Vitamin A and its metabolite, retinoic acid (RA) play important roles in regulating skeletal muscle development. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of early intramuscular vitamin A injection on the muscle growth of lambs. A total of 16 newborn lambs were given weekly intramuscular injections of corn oil (control group, n = 8) or 7,500 IU vitamin A palmitate (vitamin A group, n = 8) from birth to 3 wk of age (4 shots in total). At 3 wk of age and weaning, biceps femoris muscle samples were taken to analyze the effects of vitamin A on the myogenic capacity of skeletal muscle cells. All lambs were slaughtered at 8 months of age. The results suggest that vitamin A treatment accelerated the growth rate of lambs and increased the loin eye area (P < 0.05). Consistently, vitamin A increased the diameter of myofibers in longissimus thoracis muscle (P < 0.01) and increased the final body weight of lambs (P < 0.05). Vitamin A injection did not change the protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin and myostatin signaling (P > 0.05). Moreover, vitamin A upregulated the expression of PAX7 (P < 0.05) and the myogenic marker genes including MYOD and MYOG (P < 0.01). The skeletal muscle-derived mononuclear cells from vitamin A-treated lambs showed higher expression of myogenic genes (P < 0.05) and formed more myotubes (P < 0.01) when myogenic differentiation was induced in vitro. In addition, in vitro analysis showed that RA promoted myogenic differentiation of the skeletal muscle-derived mononuclear cells in the first 3 d (P < 0.05) but not at the later stage (P > 0.05) as evidenced by myogenic gene expression and fusion index. Taken together, neonatal intramuscular vitamin A injection promotes lamb muscle growth by promoting the myogenic potential of satellite cells.

出生时注射维生素 A 可改善羔羊的肌肉生长

维生素 A 及其代谢物视黄酸 (RA) 在调节骨骼肌发育中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在探讨早期肌肉注射维生素A对羔羊肌肉生长的影响。 16只新生羔羊从出生到3周龄每周肌注玉米油(对照组,n  = 8)或7,500 IU维生素A棕榈酸酯(维生素A组,n = 8)(共注射4次) 。3周龄和断奶时,采集股二头肌样本,分析维生素A对骨骼肌细胞生肌能力的影响。所有羔羊均在 8 个月大时宰杀。结果表明,维生素A处理加速了羔羊的生长速度,增加了腰眼面积(P  <0.05)。一致的是,维生素A增加了胸最长肌的肌纤维直径(P  <0.01)并增加了羔羊的最终体重(P  <0.05)。维生素 A 注射未改变雷帕霉素和肌肉生长抑制素信号传导的蛋白激酶 B/哺乳动物靶点(P  > 0.05)。此外,维生素A上调PAX7P <0.05)和包括MYODMYOG 在内的生肌标记基因(P  <0.01)的表达。维生素A处理的羔羊骨骼肌来源的单核细胞 在体外诱导肌源性分化时,肌源性基因表达较高( P  <0.05),并形成更多的肌管(P <0.01)。此外,体外分析显示,肌源性基因 表达和融合指数表明, RA在前3 d促进骨骼肌源性单核细胞的肌源性分化( P  < 0.05),但在后期则不促进骨骼肌源性单核细胞的肌源性分化(P > 0.05)。 。综上所述,新生儿肌肉注射维生素 A 可以通过促进卫星细胞的生肌潜力来促进羔羊肌肉的生长。
