Functional genomics study of acute heat stress response in the small yellow follicles of layer-type chickens.

ABSTRACT: This study investigated global gene and protein expression in the small yellow follicle (SYF; 6-8?mm in diameter) tissues of chickens in response to acute heat stress. Twelve 30-week-old layer-type hens were divided into four groups: control hens were maintained at 25?°C while treatment hens were subjected to acute heat stress at 36?°C for 4?h without recovery, with 2-h recovery, and with 6-h recovery. SYFs were collected at each time point for mRNA and protein analyses. A total of 176 genes and 93 distinct proteins with differential expressions were identified, mainly associated with the molecular functions of catalytic activity and binding. The upregulated expression of heat shock proteins and peroxiredoxin family after acute heat stress is suggestive of responsive machineries to protect cells from apoptosis and oxidative insults. In conclusion, both the transcripts and proteins associated with apoptosis, stress response, and antioxidative defense were upregulated in the SYFs of layer-type hens to alleviate the detrimental effects by acute heat stress. However, the genomic regulations of specific cell type in response to acute heat stress of SYFs require further investigation.

Project description:Heat stress (HS) is one of the main environmental factors affecting the efficiency of poultry production. The yellow-feather chickens (YFC) as an indigenous strain of chicken is a popular poultry breed in China. Our previous study used the RNA-seq to analyze the gene expression profiles of male YFC under HS and showed that the lipid and energy metabolism pathways are activated in livers of YFC exposed to acute HS (38°C, 4 h and 25°C recovery 2 h). In this study, we used quantitative proteome analysis based on iTRAQ to study the liver response of YFC to cycle chronic HS (38 ± 1°C, 8 h/d, 7 d, CyCHS). The male YFCs treatment used the CyCHS from 22 to 28 days of age. The liver tissue samples were collected at 28 d old. A total of 39,327 unique peptides matches were detected using iTRAQ analysis and 4,571 proteins exhibited a false discovery rate of 1% or less. Forty-six significant differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were detected in the CyCHS group compared with the control group for the liver samples, including up- and down-regulated DEPs were 18 and 28, respectively. We found that the enriched biological process terms of the DEPs expressed in the liver were related to DNA metabolic process, oxidation-reduction process, oxidative stress and gluconeogenesis. In KEGG pathway analysis. Most of the hepatic DEPs were annotated to glutathione metabolism and TCA cycle in response to CyCHS. The up-regulation of 5 DEPs (GPX1, GSTT1, GSTT1L, RRM2, and LOC100859645) in the glutathione metabolism pathway likely reflects an attempt to deal with oxidative damage by CyCHS. The down-regulation of 3 DEPs (Isocitrate dehydrogenase [IDH3A], IDH3B, and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1) in the TCA cycle pathway contributes to the regulation mechanism of energy metabolism and probably to cope with the balance of heat production and dissipation during CyCHS in order to adapt to high temperature environments. Our results provide insights into the potential molecular mechanism in heat-induced oxidative stress and energy in YFCs and future studies will investigate the functional genes associated with the response to HS.
