Abstract

The purpose of this study was to reveal the correlation between serum concentration of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2, 9 and 13 and serum antioxidant indexes capacity, meat quality of beef cattle. In the experiment, fifty-two healthy crossbred bulls (Simmental×Yanbian cattle) with similar body weight[initial body weight was (436±35) kg] were selected, and the cattle were fed the same total mixed ration (TMR). On 1 day before the end of feeding experiment, blood of each cattle was sampled in the morning before feeding to prepare serum for measuring MMP2, 9 and 13 concentrations and antioxidant indexes. After 145 days of feeding, all cattle were slaughtered, and the indexes of slaughter performance, carcass traits and meat quality were measured. The results showed that the serum MMP2 concentration of cattle had no significant correlation with serum reactive oxide species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) activities and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) (P>0.05). Serum MMP9 concentration of cattle was significantly negatively correlated with serum ROS content (r=-0.358, P=0.011), but was not significantly correlated with other serum antioxidant indexes (P>0.05). Serum MMP13 concentration of cattle was significantly negatively correlated with serum ROS content (r=-0.292, P=0.040), but had no significant correlation with other serum antioxidant indexes (P>0.05). Serum MMP2 concentration of cattle was significantly positively correlated with beef marble score (r=0.352, P=0.012) and intramuscular fat content (r=0.307, P=0.036). Serum MMP9 concentration of cattle was significantly negatively correlated with beef shear force (r=-0.430, P=0.002). Serum MMP13 concentration of cattle was negatively correlated with beef shear force (r=-0.281, P=0.048). There was no significant correlation between MMP2, 9 and 13 concentrations and the proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), n-3 PUFA, n-6 PUFA, and the n-6/n-3, PUFA/SFA, C18:2n6/C18:3n3 of beef (P>0.05). These findings indicate that the serum MMP2 concentration of beef cattle has significantly positively correlation with marbling score of beef, and the serum MMP9 and 13 concentrations have significantly negatively correlation with serum ROS content and beef shear force. The concentrations of serum MMP2, 9 and 13 may be potential biomarkers for genetic selection of beef cattle or strategies of beef quality control.
