The expression of genes encoding myogenic regulatory factors – Myf5, MyoG, MyoD1a, MyoD1b, heavy (MyHC) and light (mlc2) myosin chains, as well as myostatin (Mstn1a) – was studied in pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walb.) smolts caught in rivers during the period of migration for fattening to the White and Barents Seas. It was found that individuals from the Keret River had higher expression levels of the mlc2, MyHC, MyoD1a, MyoD1b and MyoG genes compared to those in the Varzuga River. It was shown that the smolts from the rivers of the White Sea basin – Indera, Keret and Umba, had higher expression values of the MyoD1b and MyoG genes, and in the Varzuga River – Myf5, in contrast to fish from the Voronya River of the Barents Sea basin. The highest level of expression of the Mstn1a gene was detected in pink salmon in the Voronya River. The obtained results indicate differences in the regulation of myogenesis in pink salmon smolts depending on the temperature and feeding conditions of habitat in different rivers.

Исследовали экспрессию генов миогенных регуляторных факторов – Myf5, MyoG, MyoD1a, MyoD1b, тяжелой (MyHC) и легкой (mlc2) цепей миозина, а также миостатина (Mstn1a) у смолтов горбуши Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (Walb.), выловленных в реках в период ската для нагула в Белое и Баренцево моря. Установлено, что особи из реки Кереть имели более высокие уровни экспрессии генов mlc2, MyHC, MyoD1a, MyoD1b и MyoG по сравнению с таковыми у рыб в реке Варзуга. Показано, что у смолтов из рек бассейна Белого моря – Индера, Кереть и Умба, значения экспрессии генов MyoD1b и MyoG, а в реке Варзуга – Myf5, были выше в отличие от рыб из реки Воронья бассейна Баренцева моря. У горбуши в реке Воронья был выявлен самый высокий уровень экспрессии гена Mstn1a. Полученные результаты указывают на различия в регуляции миогенеза у смолтов горбуши в зависимости от температурных и кормовых условий обитания в разных реках.
