  • Purpose: We sought to determine associations of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), known markers of renal injury, with hematuria in children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 112 urine samples from 72 patients aged 2 to 18 years with hematuria were enrolled in this study. Urinary concentrations of NGAL and L-FABP were measured by ELISA and compared between subjects with and without proteinuria and between subjects with and without glomerulonephritis diagnosed by renal biopsy. Results: Urinary concentrations of NGAL and L-FABP/creatinine (Cr) in subjects with proteinuria were not significantly different from those in subjects without proteinuria. They were not significant different between subjects with and without glomerulonephritis either. However, both concentrations of urinary NGAL and L-FABP/Cr were positively associated with urinary protein to creatinine ratio. Their levels had a tendency to be increased when proteinuria developed at later visits in subjects with hematuria only at initial visits. Conclusion: Monitoring urinary NGAL and L-FABP levels in addition to conventional risk factors such as proteinuria and serum creatinine might improve the prediction of renal injury in pediatric patients with hematuria.

  • Using multi-trait animal model BLUP, selection was conducted over seven generations for growth rate (DG), real-time ultrasound loin-eye muscle area (LEA), backfat thickness (BF), and intramuscular fat content (IMF) to develop a new line of purebred Duroc pigs with enhanced meat production and meat quality. This study was intended to investigate the relationship between restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of a heart fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) gene and intramuscular fat content (IMF) of this Duroc purebred population. The present experiment examined the RFLP of 499 slaughtered pigs. The DNA was separated from the blood or ear tissue of the pigs, which were slaughtered at 105 kg of body weight. Intramuscular fat content of the longissimus muscle was measured using chemical analysis. A significant difference was detected in the breeding value of IMF among the H-FABP PCR RFLP genotypes. The AA genotype has a significantly larger positive effect on the IMF breeding value than do the Aa and aa genotypes for the MspI RFLP. In addition, the DD genotype has a significantly greater positive effect on IMF breeding value than the Dd and dd genotypes for the HaeIII RFLP. For the HinfI RFLP, the hh genotype has a significantly larger positive effect on IMF breeding value than the HH genotype. Multiple regression analysis was performed using the IMF breeding values as the dependent variable and the three H-FABP genotypes as independent variables. Results revealed that the contribution of the genotypes to variation in IMF breeding values was approximately 40%. These results demonstrated that H-FABP RFLPs affect IMF in this Duroc population.

  • This study aims to determine the polymorphism and mRNA expression pattern of the heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) gene and their association with intramuscular fat (IMF) content in the breast and leg muscles of Baicheng oil chicken (BOC). A total of 720 chickens, including 240 black Baicheng oil chicken (BBOC), 240 silky Baicheng oil chicken (SBOC), and 240 white Baicheng oil chicken (WBOC) were raised. Three genotypes of H-FABP gene second extron following AA, AB, and BB were detected by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) strategy. The G939A site created AA genotype and G956A site created BB genotype. The content of IMF in AA genotype in breast muscle of BBOC was significantly higher than that of AB (p = 0.0176) and the genotype in leg muscle of WBOC was significantly higher than that of AB (p = 0.0145). The G939A site could be taken as genetic marker for higher IMF content selecting for breast muscle of BBOC and leg muscle of WBOC. The relative mRNA expression of H-FABP was measured by real-time PCR at 30, 60, 90, and 120 d. The IMF content significantly increased with age in both muscles. The mRNA expression level of H-FABP significantly decreased with age in both muscles of the three types of chickens. Moreover, a significant negative correlation between H-FABP abundance and IMF content in the leg muscles of WBOC (p = 0.035) was observed. The mRNA expression of H-FABP negatively correlated with the IMF content in both breast and leg muscles of BOC sat slaughter time.

  • 제주재래흑돼지와 Landrace의 상호교차교배를 통하여 생산된 F2 집단에 대해 총 4개의 유전자(ADCYAP1R1, FABP3, MC4R, MYL2)에서 5 좌위의 단일염기변이의 다형성을 조사하고, 성장형질들과 통계적 연관성을 분석하였다. 조사된 5종의 SNP 좌위에서 모두 다형성이 관찰되었으나, FABP3 g.-158T>C 염기치환에 대한 유전자형 중 T/T 동형접합자는 제주재래흑돼지에서는 발견되지 않았고, Landrace에서는 ADCYAP1R1의 intron 2 337 G/G 동형접합자가 발견되지 않았다. ADCYAP1R1 유전자형은 3주령체중, 20주령체중, FABP3 유전자의 g.-135delT에 대한 유전자형은 후기일당증체량에 고도의 유의차를 보였고(P<0.01), g.-158T>G 유전자형은 성장초기단계의 체중, 20주령체중, 후기일당증체량에 대해 고도의 유의차를 나타내었다(P<0.01). MC4R은 초기일당증체량의 차이에 의해 10주령체중의 유의차를 보였고(P<0.05), 후기일당증체량과도 고도의 유의차를 나타내었다(P<0.01). F2의 체장은 ADCYAP1R1, MC4R, MYL2 유전자형에 대한 통계적 유의차를 나타내었으나(P< 0.05), 이중 MC4R의 유전자형에 따른 체장의 차이가 가장 큰 폭으로 확인되었다. 본 연구의 결과들은 제주재래흑돼지와 관련된 다원교잡체계를 이용한 양돈산업에서 성장형질의 생산성 향상을 위한 제주재래흑돼지 종모돈의 선발이나, 제주재래흑돼지 품종 자체의 품종개량을 위한 분자육종체계 구축에서 유용한 기초자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • 지방합성이 왕성하게 진행되는 비육후기의 근육내 지방합성에 있어서, 지방산 및 당의 이용경로 및 이에 따른 근육내 지방합성과정을 규명하기 위해서 지방산 및 당 운반 유전자인 FABP4, GLUT4와 근육내 지방대사 주요유전자인 ACL, ACC, LPL 및 SCD 유전자의 mRNA 발현양상을 분석하였다. 한우 비육전기 및 후기 각 3두를 공시하여 total RNA 추출 및 1st cDNA 합성하여 SYBR green을 이용하여 real-time PCR 분석을 각 유전자별로 3반복씩 수행하였다. FABP4 유전자는 비육전기에 비해 비육후기에 있어서, 3배 이상 유전자 발현이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었고, GLUT4 유전자는 비육전기 및 비육후기에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 근육내 지방합성 주요유전자인 ACL, ACC, LPL 및 SCD 유전자의 발현량은 비육후기에서 ACL 유전자가 3.8배, ACC 유전자는 2.7배, LPL 유전자는 3.5배, 그리고 SCD 유전자는 7.5배 발현량이 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 한우의 비육후기에서 근육내 지방합성은 FABP4에 의한 지방산 유입의 증가와 더불어 ACL 유전자에 의해서 지방산 합성의 중간대사물인 acetyl-CoA가 합성되고, 이 중간 대사물을 이용하여 ACC 및 SCD 유전자에 의해서 긴 사슬 지방산 합성이 왕성하게 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

  • 가축의 경제적인 특성은 환경적인 요인과 유전적인 요인의 영향을 복합적으로 받는다. 우리는 한우의 경제적 특성에 영향을 미치는 유전적인 요인에 관심이 있으며, 우리의 목적은 경제형질에서 환경적인 요인을 보정하여 유전효과를 더욱 정확하게 검증하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 환경적인 요인과 유전적인 요인으로 구성된 통계모형을 구축하고, 이 모형에서 환경적인 요인인 사육농가의 효과와 도축일령의 효과를 제거하여 보정된 경제형질값을 구한다. 그리고 보정 전 후 경제형질값을 다중인자차원축소 방법에 적용하여 각각의 우수 유전자와 유전자조합을 선별하고, 정확도를 비교한다. 그 결과, 우리는 환경요인을 보정한 경제형질값을 활용하여 우수 유전자 선별의 정확도를 높였고, 한우의 등급과 지방산과 깊은 연관이 있는 우수한 FABP4 유전자를 선별하였다.

  • Heart fatty acid-binding protein gene (H-FABP) is an important candidate gene for meat quality. One of the objectives of this study was to screen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of chicken H-FABP gene among 252 individuals that included 4 Chinese domestic chicken breeds (Fengkai Xinghua (T04), Huiyang Huxu (H), Qingyuan Ma (Q), Guangxi Xiayan (S1)), 2 breeds developed by the Institute of Animal Science, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences (Lingnan Huang (DC), dwarf chicken (E4)) and one introduced broiler (Abor Acre (AA)). Another objective of this study was to analyze the associations between polymorphisms of the H-FABP gene and fat deposition traits in chickens. PCR-SSCP was used to analyze SNPs in H-FABP and 4 SNPs (T260C, G675A, C783T and G2778A) were detected. Associations between polymorphic loci and intramuscular fat (IMF), abdominal fat weight (AFW) and abdominal fat percentage (AFP) were analyzed by ANCOVA method. The results showed that the T260C genotypes were significantly associated with IMF (p = 0.0233) and AFP (p = 0.0001); the G675A genotypes were significantly associated with AFW, AFP (p<0.01) and IMF (p<0.05); at the C783T locus, AFW and AFP differed highly between genotypes. However, the G2778A loci did not show any significant effect on fat deposition traits in this study. In addition, we found that there were some differences between AFP and definite haplotypes through a nonparametric statistical method, so the haplotypes based on the SNPs except G2778A loci were also significantly associated with IMF, AFW (g) (p<0.05) and AFP (%) (p<0.001). Significantly and suggestively dominant effects of H4H4 haplotype were observed for IMF and the H2H3 was dominant for AFW (g) and AFP (%). The results also revealed that H5H7 haplotype had a negative effect on IMF, while the H5H6 had a positive effect on AFW (g) and AFP (%).

  • 인간의 질병 또는 가축의 경제적인 특성은 단일 유전자보다는 여러 유전자들의 상호작용에 의한 영향을 많이 받는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 유전자들의 상호작용을 규명하기 위해 기존에 사용되었던 방법들의 단점을 보완한 에스엔피 하비스트 방법을 이용하였다. 사용된 유전자는 최근 한우의 육질에 영향을 미치는 지방산 조성과 깊은 연관이 있다고 밝혀진 단일염기다형성 중 SREBPs (g.3270+10274 C>T, g.13544 T>C)와 FABP4 (g.2634+1018 A>T, g.2988 A>G, g.3690 G>A, g.3710 G>C, g.3977-325 T>C, g.4221 A>G)이며, 경제형질은 한우의 맛과 향에 영향을 주는 올레인산, 불포화지방산, 근내지방도를 이용하였다. 먼저 에스엔피 하비스트 방법을 이용하여 경제형질에 영향을 주는 우수 유전자 조합을 찾은 뒤 다중인자차원축소방법을 이용하여 단일염기다형성 조합 내의 우수 유전자형도 함께 규명하였다.

  • 한우에서의 도체형질은 경제적으로 가장 중요한 형질이다. 최근 유전체학의 발달로 인해 DNA 표지인자 이용하여 소의 도체 및 육질형질을 규명하고 선발하는 방법이 주목 받고 있다. 본 연구는 한우의 도체형질 관련 분자표지의 현장 검증에 의한 유전적 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행하였다. TG g.371T>C, APM1 g.1454G>A, FABP4 g.2834C>G, FABP4 g.3533T>A, FABP4 g.3691G>A, SCD g.10153A>G, SCD g.10329T>C, CPE g.601T>C, EDG1 g.166A>G, NPY g.4271T>C, GPD1 g.2766C>T, PDE1B g.17122A>G, PDE1B g.17507A>C, TNNT1 g.6650C>T 및 RORC g.20152A>G 등 총 15개의 도체형질 관련 분자표지들에 대해 대규모 상업축 한우 집단(총 1,536두)을 대상으로 SNP 유전자형 분석을 수행하고, 분자표지와 도체형질과의 연관성을 조사하였다. PCR-RFLP 분석을 통해 SNP 유전자형과 도체형질과의 연관성을 분석한 결과 APM1 g.1454G>, FABP4 g.3691G>A, SCD g.10153A>G, CPE g.601T>C, PDE1B g.17122A>G, TNNT1 g.6650C>T 및 RORC g.20152A>G 등 총 7개의 SNP가 한우의 도체형질 가운데 근내지방도, 등지방두께, 배최장근단면적, 도체중, 육질등급, 육색 및 성숙도 등과 유의적으로 연관되어 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 이들 SNP가 육질이 우수한 한우 선발을 위한 분자표지로 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Background: Information regarding prognostic value of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum levels of GDF-15 and H-FABP predict an adverse outcome for COPD exacerbation. Methods: Clinical variables, including serum GDF-15 and H-FABP levels were compared in prospectively enrolled patients with COPD exacerbation that did or did not experience an adverse outcome. An adverse outcome included 30-day mortality and need for endotracheal intubation or inotropic support. Results: Ninety-seven patients were included and allocated into an adverse outcome (n=10) or a control (n=87) group. Frequencies of mental change and $PaCO_2$>37 mm Hg were significantly higher in the adverse outcome group (mental change: 30% vs. 6%, p=0.034 and $PaCO_2$>37 mm Hg: 80% vs. 22%, p<0.001, respectively). Serum GDF-15 elevation (>1,600 pg/mL) was more common in the adverse outcome group (80% vs. 43%, p=0.041). However, serum H-FABP level and frequency of serum H-FABP elevation (>755 pg/mL) did not differ between the two groups. Multivariate analysis showed that an elevated serum GDF-15 and $PaCO_2$>37 mm Hg were significant predictors of an adverse outcome (odds ratio [OR], 25.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.7-243.8; p=0.005 and OR, 11.8; 95% CI, 1.2-115.3; p=0.034, respectively). Conclusion: Elevated serum GDF-15 level and $PaCO_2$>37 mm Hg were found to predict an adverse outcome independently in patients with COPD exacerbation, suggesting the possibility that serum GDF-15 could be used as a prognostic biomarker of COPD exacerbation.
