Abstract
Heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) plays a crucial role in the apoptotic pathways associated with postmortem tissue softening in Esox lucius. However, its specific mechanisms require further investigation. This study investigated the relationship between HSP27 expression and muscle quality during postslaughter senescence, and further confirmed the association between HSP27 and apoptosis through the injection of the HSP27 specific inhibitor KRIBB3. The results indicated that storage at 4 °C inhibited the level of HSP27 and the caspase apoptosis signaling pathway is activated, which resulted in intracellular protein degradation, tissue softening, and increased free water content. The administration of KRIBB3 reduced HSP27 levels, leading to reduced binding of HSP27 to cytochrome c (Cyt-c) and increased release of Cyt-c. This alteration activated caspase-3 and caspase-9, ultimately causing cell apoptosis, protein degradation, and tissue softening. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanism of action of HSP27 in postmortem muscle softening in Esox lucius.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
