Project description:Background: Muscle responses to exercise are complex, and potentially include acute responses to exercise-induced injury as well as longer-term adaptive training responses. Using Alaskan sled dogs as an experimental model, changes in muscle gene expression were analyzed to better understand the temporal changes that occur after severe exercise. Methods: Dogs were randomly assigned to undertake in a 160 km run (n=9), or to remain at rest (n=4). Biceps femoris muscle was obtained by needle biopsy from the unexercised dogs and two dogs at each of 2, 6 and 12 hours after the exercise and from 3 dogs 24 hours after exercise. RNA was extracted and microarray analysis used to define gene transcriptional changes. Results: Nine hundred sixty three transcripts exhibited statistically significant change over time after exercise as compared to the unexercised dogs. The changes in gene expression after exercise occurred in a clear temporal pattern and included transcripts with increased expression 2 hours after exercise with a return towards resting levels by 6 hours after exercise. Other transcripts demonstrated increased expression which peaked at six hours after exercise, while other transcripts showed sustained induction or repression over the 24 hours after exercise. Increases in a number of known transcriptional regulators, including PPAR-α, CERM and CEBPD, were observed 2-hours after exercise. Pathway analysis demonstrated coordinated changes in expression of genes with known functional relationships, including genes involved in muscle remodeling and growth, intermediary metabolism and immune regulation. Conclusion: Sustained endurance exercise by Alaskan sled dogs induces coordinated changes in gene expression with a clear temporal pattern. RNA expression profiling has the potential to identify novel regulatory mechanisms and responses to exercise stimuli. Subjects were 13 Alaskan sled dogs aged 4.5 + 2.5 years (mean + SD) and weighing 23.3 + 2.5 kg. Dogs were randomly assigned to two groups â one group of 9 dogs subsequently ran 160 km in 24 hours as 2 sessions of 80 km, separated by a 6 hour rest period. The second group consisted of four dogs housed in unheated kennels, their usual housing, for the duration of the experiment. All dogs were from the same kennel. Dogs were fed a commercial kibble (Eukanuba, Iams Company, Dayton, OH) supplemented with frozen meat during the 8 weeks preceding the study and throughout the study period. The dogâs diet was consistent before, during and after the exercise bout. All dogs had completed 1590 + 100 km of training runs in the 3 months before the study. The dogs had not exercised for 72 hors before the start of this study. Dogs in the exercise group ran as a team pulling a lightly laden sled and driver over packed snow. Ambient temperatures were -20o to -10o C with no wind. Dogs completed the two 80 km runs in 23 hours, including the 6 hour rest period. Blood samples were collected by jugular venepuncture from all dogs the day before exercise, and within a 10 minute window at 2, 6, 12, and 24 hours after completing the second run. Samples were collected into evacuated glass tubes containing a clot enhancer. Muscle samples were collected from each of two dogs within a 10 minute window at 2, 6 and 12 hours after completing exercise and from three dogs 24 hours after completing exercise. Muscle samples were collected from each of the four unexercised dogs within two hours of the other dogs initiating their exercise bout. Each dog had only one biopsy procedure performed. Muscle samples were collected from the biceps femoris muscle using a needle biopsy that yielded approximately 40-60 mg of muscle. The biopsy was performed after clipping and aseptic preparation of the skin overlying the biopsy site. The dog was anesthetized with propofol (6 mg/kg, IV, maintained as necessary with 2 mg/kg additional boluses), a cuffed orotracheal tube placed and the dog ventilated with a hand-held ventilation bag. When adequate anesthesia had been obtained a 5 mm incision was made in the skin. A sterile biopsy needle (12 g PGI EZ Core, Products group International, Inc. Lyons, CO) was then inserted through the incision and a sample of muscle collected. If necessary, repeated collections of muscle were made until a minimum of 40 mg of muscle has been collected from an individual dog. The skin incision was closed with tissue glue and an antibiotic ointment applied. The dog was monitored closely until recovery from anesthesia was complete. Carprofen (4.4 mg/kg, orally) was administered when the dog had recovered sufficiently from anesthesia to have a gag reflex.

Project description:DNA structural variation (SV) comprises a major portion of genetic diversity, but its biological impact is unclear. We propose that the genetic history and extraordinary phenotypic variation of dogs make them an ideal mammal in which to study the effects of SV on biology and disease. The hundreds of existing dog breeds were created by selection of extreme morphological and behavioral traits. And along with those traits, each breed carries increased risk for different diseases. We used array CGH to create the first map of DNA copy number variation (CNV) or SV in dogs. The extent of this variation, and some of the gene classes affected, are similar to those of mice and humans. Most canine CNVs affect genes, including disease and candidate disease genes, and are thus likely to be functional. We identified many CNVs that may be breed or breed class specific. Cluster analysis of CNV regions showed that dog breeds tend to group according to breed classes. Our combined findings suggest many CNVs are (1) in linkage disequilibrium with flanking sequence, and (2) associated with breed specific traits. We discuss how a catalog of structural variation in dogs will accelerate the identification of the genetic basis of canine traits and diseases, beginning with the use of whole genome association and candidate CNV/gene approaches.

Project description:Purpose: The transcriptome profiles were compared among groups of chronic stress exposure and control in two different breeds to identify genes and pathways related to response to chronic stress in the pituitary-adrenal axis. Methods: 6 male adult CFD and 6 Beagles were chosen at random with the similarities in good health, weight and other aspects. Separately, 3 of these two breeds were freely selected for the stress exposure via intermittent electrical stimulation and restraint stress, while the other 3 of these two breeds were non-disposed for normal control.The details for the disposal of dogs were: every morning dogs were restrained and electrical stimulations were exerted with a stable current of 10 mA for 6 s and then with a 6 s interval, lasting for 20 min every day. The duration of disposal was ten days.ll 12 dogs were killed by air embolism in the 11th day. Subsequently, pituitary and adrenal cortex tissues were fast collected and isolated for further high-sequencing. Results: 8 cDNA libraries were constructed for RNA-seq. A number of reads ranging from 53,295,978 to 65,414,932 was obtained in those 8 groups. About 10,000 genes and transcripts were annotated in each group. Besides,A total of 40, 346, 376, 69, 70, 38, 57, and 71 DEGs were detected in the contrasts of BP1_vs_BP2, CFDP1_vs_CFDP2, BP1_vs_CFDP1, BP2_vs_CFDP2, BAC1_vs_BAC2, CFDAC1_vs_CFDAC2, BAC1_vs_CFDAC1, and BAC2_vs_CFDAC2, respectively. Conclusions: Our results can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding about the genetic mechanisms of response to chronic stress in adrenal cortex and pituitary. Adrenal cortex and pituitary mRNA profiles of adult Chinese Field Dog and Beagle under chronic stress exposure and normal control, including BAC1 (Beagle adrenal cortex with disposal), BAC2 (Beagle adrenal cortex with non-disposal), BP1 (Beagle pituitary with disposal), BP2 (Beagle pituitary with non-disposal), CFDAC1 (Chinese Field Dog adrenal cortex with disposal), CFDAC2 (Chinese Field Dog adrenal cortex with non-disposal), CFDP1 (Chinese Field Dog pituitary with disposal), CFDP2 (Chinese Field Dog pituitary with non-disposal), were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.

Project description:Dog breeding promotes within-group homogeneity through conformation to strict breed standards and also drives between-group heterogeneity in pursuit of distinct morphological forms and characteristic breed traits. In this study, the genotype-first approach was adapted to the dog genome to investigate coding variation from over 2000 dogs, leading to discoveries of new mutations related to craniofacial morphology and stature. Breed enriched variants were prioritized according to gene constraint, which was calculated using a mutation model derived from trinucleotide substitution probabilities in the dog. Most priority variants were not associated with genomic signatures for breed differentiation, as these regions were enriched for constrained genes intolerant to nonsynonymous variation, suggesting a model of breed phenotype diversification based on regulatory changes to essential genes. Identification of trait-associated variants in dogs informs new biological roles of genes. Improved collection of breed disease risk data, along with increased breed representation, will drive further discoveries.

Project description:Sexual development in mammals is based on a complicated and delicate network of genes and hormones that have to collaborate in a precise manner. The dark side of this pathway is represented by pathological conditions, wherein sexual development does not occur properly either in the XX and the XY background. Among them a conundrum is represented by the XX individuals with at least a partial testis differentiation even in absence of SRY. This particular condition is present in various mammals including the dog. Seven dogs characterized by XX karyotype, absence of SRY gene and testicular tissue development were analysed by Array-CGH. In two cases the array-CGH analysis detected an interstitial heterozygous duplication of chromosome 9. The duplication contained the SOX9 coding region.In this work we provide for the first time a causative mutation for the XXSR condition in the dog. Moreover this report supports the idea that the dog represents a good animal model for the study of XXSR condition caused by abnormalities in the SOX9 locus. Seven dogs from different breeds have been considered in this study. All clinical activities and surgical experiments on the dogs were carried out following the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science AssociationM-bM-^@M-^Ys recommendations and European Union legislation (Council Directive 86/609/EEC). During the research no animals were sacrificed. Array-CGH was performed using a custom Agilent Canine Genome CGH Microarray 180 K (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA) and processed according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol. The arrays were analyzed with the Agilent scanner and the Feature Extraction software (v10.7.3.1). A graphical overview was obtained using the CGH analytics software (v7.0.4.0). The DNA extracted from a normal female (boxer breed) was used as the control in all cases. Sox9 duplications detected by array CGH were confirmed by Real-Time-qPCR .

Project description:Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a tick-borne infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi. Dogs are at high risk of exposure to ticks and tick-borne pathogens, including B. burgdorferi. Immunodiagnostic assays are usually based on whole-cell preparations of B. burgdorferi as substrate and, consequently, interpretation of results is confounded by antibody cross-reactivity between borrelial antigens and other bacterial species, as well as the anti-LB vaccination status of the dog. For this study, we examined sera from 33 dogs that were experimentally infected with B. burgdorferi through tick bite. These sera were compared with sera from uninfected dogs in their reactivities to 72 different recombinant B. burgdorferi polypeptides on a protein microarray. Amongst antigens frequently recognized by infected dogs were several known to be immunogens for humans, such as Decorin-binding protein A (BBA25), BBA64, fibronectin-binding protein (BBK32), VlsE, Erp and Bdr, CRASP proteins, OspC proteins and some flagellar antigens. Of special interest were the novel antigens BBB14 and BB0844, both hypothetical lipoproteins about which very little is currently known, and that were frequently and strongly recognized by infected dog sera. The antibody response of B. burgdorferi-infected dogs presents both similarities and differences from human counterparts, and both can be important for improvement of canine LB diagnosis and vaccine development. Antibody profiling was performed on sera from dogs experimentally-infected with B. burgdorferi and unexposed controls against antigens of B. burgdorferi. Thirty-three serum samples from experimental infections, and 6 unexposed controls were probed on a protein microarray displaying 72 unique proteins of B. burgdorferi .
