Abstract EN
We quantified chicken calpain 2 (CAPN2) expression in two Chinese chicken breeds (mountainous black-bone chicken breed [MB] and a commercial meat type chicken breed [S01]) to discern the tissue and ontogenic expression pattern and its effect on muscle metabolism.
Real-time quantitative PCR assay was developed for accurate measurement of the CAPN2 mRNA expression in various tissues from chickens of different ages (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks).
Results showed that the breast muscle and leg muscle tissues had the highest expression of CAPN2 compared to the other tissues from the same individual (P<.05).
Overall, the CAPN2 mRNA level exhibited a “rise” developmental change in all tissues.
The S01 chicken had a higher expression of the CAPN2 mRNA in all tissues than the MB chicken.
Our results suggest that chicken CAPN2 expression may be related to chicken breeds and tissues.
