However, most of the studies conducted were carried out on a small number of animals and mostly applied gel-based proteomics. The present study proposes for the first time a Sequential Window Acquisition of All Theoretical Mass Spectra (SWATH-MS) proteomics approach to characterize and comprehensively quantify the <em>post-mortem</em> muscle proteome of DFD (pH<sub>24</sub> ≥ 6.2) and CONTROL (5.4 ≤ pH<sub>24</sub> ≤ 5.6) beef samples within the largest database of DFD/CONTROL beef samples to date (26 pairs of the <em>Longissimus thoracis muscle</em> samples of young bulls from Asturiana de los Valles breed, <em>n</em> = 52). The pairwise comparison yielded 35 proteins that significantly differed in their abundances between the DFD and CONTROL samples. Chemometrics methods using both PLS-DA and OPLS-DA revealed 31 and 36 proteins with VIP > 2.0, respectively. The combination of different statistical methods these being Volcano plot, PLS-DA and OPLS-DA allowed us to propose 16 proteins as good candidate biomarkers of DFD beef. These proteins are associated with interconnected biochemical pathways related to energy metabolism (DHRS7B and CYB5R3), binding and signaling (RABGGTA, MIA3, BPIFA2B, CAP2, APOBEC2, UBE2V1, KIR2DL1), muscle contraction, structure and associated proteins (DMD, PFN2), proteolysis, hydrolases, and activity regulation (AGT, C4A, GLB1, CAND2), and calcium homeostasis (ANXA6). These results evidenced the potential of SWATH-MS and chemometrics to accurately identify novel biomarkers for meat quality defects, providing a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying dark-cutting beef condition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":389,"journal":{"name":"Meat Science","volume":"217 ","pages":"Article 109618"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
