Abstract

With Single Comb White Leghorn (WL) and Korean Native Chicken (KNC) breeds, we compared the stress response with chicken breeds that were subjected to a high stocking density. Stress response was analyzed by the quantity of telomeric DNA, the rate of DNA damage and the expression levels of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and hydroxyl-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) genes on tissues and blood. The telomere length and telomere shortening rates were analyzed by quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization on the nuclei of lymphocytes and tissues. The DNA damage rate of lymphocytes was quantified by the comet assay. The expression levels of HSP70, HSP90-${\alpha}$, HSP90-${\beta}$ and HMGCR genes were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in lymphocytes. There was no significant difference between KNC and WL in body weight, weight gain, telomere shortening rate and DNA damage rate. However, the growth rate significantly decreased in chickens raised under high stocking density conditions, as compared to the control group. The telomere-shortening rate, DNA damage and HSPs expression of the lymphocytes were significantly higher in the high stocking density group than the control. The stress condition and breeds had a significant effect on the expressions of HSP70, HSP90-${\alpha}$ and HSP90-${\beta}$ in lymphocytes, except HMGCR. The stress response of WL was higher than that of KNC, as analyzed to the expression of HSP70 and HSP90-${\alpha}$. Therefore, we concluded that the chickens which were exposed to a high stocking density had increased the individual physiological stress response regardless of breeds, and White Leghorns are more susceptible to stress condition than Korean Native Chickens.

본 연구에서는 닭의 품종에 따른 개체의 스트레스 반응정도를 알아보고자 한국 재래닭과 단관 백색 레그혼종을 공시하고, 고밀도 사육에 따른 생리적 스트레스 표지 값을 비교 분석하였다. 스트레스 반응 정도는 혈액과 각 조직별 세포들에 대한 텔로미어 함량, DNA 손상율 및 열 스트레스 단백질(HSPs) 유전자의 발현율을 분석하고 비교하였다. 텔로미어 함량 및 감축율은 양적 형광 접합 보인법으로 분석하였고, DNA 손상율은 Comet assay로 분석하였다. 열 스트레스 단백질 유전자 발현율은 HSP70, HSP90-${\alpha}$, HSP90-${\beta}$ 및 HMGCR을 표적으로 하여 real-time PCR로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한국 재래닭과 단관 백색 레그혼 간 품종에 따른 체중, 증체량, 텔로미어 감축율 및 DNA 손상율의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 고밀도 사육과 같은 스트레스 사양 관리는 품종에 상관없이 닭의 성장을 저해하고, 텔로미어 감축 및 DNA 손상을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, HMGCR을 제외한 HSPs 유전자 발현율의 경우, 밀사 사육에 따른 요인뿐만 아니라, 품종 간에도 유의적 차이를 보였다. HSPs의 분석에 따른 스트레스 정도는 단관 백색 레그혼종이 한국 재래닭에 비해 보다 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 품종과 관계없이 닭에 있어 고밀도 사육이 강한 환경적 스트레스 요인임을 시사하고, 품종 간 스트레스의 반응 정도는 레그혼종이 한국 재래닭에 비해 다소 높은 것으로 사료된다.
