  • Example 4 Many quantitative traits represented by growth are less likely to involve only a single gene and are often the result of the collective action of multiple genes. For example, if one growth-promoting signal is elevated but another growth-suppressing signal is stronger than that, the overall growth signal intensity is negative and growth is expected to be suppressed. Therefore, in order to clarify the genes involved in growth, it is necessary to grasp the whole expression pattern of multiple genes and analyze the relationship with growth.
  • Example 4 the molting cycle of littermate juvenile crayfish is unified and sampled, growth data is acquired, and real-time PCR is performed to determine the expression level of candidate genes predicted to be related to growth. analyzed. Taking advantage of the fact that the growth of crayfish is suppressed over time when transferred to individual breeding, by sampling at multiple timings over time, juvenile crayfish with different degrees of growth from littermate crayfish with no genetic difference Got Focusing on the mechanism that integrates various cell growth / proliferation signals and environmental information when viewed on a cell scale, as shown in Examples 1 to 3, factors that have been demonstrated to be involved in growth control are included. Candidate genes were selected focusing on the upstream and downstream factors of the mTOR pathway and Akt pathway.
  • RNA extraction and reverse transcription Total RNA was extracted from the sample and reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA. The synthesized cDNA was diluted 100-fold and used as a sample for subsequent real-time PCR analysis.

The list of primers used is shown in Table 4 below. The standard used was cDNA, which was an equal mixture of all analytical samples and was serially diluted 20-fold or 30- to 2-fold. EF-1 ⁇ was used for internal control, and all measured values were quantified as relative values.
  • Example 4 a model for predicting the growth of the next molting from the individual body weight on the day after molting, the number of days elapsed after the transition to individual breeding, and the number of moltings so far was created as follows. Since the growth of decapod crustaceans is determined by the molting interval and the amount of growth per molting, these were first combined into one variable as the principal component score by principal component analysis. Next, a model for predicting this principal component score from the individual body weight on the day after molting at the time of molting one time before, the number of days elapsed after the start of individual breeding at that time, and the number of moltings was obtained by a generalized linear model. In the subsequent analysis, R software version 4.0.2 was used.

And added to the above-mentioned principal component analysis.
  • S PC1 is the principal component score of the growing PC1
  • M is the number of molts after the start of individual breeding
  • W is the individual body weight
  • D is the number of days elapsed since the start of individual breeding
  • c is the main component score with the maximum absolute value. It is a constant term that takes a large value (maximum value +1 in this case). Therefore, the principal component score S PC1 of the growth PC1 is obtained as follows.
  • FIG. 4 shows the correspondence between the value estimated from the breeding history and the actual value of the principal component score S PC1 of the growth PC1 using this model. It can be seen that the quality of growth can be estimated with a certain degree of accuracy from the breeding history.
  • the degree of growth that can occur in an individual sampled for gene expression analysis using this model can be evaluated as the main component score S PC1 of the growth PC1 from the breeding history up to the sampling.

It has been shown that the main component 2 of gene expression (gene expression PC2) and the gene expression PC3 having a large standardization coefficient (Table 7) have a strong influence on growth.
  • the expression levels of various factors have a positive correlation (main component loading amount 0.3 or more) or a negative correlation (main component loading amount ⁇ 0.3 or less) with respect to gene expression PC2 and gene expression PC3. It is shown that.
  • Factors shown to have a positive correlation with gene expression PC2 or gene expression PC3 have the effect of contributing to the promotion of growth by enhancing the expression of the gene, and the expression level is high.

  • the use of MIH (growth promoting effect by inhibiting expression) is as shown in Example 3.
  • Rheb is highly correlated with growth and is expected to be such a rate-determining factor (Fig. 5B). It is the TSC1 / TSC2 complex that suppresses Rheb, and the result that growth is promoted by inhibiting TSC1 or TSC2 with RNAi (Examples 1 and 2) also predicts that Rheb is a rate-determining factor. Is consistent with.
