摘要:

为挖掘与新疆山羊繁殖性状相关的差异表达基因,筛选出与山羊繁殖相关的关键基因。本研究运用转录组测序分析法,比较新疆山羊不同繁殖力卵泡期和黄体期的下丘脑组织的转录组,筛选卵泡期和黄体期高、低繁殖力新疆山羊下丘脑与繁殖相关的关键基因。在卵泡期下丘脑差异表达分析中,XJLSX vs XJLDX组(卵泡期高繁殖力母羊vs卵泡期低繁殖力母羊)共筛选出680个差异表达基因,其中210个差异基因上调,470个下调,对差异表达基因进行GO和KEGG功能分析,发现了9个GO Term包含16个差异基因和8条KEGG通路包含23个差异基因与山羊繁殖性状相关,结合差异基因蛋白质互作网络分析及相关文献,共筛选出6个差异基因NPR1KITLGGABRAICRHR2ADCYAP1IGF2BP3,可能是影响新疆山羊繁殖性状的关键基因。在黄体期下丘脑差异表达分析中,XJHSX vs XJHDX组(黄体期高繁殖力母羊vs黄体期低繁殖力母羊)共筛选出656个差异表达基因,其中178个差异基因上调,478个差异基因下调,对差异表达基因进行GO和KEGG功能分析发现了7个GO Term包含9个差异基因与卵母细胞生长和分化、卵泡发育以及生殖激素相关,6条KEGG信号通路包含10个差异基因与山羊繁殖性状相关,结合差异基因蛋白质互作网络分析及相关文献,共筛选出5个差异基因WT1IGF1ESR1NR5A1MET,可能是影响新疆山羊繁殖性状的关键基因。本研究筛选出与山羊繁殖相关关键基因,这为培育新疆山羊高繁多胎新品系提供理论基础和分子标记。

Abstract:

The study aims to explore differentially expressed genes related to reproductive traits in Xinjiang goats and screen out key genes associated with goat reproduction. In this study, transcriptome sequencing analysis was used to compare the transcriptomes of hypothalamic tissues between Xinjiang goats with different fecundity during the follicular phase and luteal phase, aiming to screen key reproduction-related genes in the hypothalamus of Xinjiang goats with high and low fecundity during these two phases. In the differential expression analysis of the hypothalamus during the follicular phase, a total of 680 differentially expressed genes were identified in the XJLSX vs XJLDX group (high-fecundity ewes vs low-fecundity ewes in the follicular phase), among which 210 were up-regulated and 470 were down-regulated. GO and KEGG functional analyses of these differentially expressed genes revealed 9 GO Terms containing 16 differentially expressed genes and 8 KEGG pathways containing 23 differentially expressed genes that were related to goat reproductive traits. Combined with protein-protein interaction network analysis of differentially expressed genes and relevant literature, 6 differentially expressed genes, namely NPR1, KITLG, GABRAI, CRHR2, ADCYAP1, IGF2BP3, were screened out as potential key genes affecting the reproductive traits of Xinjiang goats. In the differential expression analysis of the hypothalamus during the luteal phase, a total of 656 differentially expressed genes were found in the XJHSX vs XJHDX group (high-fecundity ewes vs low-fecundity ewes in the luteal phase), with 178 up-regulated and 478 down-regulated. GO and KEGG functional analyses showed that 7 GO Terms, involving 9 differentially expressed genes, were associated with oocyte growth and differentiation, follicular development, and reproductive hormones; 6 KEGG signaling pathways, containing 10 differentially expressed genes, were related to goat reproductive traits. Through integration with protein-protein interaction network analysis and literature review, 5 differentially expressed genes (WT1, IGF1, ESR1, NR5A1, MET) were identified as potential key genes influencing the reproductive traits of Xinjiang goats. This study screened out key genes related to goat reproduction, which provided a theoretical basis and molecular markers for breeding new high-fecundity and multi-fetal strains of Xinjiang goats.
