Expressão gênica e protéica de isoformas de cadeia pesada de miosina e maciez da carne de bovinos de diferentes grupos genéticos

Abstract

Sabendo que o processo de transformação do músculo em carne no estágio postmortem é largamente governado pela proporção de distintos tipos de fibras, e tendo em vista a necessidade de suprir as demandas do setor da pecuária bem como as exigências do consumidor por um produto de maior qualidade, inclusive da carne, o presente projeto objetivou relacionar a maciez da carne do músculo Longissimus dorsi (LD) com a expressão gênica e protéica das isoformas da cadeia pesada da miosina (MHC) em dois grupos genéticos de bovinos. Foram analisados 28 bovinos jovens de dois grupos genéticos, 14 Nelores e 14 Canchins. Os animais receberam a mesma dieta, o mesmo manejo no mesmo ambiente, com a finalidade de mantê-los no mesmo estado fisiológico. Atingindo o tempo pré-estabelecido de confinamento de 140 dias, os animais foram abatidos e amostras do músculo LD foram coletadas para análise da maciez da carne e também para a quantificação das expressões gênicas e protéicas das isoformas de MHC através das técnicas de RT-qPCR e de separação eletroforética (SDS-PAGE) respectivamente. O grupo Canchim apresentou maior maciez da carne em relação ao grupo Nelore em ambas as metodologias utilizadas, força de cisalhamento e índice de fragmentação miofibrilar, bem como uma menor expressão gênica da isoforma de MHC 2X. Foi verificada uma correlação negativa da expressão das isoformas 2A e 2X e uma correlação positiva da expressão da isoforma de MHC Slow com a maciez da carne nos dois grupos genéticos. Os resultados sugerem que a menor maciez da carne do grupo Nelore em relação ao grupo Canchim possa estar relacionada com a maior expressão gênica da isoforma de MHC 2X no grupo Nelore

Knowing that the meat tenderness process that turns muscle in meat on postmortem are largely governed by the proportion of different fiber types, and in view of the need to supply the needs of livestock industry and consumer demands for a higher quality product, including meat, this project aimed to relate meat tenderness of Longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) with gene and protein expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms in two genetic groups of cattle. Twenty-eight steers of two genetic groups, 14 Nellores and 14 Canchins were used. The animals received the same feed, the same management in the same environment, in order to keep them in the same physiological state. After 140 days of feedlot, the animals were slaughtered and LD muscle samples were collected for meat tenderness analysis and also for gene and protein expression quantification of MHC isoforms using RT-qPCR and electrophoretic separation (SDS-PAGE) technique, respectively. The Canchim group had better meat tenderness in relation to Nellore group in both methodologies used, shear force and myofibrillar fragmentation index and lower MHC 2X isoform gene expression. It was observed a negative correlation between 2A and 2X isoforms expression and a positive correlation of MHC Slow isoform expression to meat tenderness in the two genetic groups. The results suggest that lower meat tenderness of Nellore group in relation to Canchim group may be related to higher gene expression of MHC 2X isoform in Nellore group
