摘要： Meat quality has a close relationship with fat and connective tissue; therefore, screening and identifying functional genes related to lipid metabolism is essential for the production of high-grade beef. The transcriptomes of the Longissimus dorsi muscle in Wagyu and Chinese Red Steppe cattle, breeds with significant differences in meat quality and intramuscular fat deposition, were analyzed using RNA-seq to screen for candidate genes associated with beef quality traits. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that the 388 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were involved in biological processes such as short-chain fatty acid metabolism, regulation of fatty acid transport and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. In addition, crystallin alpha B (CRYAB), ankyrin repeat domain 2 (ANKRD2), aldehyde dehydrogenase 9 family member A1 (ALDH9A1) and enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase (EHHADH) were investigated for their effects on intracellular triglyceride and fatty acid content and their regulatory effects on genes in lipogenesis and fatty acid metabolism pathways. This study generated a dataset from transcriptome profiling of two cattle breeds, with differing capacities for fat-deposition in the muscle, and revealed molecular evidence that CRYAB, ANKRD2, ALDH9A1 and EHHADH are related to fat metabolism in bovine fetal fibroblasts (BFFs). The results provide potential functional genes for maker-assisted selection and molecular breeding to improve meat quality traits in beef cattle.
