Abstract
AbstractCholesterol is synthesized in chicken through de novo lipid biosynthetic pathway where two most important genes viz. SREBP1 and ACACA play immense role. To minimize cholesterol synthesis, RNAi approach was adopted and accordingly, we developed transgenic chicken possessing ACACA and SREBP1 shRNA constructs, which showed lower level of ACACA and SREBP1 in serum. The serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL cholesterol was significantly lower by 23.8, 35.6, 26.6 and 20.9%, respectively in SREBP1 transgenic birds compared to the control. The egg total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol content was numerically lower in both ACACA and SREBP1 transgenic birds by 14.3 and 13.2%, and 10.4 and 13.7%, respectively compared to the control. It is concluded that the protocol was perfected to develop transgenic chicken through RNAi for knocking down the expression of ACACA and SREBP1 proteins, which minimized the cholesterol and triglycerides contents in serum and eggs.
