Abstract:
:Myopathies (Woody Breast (WB) and White Striping (WS)) of broiler chickens have been correlated with fast growth. Recent studies reported that localized hypoxia and metabolic impairment may involve in these myopathies of birds. In order to better understand the stress response mechanisms affecting myopathies of broilers, the aim of this study was to examine effects of WB and both WB/WS on stress hormone corticosterone (CORT) levels and expressional changes of stress response genes including glucocorticoid (GC) receptor (GR), 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), DNA methylation regulators (DNMTs), and arginine vasotocin receptor 1a and 1b (V1aR, V1bR). Results of radioimmunoassay showed that CORT levels of WB and WB/WS birds were significantly higher compared to Con (p < 0.05), however, the combination of WB/WS was not significantly higher than WB birds, implying that the effects of WB and WS on CORT are not synergistic. Hepatic GR expression of both WB and WB/WS birds were significantly higher compared to Con (p < 0.05). However, GR expression levels in breast muscle of both WB and WB/WS birds were decreased compared to Con (p < 0.05). Hepatic 11β-HSD1 expression was increased only in WB/WS birds compared to Con birds with no significant difference between Con and WB birds. 11β-HSD1 expression was decreased and increased in WB and WB/WS birds compared to Con, respectively, in breast muscle (p < 0.05). DNMT1 expression was significantly decreased in both muscle and liver of WB birds, and in muscle of WB/WS birds, but not in liver of WB/WS birds, indicating differential effects of WS on the epigenetical stress response of muscle and liver compared to WB. V1aR expression was significantly increased in muscle of WB birds, and in liver of WB/WS birds compared to Con birds (p < 0.05). V1bR was not changed in muscle and liver of WB birds compared to Con birds. Taken together, results suggest that GC-induced myopathies occur in fast-growing broiler chickens and circulating CORT level might be a significant biochemical marker of myopathies (WB and WS) of birds. In addition, chronic stress responses in breast muscle and tissue-specific epigenetic changes of stress response genes by DNMTs may play a critical role in the occurrence of myopathies.
