To identify new molecular markers of beef sensory quality, the transcriptomes of Longissimus thoracis muscle from 25 Charolais bull calves were analyzed using microarrays and compared between high and low meat quality groups; 215 genes were differentially expressed according to tenderness, juiciness, and/or flavor. Among these, 23 were up-regulated in the tenderest, juiciest, and tastiest meats, and 18 were highly correlated with both flavor and juiciness (e.g., PRKAG1), explaining up to 60% of ...[more]

Project description:Myostatin is a highly conserved Transforming Growth Factor beta family member which negatively regulates muscle development. Double-muscled (DM) cattle have a loss-of-function mutation in their myostatin gene responsible for a hypermuscular phenotype mainly due to hyperplasia. Thus these animals represent a good model for understanding the mechanisms at the origin of muscular hypertrophy. In order to identify individual genes or networks that may be myostatin targets, we looked for genes differentially expressed between DM and normal (NM) animals (n=3 per group) in the semitendinosus muscle (a hypertrophied muscle in DM animals) at 260 days of fetal development (intensive muscle biochemical differentiation). The experiment was carried out using muscle-dedicated high density oligonucleotide arrays of around 6,000 muscle specific genes. A great number of genes was found to be differentially expressed according to the genetic type (some with a change higher than 5-fold), and according to the zygosity of the myostatin mutation. They belonged to various functional categories. The genes down-regulated in DM fetuses corresponded mainly to genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins, slow contractile proteins and ribosomal proteins. On the other hand, the genes up-regulated in DM fetuses were involved mainly in the regulation of transcription, cell cycle/apoptosis, translation, or DNA metabolism. These data singled out features indicating that DM muscle had shifted towards a more glycolytic metabolism, had an altered extracellular matrix composition (e.g. down-regulation of COL1A1, COL1A2, and up-regulation of collagen IV) and a decreased adipocyte differentiation (down-regulation of C1QTNF3). Altered gene expression in the three major muscle compartments (e.g. fibers, connective tissue and intramuscular adipose tissue) is in agreement with the well known characteristics of DM cattle. In addition, novel potential targets of the myostatin gene were identifed. Thus, the myostatin loss-of-function mutation affected several physiological processes involved in the development and the determinism of the functional characteristics of the muscle tissue. Transcriptomic profiling of Semitendinosus (ST) muscle of three double-muscled fetuses were analyzed relative to three conventional fetuses. Each individual sample was compared to a reference pool. Four chips were hybridized per sample comparison.

Project description:Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma was histopathologically confirmed on 35 samples obtained by incisional biopsy. Total RNAs from frozen specimens were isolated using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen Corporation, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer protocol. RNA quality was verified by electrophoresis through agarose gel upon visualization with ethidium bromide and only RNA samples with a ratio >1 for 28S/18S ribosomal RNA were further processed. A two-round RNA amplification procedure was carried out. Normal larynx and hypopharynx samples was used as reference for hybridizations, these samples were processed in the same manner as tumor samples. Amplified RNA were then used in a transcriptase reverse reaction into cDNA in the presence of Cy3- or Cy5-labeled dCTP Keywords: other

Project description:A mouse hepatoma cell line (Hepa1-6 cells, ATCC) was grown in T-25 tissue culture flasks (Corning) at 37ºC in 5% CO2 under two conditions. The first condition was the control, which contained DMEM medium (Gibco BRL) with 25 mM glucose, 4 mM glutamine, 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Sigma), and 10% CPSR-3 (Sigma). The second condition was identical to the first, however the glutamine concentration was altered periodically. Once the cells had grown to confluency, the experiment began at 9:30 PM by exchanging the medium in all flasks. The control flasks received the same medium, containing 4 mM glutamine, while the experimental flasks received identical medium with no glutamine. Twenty-four hours later, the medium was exchanged again, however this time all flasks received medium containing 4 mM glutamine. The first medium exchange was repeated at 48 hours into the experiment, while the second was repeated at 72 hours into the experiment. Hence the glutamine concentration of the experimental flasks oscillated between 0 mM and 4 mM glutamine over 96 hours, while the glutamine concentration of the control flasks remained constant at 4 mM glutamine. At regular intervals, the flasks were sampled. Total RNA was isolated, medium samples were retained, and isotopic measurements were performed from flasks fed different labelled compounds. All samples taken during the experiment were analyzed. The total RNA harvested was labeled and hybridized to DNA microarrays to measure the abundance of transcripts present. Total RNA control samples were labeled using Cy3 dCTP (Perkin-Elmer), and total RNA experimental samples were labeled using Cy5 dCTP (Perkin-Elmer) during reverse transcription. For reverse transcription 10 ug of total RNA was aliquoted into a 6 uL volume. If concentration of the RNA was necessary, this was conducted using a speed vacufuge (Eppendorf) at 60ºC for 10 minutes. The RNA sample was then mixed with 2 uL of 10X Cy-labeled dCTP, 2 uL of 100 mM DTT (Invitrogen), 4 uL of 5X First Strand Buffer (Invitrogen), 2 uL of a dNTP mixture containing 5 mM dGTP, dATP, dTTP and 2 mM dCTP (Invitrogen), 2 uL of 0.5 mg/ mL oligo-dT18-20 (Invitrogen), and 2 uL of Superscript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). This reaction mixture was incubated at 42ºC for approximately two hours. Following the reverse transcription reaction, the RNA template was degraded by addition of 2 uL of 1 N NaOH and incubation at 65 ºC for 10 minutes. The alkaline conditions were then neutralized by addition of 2 uL of 1 N HCl. Samples from identical time points that were to be compared on DNA microarrays were then mixed. The combined sample was cleaned to remove extra primers and nucleotides using a QIAquick Nucleotide Removal kit as described by the manufacturer's instructions. Once cleaned, the sample was concentrated using a speed vacufuge (Eppendorf) for 20 minutes at 65ºC. Following concentration, the sample was resuspended in 32 uL of prewarmed hybridization buffer (Clontech Laboratories), 1 uL was removed for quantitation, and hybridized to prepared oligonucleotide microarrays. Hybridization occurred overnight at 55 ºC using Corning hybridization chambers. The following day the arrays were washed in Glass Hybridization Wash Solution (Clontech Laboratories), and then in 1X SSC, and finally 0.1X SSC. Each wash step was conducted for 20 minutes under high agitation. The arrays were dried by centrifugation and scanned using GenePix 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments). The resulting data was downloaded and formatted in Excel (Microsoft), and then analyzed using Matlab (The MathWorks, Inc.). The arrays used for hybridization were prepared using GAPS glass slides (Corning), and a Virtek arrayer (Bio-Rad). These arrays contained 17,280 features, printed from a synthesized oligonucleotide mouse library (Operon). Briefly, the library was resuspended in 3X SSC, centrifuged, and loaded into the arrayer. Arrays were printed using 32 pins (Telechem), at approximately 50% humidity. Once printed, the probes were crosslinked to the glass slides using a UV Stratalinker (Stratagene). The slides were then blocked for 15 minutes in a 250 mL mixture containing 15.7 g/ L succinic anhydride, 239 mL 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and 10.7 mL of 1 M boric acid, pH 8.0. They were cleaned by rinsing in 250 mL of milli-Q water (X2), followed by 250 mL of 95% ethanol. They were finally dried using filtered air and stored in the dark at room temperature.

Project description:To better understand the problems associated with cloning, gene expression profiling of AI- and SCNT-derived bovine (day 25 of pregnancy) fetuses was performed. The embryonic disc and the extraembryonic tissues for each fetus were analyzed separately using a bovine oligoarray. Clustering of all the expression profiles showed clustering by tissue, but no separation of AI vs. SCNT samples was observed. Statistical analysis using a mixed model revealed 188 differentially expressed genes between the extraembryonic tissues and 10 differentially expressed genes between the embryonic discs of AI- and SCNT-derived fetuses. Between the tissue types >9,000 genes showed differential expression, of which 2,127 that showed >=2-fold difference in expression. The data generated in the current experiment clearly shows that the main problem with SCNT pregnancies is related to abnormal gene expression in the extraembryonic tissues.

Project description:We present the application of large-scale multivariate mixed-model equations to the joint analysis of nine gene expression experiments in beef cattle muscle and fat tissues with a total of 147 hybridizations, and exploring 47 experimental conditions or treatments. Using a correlation-based method, we constructed a gene network for 822 genes. Modules of muscle structural proteins and enzymes, extracellular matrix, fat metabolism and protein synthesis were clearly evident. Detailed analysis of the network identified groupings of proteins on the basis of physical association. For example, expression of three components of the z-disk, MYOZ1, TCAP and PDLIM3, was significantly correlated. In contrast, expression of these z-disk proteins was not highly correlated with the expression of a cluster of thick (myosins) and thin (actin and tropomyosins) filament proteins, or titin, the third major filament system. However, expression of titin was itself not significantly correlated with the cluster of thick and thin filament proteins and enzymes. Correlation in expression of many fast twitch muscle structural proteins and enzymes was observed, but slow twitch specific proteins were not correlated with the fast twitch proteins or with each other. In addition, a number of significant associations between genes and transcription factors were also identified. Our results not only recapitulate the known biology of muscle, but have also started to reveal some of the underlying associations between and within the structural components of skeletal muscle.
