which is selected based on our previous work. The first SNP from porcine SOX-6, rs81358375, was found to be associated with pH 45 min post mortem (p.m.) in loin (pH1L), the thickness of backfat and side fat and carcass length in a Pietrain population and was related with backfat thickness and daily gain in a Duroc × Pietrain (DuPi) F2 population. The other SNP of porcine SOX-6, rs321666676, was related with meat colour in the Pietrain population. In the DuPi population, the SOX-6 mRNA expression is not significant different in the divergent pH1L pigs. However, the protein expression of SOX-6 in pigs with high pH1L was significantly less abundant compared with low pH1L pigs. Based on these results, SOX-6 shows to be a promising candidate for porcine growth, carcass and meat quality traits.
In the epigenetic work, we investigated effects of sulforaphane (SFN) on porcine satellite cells. Our previous study has found SFN treatment inhibited the expression of myostatin in porcine satellite cells. In line with this previous study, we found that SFN enhanced the proliferation of the porcine satellite cells and modulated the expression of myogenic regulatory factors. SFN treatment changed the expression of HDAC members and supressed their activity. The activity of TGF-β signalling was depressed by SFN, which also up-regulated the expression of Smad7, an endogenous suppressor of TGF-β signalling. Furthermore, we found that SFN increased transcription factors of Smad7 and decreased microRNAs targeting Smad7. In summary, our studies found the positive effects of SFN on the proliferation of porcine satellite cells and revealed the underlying mechanisms. This supports that SFN may serve as a nutritional supplement to increase the muscle growth.},
