Sustained injection of miR-499-5p alters the gastrocnemius muscle metabolome in broiler chickens

<p>To investigate the effects of miR-499-5p on muscle metabolism in broiler chickens, eight broiler chicks were assigned to the control group and eight to the treatment group, and then we monitored the effects using metabolomics. Chicks were fed basal diets without or with miR-499-5p delivery....

description <p>To investigate the effects of miR-499-5p on muscle metabolism in broiler chickens, eight broiler chicks were assigned to the control group and eight to the treatment group, and then we monitored the effects using metabolomics. Chicks were fed basal diets without or with miR-499-5p delivery. Gastrocnemius muscle samples were collected and analyzed by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that miR-499-5p injection altered the concentrations of a variety of metabolites in the gastrocnemius muscle. Thereby, a total of 46 metabolites were identified at higher (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i><i>&lt;</i>0.05</span>) concentrations and 30 metabolites were identified at lower (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i><i>&lt;</i>0.05</span>) concentrations in the treatment group compared with the control group. These metabolites were primarily involved with the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. Further metabolic pathway analysis revealed that fructose and mannose metabolism, galactose metabolism, inositol phosphate metabolism, and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis were the most critical pathway which may partially interpret the effects of miR-499-5p. To our knowledge, this research is the first report of metabolic signatures and related metabolic pathways in the skeletal muscle for miR-499-5p injection and provides new insight into the effect of miRNA on growth performance.</p>
