지방산 결합 단백질(FABP)은 LCFA 수송, 지질 합성, 저장을 용이하게 하고, 염증을 포함한 다양한 경로에 영향을 미치는 신호 분자로 작용한다. 특히 FABP4는 혈관 및 심장관련 질환과 관련이 있으며, 대식세포 매개 염증 반응에서 역할을 한다. 이전의 연구들은 FABP4를 지방 생성을 위한 대표적인 바이오 마커일 뿐만 아니라, 면역 반응과도 상관관계가 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 본 연구는 톨-유사 수용체 3(TLR3) 활성화에 의한 닭 FABP4(chFABP4) 유전자의조절을 조사하고 chFABP4 전사 조절에 관여하는 신호 경로를 결정하는 것을 목표로 한다. 우리는 TLR3 자극 DF-1 세포에서 chFABP4의 전사 조절을 분석하였다. 결과는 TLR3 리간드인 폴리이노신-폴리시티딜산(PIC)으로 자극 시 chFABP4가 상향 조절되었음을 보여주었다. 특히 chFABP4 전사는 NF-κB 신호 경로에서 독립적으로 조절되었다. p38 억제에서 상향 조절되어 p38 신호 경로가 TLR3 활성화 DF-1 세포 내에서 chFABP4 전사를 억제할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 이와는 대조적으로, JNK 신호 경로 억제에서는 chFABP4 발현이 하향 조절되었으며, 이는 대식세포의 연구 결과와 일치하며, TLR3 활성화에 반응하여 DF-1 세포에서 chFABP4 전사를 위한 JNK 신호 전달 경로의 긍정적인 조절을 시사한다. MEK 경로 억제는 NF-κB 신호 전달과 유사한 조절을 초래하였다. 이러한 결과는 각 MAPK가 TLR3 활성화에 반응하여 DF-1 세포에서 chFABP4의 전사 조절에 차별적으로 기여함을 시사한다.

There is limited information of the genetic effect for fatty acid composition in chicken meat. This study assessed the association of FABP3 and FABP4 genes affecting fatty acid composition in broilers. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected in FABP3 gene and five SNPs were identified in FABP4 gene. The SNPs located in intron 1 and exon 1 of FABP3 and FABP4, respectively, were used for genotyping using PCR-RFLP method. The SNPg.285C >T in FABP4 showed suggestive association with high arachidonic acid (C20 : 4) in CT genotypes (P = 0.068). However, the SNP g.508C > T in FABP3 showed no significant associations with fatty acid composition. These results are the first report to investigate the SNPs in FABP3 and FABP4 genes and their associations with fatty acid composition, although we only found the possible association of FABP4 SNP with fatty acid composition. These results should provide valuable information for further investigation of the genes affecting fatty acid composition in chicken.

The bovine fatty acid binding protein 4 and 5 (FABP4 and 5) is a major positional and physiological candidate gene for the bovine marbling and carcass weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between economic traits of Korean cattle (Hanwoo) and genetic variation in fatty acid binding protein 4 and 5 (FABP4 and 5) genes within carcass/meat quality traits and the before/after of fatting in breed Hanwoo. Here, we characterized the nucleotide polymorphism of FABP4 and 5 in 86 cattle. We were detected the variability of three types (GG, AG, and AA) by PCR, and economic traits were analyzed by the mixed regression model implemented in the ASReml program. As the result of statistical and supersonic analysis, FABP4 gene was highly showed significant effect (p<0.006) on marbling score (MS), in contrast FABP5 gene was lowed (p<0.084) on MS before fatting. But, FABP4 gene was highly showed significant effect (p<0.0054) on MS, in contrast FABP5 gene lowest (p<0.0899) on MS in the after of fatting. Compare to supersonic result before fatting in FABP4 gene, it was detected type GG: (p<7.18), AG: (p<8.50), and AA: (p<10.50) (n=50), showed type GG: (p<4.88), AG: (p<2.33), and AA: (p<0.00) after weed out (n=20). Futhermore, it was detected type GG: (p<9.30), AG: (p<7.95), and AA: (p<7.40) (n=50) before fatting in the FABP5 gene. It was shown type GG: (p<2.67), AG: (p<3.50), and AA: (p<5.00) after weed out (n=50). Our results indicate that FABP4 and 5 gene transcription is regulated by the environment of feeding and management, and suggest that feeding and management could be potential key in determining FABP4 and 5 genes transcription for carcass/meat quality traits in breed Hanwoo.

본 연구는 돼지 4번 염색체에서 FAT1 좌위의 후보유전자인 Adipocyte Fatty-Acid 결합단백질 (FABP4) 유전자에서 8개의 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs)를 발견하였다. Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire, Yorkshire를 기초 축으로 이용한 800두에 대해 FABP4 유전자의 단일염기 분석과 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 그 다형성을 조사하고 돼지의 일당증체량, 등지방두께, 사료요구율, 정육율과 그 유전자형간의 연관성을 규명하고자 실시하였다. FABP4 유전자에 대해 각 단일염기에 관한 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 $400{\sim}800\;bp$ 산물을 증폭한 후 각각의 제한효소로 사용하여, 얻어진 FABP4 유전자의 빈도는 품종별로 다르게 나타났다. 통계적 분석을 통하여 각 유전자형에 대한 경제 형 질과 연관성을 분석한 결과 일당증체량, 등지방두께, 정육율, 사료요구량은 다른 유전자형을 가진 개체들이 유의적으로 우수한 능력을 보였다 (P<0.05). FABP4유전자는 일당증체량, 정육율, 등지방두께에 높은 연관성이 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 돼지의 성장과 정육율에 관련된 선발력을 높이기 위해서 FABP4 유전자의 다형성 분석에서 검증된 PCR marker를 우량돼지육종 계획에 있어 분자생물학적 선발 marker로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The aim of this study was to determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the beef cattle adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein 3 and 4 (FABP3 and FABP4) genes are associated with carcass weight (CW) and back fat thickness (BF) of beef cattle. By direct DNA sequencing in 24 unrelated Korean native cattle, we identified 20 SNPs in FABP3 and FABP4. Among them, 10 polymorphic sites were selected for genotyping in our beef cattle. We performed SNP, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium studies on 419 Korean native cattle with the 10 SNPs in the FABP genes. Statistical analysis revealed that 220A>G (I74V) and 348+303T>C polymorphisms in FABP4 showed putative associations with BF traits (P=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). Our findings suggest that the polymorphisms in FABP4 may play a role in determining one of the important genetic factors that influence BF in beef cattle.

FABPs, 15 kDa organic substances, are small intracellular proteins which have a primary role to regulate fatty acid uptake and intracellular transport. This study was conducted to identify SNPs in the two FABP family genes and their associations with the body weight traits in Korean native chicken (KNC). Two SNPs, namely g.508C>T of FABP3 gene and g.285C>T of FABP4 gene, have been genotyped by using PCR-RFLP method. The results showed that FABP3 was significantly associated with body weight at birth, body weights at 12 to 20 weeks, and also slaughter weight. Moreover, the g.285C>T SNP of FABP4 gene was not associated with any body weight traits. These results suggested that the g.508C>T SNP of FABP3 genes can be used as molecular markers to select KNC having desirable body weights.

Kim과 Lee (2015)는 한우의 등급과 지방산을 향상시키는 우수한 FABP4 유전자를 선별하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 유전자를 확장하여 한우의 경제형질에 영향을 미치는 우수한 유전자형을 선별하는 것이다. 확장된 유전자는 한우의 등급과 지방산과 깊은 연관이 있다고 밝혀진 FABP4, SCD, FASN, SREBPs이다. 우리는 환경적인 요인을 제거하여 보정된 경제형질 값을 활용하여 보정된 경제형질 값에 다중인자차원축소 방법을 적용한다. 그 결과 한우의 등급, 지방산을 향상시키는 우수한 유전자와 유전자형을 선별했다.

Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between the mRNA expression of adipocyte type fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) and heart type FABP (H-FABP) in Thai native chicken crossbreeds and evaluate the level of exotic inclusion in native chicken that will improve growth while maintaining its relatively low carcass fat. Methods: The fat deposition traits and mRNA expression of A-FABP and H-FABP were evaluated at 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks of age in 4 chicken breeds (n = 8/breed/wk) (100% Chee breed [CH] [100% Thai native chicken background], CH male and broiler female [Kaimook e-san1; KM1] [50% CH background], broiler male and KM1 female [Kaimook e-san2; KM2] [25% CH background], and broiler [BR]) using abdominal fat (ABF) and muscular tissues. Results: The BR breed was only evaluated at 6 weeks of age. At week 6, the CH breed had a significantly lower A-FABP expression in ABF and intramuscular fat (IF) compared with the other breeds. At 8 to 12 weeks, the KM2 groups showed significant upregulation (p<0.05) of A-FABP in both ABF and IF compared to the CH and KM1 groups. The expression of H-FABP did not follow any consistent pattern in both ABF and IF across the different ages. Conclusion: Some level of crossbreeding CH chickens can be done to improve growth rate while maintaining their low ABF and IF. The expression level of A-FABP correlate with most fat traits. There was no consistency of H-FABP expression across breed. A-FABPs is involved in fat deposition, genetic markers in these genes could be used in marker assisted studies to select against excessive fat accumulation.

The aim of this study was to identify the polymorphism on fatty acid binding protein (FABP4) gene promoter region and its association with carcass traits in Hanwoo. We performed PCR-direct sequencing of FABP4 promoter region to identify single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) using unrelated 24 Hanwoo bulls. Four SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G, -887A>G, -862A>G) were detected in the promoter region and genotyped on 583 Hanwoo steers. A linear mixed model revealed an association of three SNPs (-298A>G, -472A>G and -862A>G) with carcass weight and marbling score in dominance model (P<0.05). The animals with AA genotypes for the three SNPs were heavier carcass weight (5 kg) than animals with GG genotypes in the statistical analysis. For the marbling score, the AA genotype was lower effect of marbling score (0.21) than GG genotypes. In conclusion, this study indicates an important role for three SNPs detected in promoter region of FABP4 in determining carcass weight and marbling score in Hanwoo.
