To investigate the influence on the proteome of chicken skeletal muscles of Selenomethionine (SeMet) use, 36 chicks were fed with SeMet feeding for 35 days. A total of 72 1-day old broiler chicks were randomly allocated into two groups (n = 36/group): the control group (C group), the SeMet supplemented group (SeMet group). The Selenium (Se) concentrations of skeletal muscles from the chicks with basal diet (negative control group) and SeMet feeding were found to be 0.01 mg/kg and 0.40 mg/kg, respectively. The skeletal muscles from the two groups were investigated using isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ), coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. This proteomic analysis identified proteins that were differentially expressed between the two groups. A total of 3564 proteins from the SeMet and the control (C) groups at 35 days were analyzed. 86 proteins were found by iTRAQ to be differentially expressed in the SeMet group, including 38 up-regulated proteins and 48 down-regulated proteins. These differential proteins were later identified as being mainly involved in antioxidant and enzyme-regulating activities. Fluorescent quantitative PCR(qPCR) and Western blot analyse proved to be consistent with the results of iTRAQ identification. The differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) identified in our work could be specific biomarkers related to SeMet intake in chicks. SeMet intake may strengthen antioxidant activity through Rap1/mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signal pathways.
