摘要: 目的 Wnt信号通路在动物皮肤毛囊的发生发育中具有重要作用, 前期研究结果表明Wnt3a可能是影响鸡皮肤毛囊密度性状的重要候选基因。为进一步验证Wnt3a在皮肤毛囊生长发育中的作用, 研究以金陵花鸡为研究对象, 筛选Wnt3a SNPs, 并分析其与毛囊密度性状的相关性, 以期找到对皮肤毛囊密度有显著影响的分子标记, 为培育屠体美观的屠宰型肉鸡的“分子编写育种”提供参考。方法 采用PCR扩增直接测序法对Wnt3a 的SNPs位点进行筛查, 分析单个SNP标记与皮肤毛囊密度性状的相关性。采用Haploview软件分析这些SNP位点的连锁不平衡(LD)程度, 并分析不同单倍型组合与毛囊密度性状的相关性。结果 共发现14个SNP位点, 在第2外显子发现1个SNP位点(SNP1), 为同义突变;第2内含子发现4个突变位点( SNP2—SNP5), 在第3内含子发现9个SNP位点(SNP6—SNP14)。卡方检验表明, 第2外显子的1个突变位点(SNP1)和第2内含子的3个突变位点(SNP3—SNP5)的3个位点均处于哈代-温伯格平衡状态(P>0.05), 第3内含子的9个SNPs(SNP6-SNP14)偏离哈代-温伯格平衡(P<0.05)。SNP1—SNP5的He均小于0.50, PIC均小于0.25, 这5个SNP位点遗传多样性较低。第3内含子的9个突变位点, SNP6、SNP7、SNP9位点PIC<0.25, 其他6个突变位点 0.25< PIC<0.5, 为中度多态。单标记关联分析表明, 公、母鸡SNP2位点的AG基因型的毛囊密度显著高于GG基因型(P< 0.05);母鸡SNP8位点的AA与GG基因型的毛囊密度显著高于AG基因型(P < 0.05), 在公鸡中3种基因型的毛囊密度差异不显著。14个SNPs连锁不平衡分析表明, SNP3、SNP4和SNP5的强连锁产生了2种单倍型, H1(GAT)频率为0.882和H2(TCC)频率为0.118;SNP6—SNP13之间的强连锁产生了5种单倍型, 其中H1(ACATTATC)和H2(ACGTCCCA), H3(ACGTTCCA), H4(GTGCTATA), H5(ACGTCCCC), 单倍型频率分别为0.469、0.275、0.123、0.113、0.014。SNP3、SNP4和SNP5连锁产生的2 种单倍型组合后产生了3种单倍型组合, 关联分析发现在公、母鸡中3种单倍型组合的毛囊密度均差异不显著;将SNP6—SNP13连锁产生的5种主要单倍型组合后, 公鸡有7种组合单倍型组合, 毛孔数量差异不显著;母鸡有8种主要单倍型组合, 其中H1H1(AACCAATTTTAATTCC)毛囊密度最大。SNP2和SNP8位点与皮肤毛囊密度显著相关, 单倍型组合H1H1(AGAA)、H1H2(AGAG)为母鸡优势单倍型。结论 筛选到Wnt3a的14个SNPs位点, 其中, SNP2(rs2587721 G >A)和SNP8(rs2555967G>A)位点与毛囊密度显著相关, 8个SNPs(SNP6—SNP13)位点处于强连锁不平衡, 母鸡H1H1单倍型毛囊密度最大。Wnt3a的SNP2和SNP8位点的单倍型组合H1H1(AGAA)、H1H2(AGAG)和SNP6—SNP13连锁产生的H1H1(AACCAATTTTAATTCC)单倍型组合与母鸡毛囊密度显著相关, 可以为鸡毛囊密度“分子编写育种”提供重要遗传信息。

Abstract:

【Objective】 The Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of animal skin feather follicles. The results of previous studies indicated that the Wnt3a might be an important candidate gene that had effects on the chicken feather follicle density. In order to further verify the role of Wnt3a in the growth and development of skin feather follicle density, Wnt3a SNPs were screened and their association with feather follicle density would be analyzed in Jinling Hua chicken. The study could provide a reference for “breeding by molecular writing” of slaughter-type broilers with beautiful carcasses.【Method】 The SNPs of Wnt3a gene were screened by PCR amplification and direct sequencing, and the correlation between a single SNP marker and skin feather follicle density traits was analyzed. Haploview software was used to analyze the degree of linkage disequilibrium (LD) of these SNP loci, and the correlation between different haplotype combinations and feather follicle density traits was also analyzed..【Result】 A total of 14 SNP sites were found, and one SNP site (SNP1) was found in the second exon, which was a synonymous mutation. Four mutation sites (SNP2-SNP5) were found in the second intron, and 9 SNP sites (SNP6-SNP14) were found in the third intron. The chi-square test showed that one mutation site (SNP1) in the second exon and three mutation sites (SNP3-SNP5) in the second intron were all in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P>0.05), 9 mutation sites (SNP6-SNP14) of the third intron deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P<0.05). The expected heterozygosity (He) of SNP1-SNP5 was less than 0.50, and the polymorphic information content (PIC) was less than 0.25. The genetic polymorphisms of these 5 SNP loci were low. The third intron had 9 mutation sites, PIC of SNP6, SNP7, SNP9 sites was less than 0.25, and the other 6 mutation sites were 0.25<PIC<0.5, which were moderately polymorphic. Single-marker association analysis showed that the number of skin feather follicle with SNP2 locus of AG genotype in males and females was significantly higher than that of GG genotype (P<0.05). The number of skin feather follicles with SNP8 locus of AA and GG genotypes in females was significantly higher than that of the AG genotype (P<0.05). The skin feather follicles density in the three genotypes in males was not significantly different. The linkage disequilibrium analysis of 14 SNPs showed that SNP6-SNP13 and SNP3-SNP5 had a strong linkage disequilibrium, respectively. SNP3, SNP4, and SNP5 produced three haplotype combinations after the combination of the two haplotypes linked by SNP3- SNP5. Association analysis found that the skin feather follicle density of the three haplotype combinations in males and females were not significantly different. After the combination of 5 main haplotypes at SNP6-SNP13 locus, the males had 7 haplotype combinations, and the skin feather follicles density was not significant. Females had 8 haplotype combinations, of which H1H1 (AACCAATTTTAATTCC) had the highest skin feather follicles density. SNP2 and SNP8 were significantly correlated with skin feather follicle density, and the haplotype combination H1H1(AGAA) and H1H2 (AGAG) were the dominant haplotypes in hens.【Conclusion】 Fourteen SNPs of Wnt3a were screened. Among them, individuals with different genotypes at rs2587721 G>A (SNP2) and rs2555967G>A (SNP8) locus had significant differences in feather follicle density. Eight SNPs (SNP6-SNP13) loci were in strong linkage disequilibrium, and the combination of H1H1 had the highest feather follicles density in females. The haplotype combination of SNP2 and SNP8 of Wnt3a H1H (AGAA), H1H2 (AGAG) and SNP6-SNP13 linked to produce the H1H1 (AACCAATTTTAATTCC) haplotype combination were significantly correlated with feather follicle density in females, which provided important genetic information for “breeding by molecular writing” on chicken skin feather follicle density.
