Abstract: To investigate the effect of myostatin(MSTN)on skeletal muscle fat metabolism, MSTN-/- Mongolian cattle (MG.ZJY)and wild Mongolian cattle(MG.DZ), MSTN-/- Luxi cattle(LX.ZJY)and wild Luxi cattle(LX.DZ)and MSTN-/- Mongolian Black Cattle(HN.ZJY)and wild Mongolian black cattle(HN.DZ)leg gluteal muscle tissue as a sample, quantitative proteomics and phosphorus Acidified proteomics technology were used to screen differential proteins and differentially phosphorylated proteins. These differential proteins and phosphorylated proteins were statistically analyzed by online bioinformatics analysis software and website, and triglyceride content in various tissues were detected. The results showed that the identified multiple differential proteins were all related to fat metabolism, and these differential proteins were mainly enriched in fatty acid degradation, fatty acid metabolism and PPAR signaling pathways. Tissue triglyceride assay showed that the triglyceride content in muscle tissue of MSTN-/- cattle was significantly decreased compared with that of wild cattle. The results of this study showed that knockout of MSTN gene could promote fatty acid metabolism in bovine skeletal muscle. The results lay a foundation for further research on the effect of MSTN gene on skeletal muscle metabolic mechanism.

Key words: MSTN, skeletal muscle, proteomics, fatty acid metabolism
