Abstract

The effect of high stocking density (HSD) on the expression of stress and lipid metabolism associated genes in the liver of broiler chickens was examined by chicken genome array analysis. The chickens in a control group were randomly assigned to a $495cm^2/bird$ stocking density, whereas the chickens in a HSD group were arranged in a $245cm^2/bird$ stocking density with feeding ad libitum for 35 days. The chickens assigned to the HSD group had a significantly lower body weight, weight gain, and feed intake compared with those of the control group (p<0.05). The mortality of chickens was higher in the HSD group than in the control group. The microarray analysis indicated up-regulation of stress associated genes such as HMGCR, $HSP90{\alpha}$, HSPA5 (GRP78/Bip), DNAJC3 and ATF4, and down-regulation of interferon-${\gamma}$ and PDCD4 genes. The endoplasmic reticulum stress associated genes, HSPA5 (GRP78/Bip), DNAJC3 and ATF4, were highly expressed in the HSD group. The genes, ACSL5, TMEM195 and ELOVL6, involved in fatty acid synthesis, were elevated in the HSD group. The genes, ACAA1, ACOX1, EHHADH, LOC423347 and CPT1A, related to fatty acid oxidation, were also activated in the HSD group. These results suggest that a HSD rearing system stimulates the genes associated with fatty acid synthesis as well as fatty acid oxidation in the liver of broiler chickens.

본 연구는 육계에서 고밀도 사양체계가 간의 지놈 전사체, 특히 스트레스 및 지방대사 연관 유전자들의 발현에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 공시된 시험동물의 대조군 사육밀도는 $495cm^2$/수, 고밀도군은 $245cm^2$/수를 35일령까지 유지하였다. 대조구와 비교하여 고밀도 사양 육계에서 체중, 증체량, 사료섭취량이 유의적(p<0.05)으로 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 폐사율은 고밀도군에서 15.7%로서 대조군(3.7%)에 비해 폐사율이 4.2배 높았다. 육계의 사육밀도에 따른 스트레스관련 유전자 HMGCR, $HSP90{\alpha}$, HSPA5 (GRP78/Bip), DNAJC3, ATF4 등의 발현이 증가하였으며, interferon-${\gamma}$, PDCD4 등의 발현은 감소하였다. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress 관련 HSPA5 (GRP78/Bip), DNAJC3 그리고 ATF4은 유전자들은 고밀도 사양계에서 유전자의 발현이 2-3배 증가함을 보였다. 고밀도 사양은 지방산 합성에 관여하는 효소들(ACSL5, TMEM195, ELOVL6)의 유전자 발현증가와 지방산산화(${\beta}$-oxidatin)에 관여하는 효소들(ACAA1, ACOX1, EHHADH, LOC423347, CPT1A)의 RNA 발현 증가를 유도하였다. 본 연구는 밀사에 의한 스트레스가 닭의 간에서 지방을 합성하기 위한 유전자들의 발현을 증가시키고, 합성된 지방산을 분해하여 에너지를 생산하기 위한 지방산의 산화도 높게 유지하고 있음을 보여주었다. 닭의 주요 지방대사기관인 간에서 외부적 환경인자(사육환경)에 의한 스트레스와 생리적 대사(지방대사 및 소포체 스트레스)가 서로 밀접한 관계가 있음을 분자생물학적 수준에서 확인하였다. 따라서 스트레스저감 사육환경제공 및 친환경 사육방법 도입 등 동물복지를 고려한 가금사양체계가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
