ABSTRACT
Background: MiRNAs, short non-coding, nucleotides that regulate gene
expression through translation repression or degradation of target
mRNAs. Dietary protein has major influence on growth performance and
carcass characteristics. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate effect of
dietary protein with miRNA on broiler performance and muscle
development. Material and methods: twenty hundred - one day old Ross
chicks are equally allotted into five groups. The first was positive
control; the second was negative control; the 3rd group fed on reduced
protein diet plus leucine (5 gm /kg diet); the 4th fed on reduced protein
diet plus Lysine (1 gm /kg diet) and the 5th fed on reduced protein diet
plus Lysine (1 gm /kg diet) + Leucine (5 gm /kg diet) for 42 days.
Chicken were sacrificed and serum were separated for biochemical
analysis. Muscle tissues were collected for molecular determination.
Results: Chicken fed reduced protein diet plus leucine and lysine showed
highest value of body weight and gain than other. No changes in liver
and kidney functions between groups. Gene expression of miRNA- 449
and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) genes up-regulated in
group fed diet with leucine and lysine followed by group fed leucine.
MiRNA-206 and myostatin down- regulated in group fed diet with
leucine and lysine followed with other groups. Conclusion: MicroRNA
and their target genes have a great influence in muscle development and
growth in chicken fed diet with amino acid leucine and lysine than other
groups.

INTRODUCTION:
MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs, 18-25
nucleotides long endogenously generated that regulate the expression of
genes post-transcriptionally by binding to 3'UTR of the target mRNA
through translation inhibition or degradation of mRNA (1). The role of
miRNAs has been detected in many biological processes like
development, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, immunity,
metabolism and major signaling pathways. MiRNAs have been identified
as diagnostic markers that may be help in monitoring physiological and
pathological processes (2). Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in
cattle, chickens, pigs and sheep. Studies showed that miRNAs play
critical roles in muscle development and hypertrophy, adipose tissue
growth and early embryonic development (3).
Poultry industry has made numerous progresses with the research
of poultry genetic improvement and feed nutrition. It concerned to
increase the carcass yield and to decrease carcass fat. Increase demands
of consumers to poultry meat has guided the selection toward fastgrowing
strains with a reduced feed conversion ratio, increase body
weight gain, feed efficiency and muscle yield (4). Feed symbolize up to
70 % of the total cost of poultry production and the selection of feed
consumption can reduce feed cost and gas emissions. Feed together with
water provides energy and nutrient necessary for growth, reproduction
and health of the broilers (5). When formulating broiler ration, the main
attention is located on the CP (crude protein) because protein is the most
important component of broiler diets and together with the other main
elements such as carbohydrates, fat, water, vitamins and minerals is
essential for life (6). The balanced protein idea is defined as ideal amino
acid profile to provide broilers with correct minimum levels of essential
and non-essential amino acids. Decreasing balanced protein reduces feed
cost but also reduces performance of bird and profitability (7).
Leucine is one of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) besides
isoleucine and valine. It has some biological features such as providing
energy, regulating protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, adapting
immunity and mRNA translational origination, so leucine can affect
nutrient metabolism and animal growth (8). Leucine plays a special role
in both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. It motivates protein synthesis
through the mTOR signaling pathway, mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty
acid oxidation (9).

The present study was designed to evaluate the role of miRNAs
and their target genes to protein metabolism in broilers and the effects of
amino acid balance of the ration at the molecular levels. Also continue to
provide broiler strains that have improved annual growth, health and
muscle build-up with lower feed intake.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
1-Animals:
Hundred twenty one day old, commercial Ross broiler chicks were
housed in an environmentally, hygienic condition controlled cages and
food added ad libitum for (42 days). On arrival chicks weighted,
vaccinated and randomly separated to five groups with three replicates (8
birds /replicate) in each group and divided as following in table 1:
Group 1: chicks fed on basal standard diets (positive control group).

DISCUSSION
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of reduced
dietary protein, supplemented with synthetic amino acids on the
expression of microRNA and their target genes on broiler performance
through some biochemical and molecular analysis for a period of 42
days. Concerning the effect of leucine and lysine supplementation on
broiler performance. These results are in agreement with the findings of
108 Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 35 (7) 2020
(19) & (20) on muscle growth compared to diets which contained leucine
or lysine concentrations in low protein diet. The investigation of (21)
agreed with our results that group 2 fed on (reduced protein) resulted
lowering of body weight and a higher feed conversion ratio. Total feed
intake in group 2 recorded the highest value followed by groups 3 &5
(reduced protein + leucine or lysine) while the lowest feed intake was
detected in both control and group 5 (leucine and lysine). Theses results
disagreed with (22) that recorded a significant increase in feed intake
when the protein content of the diet was decreased in spite of amino acid
addition.
Our result revealed no alteration of ALT and AST activities were
recorded which agreed with findings that lowing protein diets did not
elevate AST or ALT (23). Uric acid value was decreased in group 2
compared with other supplemented amino acids groups, this result agreed
with (24) which stated that uric acid was decreased in chicken fed low
protein. TAG, LDL and VLDL-c of groups 2(reduced protein) had a
higher significant increase when compared with group 1 (control). These
results are in agreement with (25).
The present study demonstrated that the growth performance of
broiler in relation to gene expression levels of muscle genes. Group fed
reduced protein diet plus amino acid leucine and or lysine up-regulated
when compared with group 2. Due to its distinctive role, Leucine has a
special care as a nutrient signal to start muscle protein synthesis through
mTOR signaling pathway (26). mTOR through mTOR signaling pathway
has a basic role in modulating growth of muscle fiber and skeletal tissue
development, therefore repressing atrophy in muscles (27) and (28).
Myostatin gene recorded highest value in group 2 (reduced
protein) followed by group 3 (leucine) and group 4 (lysine) but group 5
(leucine and lysine) showed the lowest value. Our study agreed with
previous finding (29) and (30) that showed a negative connection
between myostatin levels and increased muscle mass. Previous studies
reported that myostatin act as inhibitory factor for myogenesis that downregulate
myo-D and is consider one of myogenic factors that play
important roles in muscle growth (31) and (32). The role of myostatin
gene in regulating breast muscle and abdominal fat weight was detected
by (33). (34) Stated that myomiRs are the miRNAs that only expressed in
striated muscle and include miR-206, miR-499 and other. Only specific
microRNA in skeletal muscle was miR-206 but other myomiRs
expressed in both cardicl and skeletal muscles (35).
Egypt. J. of Appl. Sci., 35 (7) 2020 109
Data concerned with expression of microRNA showed that miR-
206 down- regulated in muscle tissue in group 5 &4 reduced protein diet
plus with leucine and or lysine when compared with group 2 (reduced
protein). The recorded data agreed with (36) that miR-206 upgraded
muscle differentiation. These results agreed with the previous research of
(37) that miR-206 expression not always up-regulated as its action is
temporary though it was sufficiently expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.
(38) recorded that miR-206 was highly expressed in broiler resulting in
large muscle mass.
MiR-499 was expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscles, in the
study miR-499 was significantly up-regulated in group 5 (leucine+lysine)
followed by group 3 (leucine) and group 4 (lysine) respectively.
Alternate in miR-499 expression might be included in the adjustment
expression of number genes and signaling transduction pathways (39). It
was revealed that, almost all myomiR family as miR-206 and miR-499
were recorded to be enriched in cardiac or skeletal muscle, performing
different roles in transcription that direct expression of skeletal muscle
gene (40). While, miR-499 showed basic role for slow muscle fiber type
and maintenance in some species as it down- regulate expression of miT-
499 target protein to a suitable level to stop cardiomyocyte apoptosis
(41).
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the present study showed that the reduction of
protein by 1% in broiler diet formulation with supplementation of
limiting amino acids leucine and lysine in adequate level, greatly
improving the performance of broiler with molecular modulation of
microRNA and their target genes related to protein biosynthesis and
skeletal muscle development.
