Project description:In this study, mass spectrometry was used to explore the canine tear proteome. Tear samples were obtained from six healthy dogs, and one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS-PAGE) was used as a first step to separate intact proteins into 17 bands. Each fraction was then trypsin digested and analysed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS/MS) to characterize the protein components in each fraction. In total, 125 tear proteins were identified, with MCA (Major Canine Allergen), Serum albumin, UPF0557 protein C10orf119 homolog, Collagen alpha-2(I) chain, Tyrosine -protein kinase Fer, Keratine type II cytoskeletal, Beta-crystallin B2, Interleukin-6 and Desmin occuring as the most confident ones with the highest scores. The results showed that the proteomic strategy used in this study was successful in the analysis of the dog tear proteome. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report the comprehensive proteome profile of tears from healthy dogs by 1D SDS PAGE and MALDI-TOF.

Project description:Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), the most common form of inherited neuromuscular disorder, is caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene leading to progressive muscle loss. Secondary changes in signaling pathways and energy metabolism are aggravating factors. Thus, for the evaluation of novel therapeutic approaches, it is essential to analyse the reversal of both primary and secondary abnormalities in treated muscle. MuStem cells constitute a new progenitor cell population proposed as a source of cells for a therapeutic strategy. When injected in Golden Retriever Muscular Dystrophy (GRMD) dogs, MuStem cells contribute to myofiber regeneration, satellite cell replenishment, and dystrophin expression. This cell therapy leads to muscle damage course limitation with an increased regeneration activity and an interstitial expansion restriction, and persisting stabilization of the dog's clinical status. In this study, we used isotope-coded protein labeling (ICPL) to compare the protein expression profiles of muscles coming from three different types of dogs: healthy, GRMD and GRMD after injection of MuStem cells. Based on the comparison of three biological replicates, these triplex ICPL experiments led to the identification of proteins differentially expressed after treatment. This study contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of MuStem cells.

Project description:Canine tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy caused by several weeks of rapid ventricular pacing is a well-established animal model of congestive heart failure. However, little is known about the underlying changes in gene expression that occur in the canine myocardium after the induction of heart failure. This project aims to compare expression profiles in left ventricular free wall samples from control dogs and dogs with pacing-induced heart failure on the custom MuscleChip. Keywords: other

Project description:The complexity and low accessibility of the human brain make it challenging to understand its development, function, and disorders. Brain diseases including neurodegenerative disease and psychiatric diseases incur huge medical and social burdens without effective treatments. While mouse has substantially contributed to our current understanding of brain, the translational value of mouse models may limit to certain aspects of a disease due to the apparent differences in brain structure (gyrencephalic versus lissencephalic) and behavior between mice and humans. Nonhuman primates are, in theory, the best animals to understand human brains. However, monkeys are extremely expensive and inefficient to reproduce (5 years to reach sexual maturity and only one progeny per pregnancy). Dogs have similar gyrencephalic brain structure as humans. Due to the human selection and domestication, dogs have developed exquisite and complex dog-human heterospecific social capabilities. For example, dogs can learn by observing human social and communicative behaviors such as a pointing gesture to find hidden food. Indeed, psychologists have learned that average dogs can count, reason and recognize words and gestures on par with a human 2-year-old. Compared with nonhuman primates, dogs have relatively lower costs of husbandry and shorter breeding times, with multiple offspring per pregnancy. Given that gene editing and animal cloning by somatic nuclear transfer have been available in dogs in recent years and other advantages described above, dogs are thus a potential model for studying human brain development and disease. However, to what extent the dog brain is conserved with the human brain at the molecular level remains unclear.

Project description:Free-breeding dogs have occupied the Galápagos islands at least since the 1830s, however, it was not until the 1900s that dog populations grew substantially, endangering wildlife and spreading disease. In 1981, authorities sanctioned the culling of free-roaming dogs. Yet there are currently large free-roaming dog populations of unknown ancestry on the islands of Isabela and Santa Cruz, whose ancestry has never been assessed on a genome-wide scale. Thus, we performed a complete genomic analysis of the current Galápagos dog population as well as historical Galápagos dogs sampled between 1969 and 2003, testing for population structure, admixture, and shared ancestry. Our dataset included samples from 187 modern and six historical Galápagos dogs, together with whole genome sequence from over 2,000 modern purebred and village dogs. Our results indicate that modern Galápagos dogs are recently admixed with purebred dogs but show no evidence of a population bottleneck related to the culling. Additionally, IBD analyses reveal evidence of shared shepherd-dog ancestry in the historical Galápagos dogs. Overall, our results demonstrate that the 1980s culling of dogs was ineffective in controlling population size and did little to reduce genetic diversity, instead producing a stable and expanding population with genomic signatures of historical dogs remaining today. The insights from this study can be used to improve population control strategies for the Galápagos Islands and other endangered endemic communities worldwide.

Project description:Diverse dataset of 1247 dogs from many breeds and wolves used to investigate the origins of dog domestication DNA for 1228 dogs from 35 breeds and 19 wolves was extracted from whole blood samples and genotyped on the Affymetrix Canine v2 Arrays. Genotypes were called using Affymetrix's snp5-probeset-genotype software and the BRLMM-P calling algorithm. The included breed designations are owner reported.
