Project description:The knowledge of the genetic architecture behind feed efficiency would allow to breed more efficient animals maximizing farm profitability and reducing the environmental impact of animal production. This study analyzes high throughput gene expression data from milk samples to determine key genes and biological mechanisms associated to feed efficiency in dairy sheep.A detailed description of the sheep management practices and calculations for the feed efficiency index (FEI) are detailed in 10.3168/jds.2020-19061. For these analyses, we selected animals with divergent FEI values from a group of 40 lactating Assaf ewes. RNA-Seq was performed on milk somatic cell samples from 8 high feed efficiency sheep (H-FE), FEI = −0.29 (SD = 0.23), RFI = −0.16 (SD = 0.25), and 8 low feed efficiency sheep (L-FE), FEI = 0.81 (SD = 0.24), RFI = 0.19 (SD = 0.24)).

Project description:Lambs that inherit a callipyge allele from their dam have an up-regulation of maternally imprinted transcripts near the callipyge mutation but do not exhibit muscle hypertrophy. It is not clear what effects these maternally expressed transcripts have in the muscle or how the inheritance of a maternal callipyge allele prevents the expression of the callipyge phenotype which is seen paternal heterozygotes only. This experiment utilized bovine gene expression arrays to profile the gene expression of the semimembranosus muscle of 30 day old half-sibling lambs of all four possible genotypes with respect to the callipyge allele (+/+, C/+, +/C, and C/C). Experiment Overall Design: 10 lambs were used for this study. N=3 biological reps for C/C genotype, N=3 biological reps for Cmat/+ genotype, N=2 biological reps for +/Cpat genotype, and N=2 biological reps for +/+ genotype. Pairwise contrasts were performed to analyze the presence of a maternally inherited callipyge allele and the effect on a homozygous animal (+/C vs CC; +/+ vs C/+; and C/+ vs C/C). Experiment Overall Design: These data make up two experiments. Experiment Overall Design: [1] The maternal allele (4 genotype) experiment compares all four possible genotypes of a particular allele at one age and one tissue (30 days semimembranosus). Experiment Overall Design: [2] The paternal allele (2 genotype) experiment compares only the NC and the NN genotypes in one tissue (SM) across 4 ages (10, 20, 30, and 80 days). Experiment Overall Design: Images were interpreted with Microarray Suite version 5.0 (MAS5.0) in GCOS with no scaling or normalization (i.e., Samples GSM298143-GSM298164). Images were also interpreted by RMA using Bioconductor package of R (i.e., Samples GSM298165-GSM298186).

Project description:Developmental programming is the concept that environmental factors, particularly during foetal life, can alter development, metabolism and physiology of an organism and this can have consequences later in life. There is growing interest in developmental programming in livestock species, particularly effects of maternal pregnancy nutrition, which is easy to manipulate. Recent research, using a sheep model, has shown that milk production in ewe offspring may be susceptible to maternal nutritional programming, such that over nutrition (ad libitum) of the pregnant dam, compared with maintenance nutrition, may impair their first lactation performance and result in the weaning of lighter lambs. RNA-seq was performed to identify gene expression differences as a result of maternal nutrition in ewe offspring during their first parity. Samples were collected in late pregnancy and during lactation, allowing us to examine gene expression changes during maturation of the ovine mammary gland. Three biological replicates were sequenced for each of the treatment conditions (maternal nutrition: sub-maintenance, maintenance, and ad libitum) and time points (late pregnancy and lactation). Each biological replicate consisted of RNA from multiple individuals (late pregnancy n=3, lactation n=2).

Project description:In mammals, the final maturation and transport of gametes, fertilization and early embryo development take place in the oviducts. Bisphenol S (BPS) is a substitute for bisphenol A in plastic manufacturing and, as a potential endocrine disruptor, may alter the oviduct physiology. Furthermore, bisphenols are fat-soluble and can accumulate in fatty tissues. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a daily dietary exposure to BPS combined with a contrasted diet on the oviduct fluid (OF) proteome using an ovine model. Eighty adult cyclic ewes were allotted to four groups (20/group): over-fed consuming in their diet 50 µg/kg/day of BPS, under-fed consuming 50 µg/kg/day of BPS, and non-exposed controls in each diet group. After three months, the mean body condition score and plasma levels of glucose and non-esterified fatty acids were significantly higher in over- than in under-fed females. The proteins in collected OF samples (50 µg) were analyzed by nanoliquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS). Overall, 1563 proteins were identified, among which 848 were quantified. Principal component analysis of data revealed a clear discrimination of samples according to the diet and a segregation between BPS-exposed and non-exposed females in over-fed ewes. Hierarchical clustering of differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) identified two clusters of 101 and 78 DAPs according to the diet. Pairwise comparisons between groups revealed a stronger effect of BPS in over- than in under-fed females (70 vs. 24 DAPs) and a stronger effect of the diet in BPS-exposed than non-exposed females (56 vs. 36 DAPs). Functional analysis of DAPs showed an enrichment in metabolic processes, immune system, cell response to stress, and reproductive processes. This work highlights for the first time the important impact of BPS on the oviduct proteome with bigger effects in over- than underweight females.

Project description:Disordered angiogenesis is implicated in the pulmonary vascular remodeling secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD). However, the underlying genes are not well delineated. We have previously shown that an ovine model of CHD with increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF, Shunt) has an M-bM-^@M-^\angiogenesis burstM-bM-^@M-^] between 1-4 weeks of age. Thus, we hypothesized that the increased pulmonary blood flow elicited a pro-angiogenic gene expression profile prior to the onset of vessel growth. To test this we utilized microarray analysis to identify genes that could be responsible for the angiogenic response. Total RNA was isolated from the lungs of Shunt and Control lambs at 3 days of age and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips for microarray analyses (n=8 for each group). A total of 89 angiogenesis-related genes were found to be up-regulated and 26 angiogenesis-related genes down-regulated in Shunt lungs compared to control (cutting at 1.2 fold difference, P<0.05). We then confirmed the up-regulation of pro-angiogenic genes: FGF2, Angiopoietin2 (Angpt2), and Birc5 at both mRNA and protein levels and the up-regulation of ccl2 at mRNA level in the 3-day shunt lungs. Further, we found that pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) isolated from juvenile lambs exhibited increased expression of FGF2, Angpt2, Birc5, and ccl2 as well as enhanced angiogenesis when exposed to elevated shear stress (35 dyn/cm2) compared to cells exposed to more physiological level shear stress (20 dyn/cm2). Finally, we demonstrated that blocking FGF2, Angpt2, or Birc 5 signaling, using neutralizing antibodies, significantly decreased the angiogenic response induced by shear stress. In conclusion, we have identified a pro-angiogenic gene expression profile in a lamb model of CHD with increased PBF that precedes the onset of pulmonary vascular remodeling. Further, our data indicate that FGF2, Angiopoietin2, Birc5, and ccl2 may play important roles in the angiogenic response. Total RNA was isolated from the lungs of Shunt and Control lambs at 3 days of age and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChips for microarray analyses. Eight chips were employed for both control and shunt groups.

Project description:Bisphenol S (BPS) is a substitute for bisphenol A in plastic manufacturing, the BPA being an endocrine disruptor that alters granulosa cell (GC) functions. Furthermore, bisphenols are able to modulate lipid metabolism and adipogenesis. The aim of this study was therefore to characterise the effects of chronic exposure to BPS on the proteome of ewe GCs considering the interaction between metabolism and reproductive function. Forty adult cyclic ewes were divided into two groups with contrasted diets: restricted (R, n=20) and well-fed (WF, n=20). Within each group, two subgroups were defined according to BPS exposure (0 and 50 µg/kg/day) to generate 4 final groups: R0 and R50 for the restricted ewes, WF0 and WF50 for the well-fed ewes. After three months, the mean body condition score and plasma levels of glucose and non-esterified fatty acids were significantly higher in well-fed than in restricted females. After synchronization of the ewes, GC samples were collected from preovulatory follicles, few hours before the presumptive ovulation. After washing of the cells, the proteins in collected GCs samples (50 µg) were analyzed by nanoliquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-MS/MS). Overall, 1004 proteins were identified, among which 882 were quantified. Principal component analysis of data revealed that all the conditions are quite distinct from one another, and there is a clear separation between ewes on a restricted diet and those on a well-fed diet. Hierarchical clustering of differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) identified five clusters of DAPs, and three cluster have unique protein profile for one condition. Functional analysis of DAPs showed an enrichment in metabolic processes, immune system and cell response to stress. This study is the first reporting and comparing the entire proteome of granulosa cells from ewes exposed or not to chronic BPS exposure with a contrasted diet.

Project description:Purpose: Nutrition is an important factor that regulates reproductive performance of sheep and affects follicle development. However, the correlation between nutrition and follicle development is poorly understood at molecular level. In order to study its possible molecular mechanisms, we performed expression profiling of granulosa cells isolated from sheep that were fed with different nutrition levels during luteal phase. Methods: To do this, ewes received a maintenance diet (M) and their estrus was synchronized by intravaginal progestogen sponges for 12 days. Ewes were randomly divided into the short-term dietary restricted group (R; 0.5ÃM) and nutrient-supplemented group (S; 1.5ÃM). RNA samples were extracted from granulosa cells. Transcriptome libraries from each group were constructed by Illumina Sequencing. Results: In 18,468 detected genes, 170 genes were significantly differentially expressed; of which, 140 genes were up-regulated and 30 genes were down-regulated in group S relative to group R. These genes could be candidates regulating follicular development in sheep. GO, KEGG and Clustering analyses were performed. Conclusions: These data in our study are abundant genomic recourse to expand our understanding of the molecular and cellular events underlying follicle development. Sixteen multiparous Hu sheep (3-4 years; 42.2 ± 1.2 kg) were randomly assigned to two groups: the short-term nutrient-supplemented group (S; n=8), and the dietary restricted group (R; n=8).Expression profiling of granulosa cells were performed by Illumina sequencing platform (HiSeq 2000).
