Estudo de genes relacionados ao metabolismo de lipídeos como candidatos à precocidade sexual em bovinos da raça Nelore

Abstract

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido a fim de detectar associações entre polimorfismos conhecidos nos genes relacionados com o tecido adiposo e a precocidade sexual em bovinos da raça Nelore. Foram analisadas 1.085 novilhas precoces e não precoces provenientes de fazendas participantes do programa de melhoramento genética da Conexão Delta G. Foram utilizados SNPs do painel de 777.000 SNPs do High Density Bovine SNP BeadChip, localizados dentro da região dos genes candidatos e com uma distância de até 5 Kb, pois sabe-se que com essa distância há desequilíbrio de ligação (LD). Apenas 445 novilhas, precoces e não precoces, foram genotipadas, nas outras 640 foi utilizado o número médio de cópias de cada alelo na população genotipada. Para a análise estatística foram utilizados modelos lineares. Os programas fastPHASE e GenomeStudio foram utilizados para a reconstrução dos haplótipos e análise do LD a partir da estatística r². Foram analisados 54 genes candidatos e um total de 443 SNPs, dentre esses 370 eram formadores de 83 haplótipos e o restante dos SNPs foram estudados isoladamente. As análises estatísticas revelaram que apenas dois haplótipos formados por dois e quatro SNPs localizados no gene FABP4 e PPP3CA e um SNP isolado no gene PPP3CA, tiveram efeito significativo ao nível de p<0,05 para a precocidade sexual. Com isso, pode-se concluir que os genes FABP4 e PPP3CA influenciam a precocidade sexual e, podem desse modo serem considerados em programas de seleção que visem melhorias na precocidade sexual de animais da raça Nelore

The aim of this study was to evaluate possible associations between known polymorphisms in genes related to adipose tissue and sexual precocity in Nellore cattle. 1,085 precocious and non-precocious heifers belonging to Delta G Connection (Conexão Delta G) breeding program were analyzed. A subset of SNPs from the panel of High Density Bovine SNP BeadChip of 777,000 SNPs was evaluated. This subset of SNPs is located within a region of candidate genes with a distance up to 5 Kb, since it is considered that in this distance there is linkage disequilibrium (LD). Only 445 precocious and non-precocious heifers were genotyped, for the remained 640, the average number of copies of each allele from the genotyped population, was used. The statistical evaluation was made by linear models. To analyze the reconstruction of haplotypes and LD presence, the fastPHASE and GenomeStudio softwares were used, using r2 procedure. In total, 54 candidate genes and 443 SNPs were analyzed. Among these SNPs, 370 formed 83 haplotypes while the remained SNPs were studied separately. The statistical analyses revealed that only two sets of haplotypes, formed by two and four SNPs located on FABP4 and PPP3CA, and one isolated SNP on PPP3CA gene, had significant effect (p<0.05) for the sexual precocity trait. These results indicate that FABP4 and PPP3CA genes have an influence on sexual precocity of the animals and should be considered in selection breeding programs in Nellore cattle to evaluate this trait
