摘要： The GHRL, LEAP2, and GHSR system have recently been identified as important regulators of feed intake in mammals and chickens. However, the complete cloning of the quail GHRL (qGHRL) and quail LEAP2 (qLEAP2) genes, as well as their association with feed intake, remains unclear. This study cloned the entire qGHRL and qLEAP2 cDNA sequence in Chinese yellow quail (Coturnix japonica), including the 5 ' and 3 ' untranslated regions. Sanger sequencing analysis revealed no missense mutations in the coding region of qGHRL and qLEAP2. Subsequently, phylogenetic analysis and protein homology alignment were conducted on the qGHRL and qLEAP2 in major poultry species. The findings of this research indicated that the qGHRL and qLEAP2 sequences exhibit a high degree of similarity with those of chicken and turkey. Specifically, the N-terminal 6 amino acids of GHRL mature peptides and all the mature peptide sequence of LEAP2 exhibited consistent patterns across all species examined. The analysis of tissue gene expression profiles indicated that qGHRL was primarily expressed in the proventriculus and brain tissue, whereas qLEAP2 exhibited higher expression levels in the intestinal tissue, kidney, and liver tissue, differing slightly from previous studies conducted on chicken. It is necessary to investigate the significance of elevated expression of qGHRL in brain and qLEAP2 in kidney in the future. Further research has shown that the expression of qLEAP2 can quickly respond to changes in different energy states, whereas qGHRL does not exhibit the same capability. Overall, this study successfully cloned the complete cDNA sequences of qGHRL and qLEAP2, and conducted a comprehensive examination of their tissue expression profiles and gene expression levels in the main expressing organs across different energy states. Our current findings suggested that qLEAP2 is highly expressed in the liver, intestine, and kidney, and its expression level is regulated by feed intake.
