| description | Effects of <i>in ovo</i> and dietary sources of calcidiol (25(OH)D<sub>3</sub>), combined with Marek’s disease vaccine (MDV), on the expression of genes involved with the antioxidant activity, muscle deposition, and immunity in the pectoralis major (P. major) muscle and spleen of 40 d of age (doa) broilers were investigated. The <i>in ovo</i> treatments were as follows: (1) non-injected; (2) the injection of 50 μL of commercial MDV, (3) MDV + 1.2, or (4) 2.4 μg of 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub>. All birds received either a commercial diet containing no supplemental 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub> (control) or the same diet supplemented with an additional 69 µg of 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub> per kg of feed (Hy-D diet). At 40 doa, the pectoralis major (P. major) muscle and spleen of 48 birds (six replicates per diet x <i>in ovo</i> treatment combination) were collected. When compared to un-supplemented commercial diet-fed birds, in birds that were fed the Hy-D diet, the expression of the TGF-β4 gene in the spleen and P. major muscle, and the <i>GSH-P1</i>, <i>GSH-P7</i>, <i>SOD2</i>, <i>MyoG</i>, <i>MyoD1</i>, and <i>Pax3</i> genes in the P. major muscle were up-regulated, whereas the expression of the <i>IL-1β</i>, <i>IL-8</i>, and <i>CYP24A1</i> genes in the spleen and P. major muscle were down-regulated. Nevertheless, birds that received any of the <i>in ovo</i> injection doses of 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub> exhibited a higher expression of the <i>IL-10</i>, <i>TGF-β4</i>, and <i>CYP27B1</i> genes in the spleen and P. major muscle. Furthermore, in comparison to the MDV-injected control group, the <i>CAT</i>, <i>MyoD1</i>, and <i>Pax3</i> genes in the P. major muscle were up-regulated, and the expression of the <i>INF-γ</i>, <i>IL-1β</i> and <i>CYP24A1</i> genes in the spleen and the <i>IL-8</i>, and <i>IL-1β</i> genes in the P. major muscle were down-regulated. In conclusion, a significant improvement in the expression of genes responsible for enzymatic antioxidant activity, protein synthesis, and inflammatory reactions in 40-day-old broilers occurred in response to <i>in ovo</i> and dietary supplemental 25(OH)D<sub>3</sub>, and supplemental 25OHD<sub>3</sub> provided via either route was used to enhance the expression of genes linked to vitamin D activity (<i>CYP27B1</i>, <i>CYP24A1</i>). |
