Integrated multi-omics analysis reveals variation in intramuscular fat among muscle locations of Qinchuan cattle
BACKGROUND: Intramuscular fat (IMF) is closely related to the tenderness, marbling, juiciness, and flavor of meat. We used a combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation among Qinchuan cattle. RESULTS: The IMF content was rela...

description | BACKGROUND: Intramuscular fat (IMF) is closely related to the tenderness, marbling, juiciness, and flavor of meat. We used a combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation among Qinchuan cattle. RESULTS: The IMF content was relatively high in the meat of Qinchuan cattle bulls and differed among muscle locations, namely the high rib (15.86%), ribeye (14%), striploin (10.44%), and tenderloin (8.67%). CCDC80 and the HOX gene cluster may regulate intramuscular adipose tissue deposition. Moreover, erucic acid (EA) was found to be the main metabolite in Qinchuan beef cattle, with a high concentration in IMF. The deposition of IMF could be regulated by the metabolic pathway for unsaturated fatty acids involving EA and the ACOX3, HACD2, and SCD5 genes. In addition, differentially expressed genes and metabolites were enriched in three major KEGG pathways: purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and the metabolism of glycine, serine, and threonine. CONCLUSIONS: We identified a significant metabolite, EA, with variation in IMF. Its closely related genes, ACOX3, HACD2, and SCD5, co-regulate the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids, ultimately affecting the accumulation of intramuscular adipose tissue in Qinchuan cattle. Consequently, Qinchuan cattle are an elite cultivar for high-quality beef production and have great potential for breeding.
