- Abstract
Bone morphogenic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) is a transmembrane protein that affects the growth, development and muscle regeneration of the body by regulating the TGF-β, BMP and Wnt signaling pathways. Studies have found that BAMBI has important regulatory functions in skeletal muscle and preadipocytes in vivo and in vitro. However, research on this protein in cattle is lacking. In this study, to determine the role of BAMBI in the growth and development of cattle, we first found that the expression of BAMBI in adipose tissue and longissimus muscle of newborn and adult Qinchuan beef cattle was significantly different. Then we showed that BAMBI knockdown promoted the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes and suppressed myoblast myogenesis, as indicated by the increased lipid droplets and the decreased myotubes, as well as the corresponding significant changes in the expression of PPARγ, C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, FABP4, MyoD, MyoG and Myf6. Finally, to further verify the effect of BAMBI on the growth performance of cattle, we identified seven novel SNPs in the BAMBI genomic region, which were significantly correlated with one or more growth traits (p < 0.05). Furthermore, individuals with haplotype H1H4 (TC-GA-CT-CA-AT-AT-AG) had a higher body and carcass quality than those with other haplotypes (p < 0.05). In brief, BAMBI may be a functional gene for the differentiation of bovine preadipocytes and myoblasts, and variations in the BAMBI genomic region, especially the combined haplotype H1H4, may benefit marker-assisted selection in cattle.
