Project description:Artificial selection has resulted in animal breeds with extreme phenotypes. As an organism is made up of many different tissues and organs, each with its own genetic programme, it is pertinent to ask what are the relative contributions of breed or sex when assessed across tissues. Are all tissues equally affected by breed or sex? How relevant is tissue in terms of total transcriptome variability? Experiment Overall Design: In order to gain insight on these issues, we have microarrayed 16 different tissues hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays from four animals of the extreme pig breeds Large White and Iberian, two males and two females

Project description:Obese and lean-type pig breeds show obvious differences in adipose deposition and muscle growth; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenotypic variation remains unclear. Landrace (a leaner, Western breed), Rongchang (a fatty, Chinese breed) and Tibetan (a feral, indigenous Chinese breed that has not undergone artificial selection) pig breeds were used in this study. We collected eight diverse adipose tissues and two phenotypically distinct skeletal muscle tissues from three well-defined pig models with distinct fat rates, and studied mRNA expression differences among breeds, males and females, and tissues. These results highlight some possible candidate genes for porcine adipose deposition and muscle growth and provide some data on which to base further studies of the molecular basis of energy metabolism.

Project description:Background: Transcriptome variability is due to genetic and environmental causes, much like any other complex phenotype. Ascertaining the transcriptome differences between individuals is an important step to understand how selection and genetic drift may affect gene expression. To that end, extant divergent livestock breeds offer an ideal genetic material. Results: We have analyzed with microarrays five tissues from the endocrine axis (hypothalamus, adenohypophysis, thyroid gland, gonads and fat tissue) of 16 pigs from both sexes pertaining to four extreme breeds (Duroc, Large White, Iberian and a cross with SinoEuropean hybrid line). Using a Bayesian linear model approach, we observed that the largest breed variability corresponded to the male gonads, and was larger than at the remaining tissues, including ovaries. Measurement of sex hormones in peripheral blood at slaughter did not detect any breed-related differences. Not unexpectedly, the gonads were the tissue with the largest number of sex biased genes. There was a strong correlation between sex and breed bias expression, although the most breed biased genes were not the most sex biased genes. A combined analysis of connectivity and differential expression suggested three biological processes as being primarily different between breeds: spermatogenesis, muscle differentiation and several metabolic processes. Conclusion: These results suggest that differences across breeds in gene expression of the male gonads are larger than in other endocrine tissues in the pig. Nevertheless, the strong presence of breed biased genes in the male gonads cannot be explained solely by changes in spermatogenesis nor by differences in the reproductive tract development.

Experiment Overall Design: Sixteen animals, four from each of four breeds, Large White (LW), Duroc (DU), Youli (YL) and Iberian (IB) piglets were sampled. These breeds represent a wide genetic variability in current pig breeding schemes. There were two males and two females per breed except in Youli, represented by three males and one female. Animals were bought from three breeding companies and transferred to the University experimental farms at weaning, i.e., aged one month approximately. Pigs were housed simultaneously, fed the same diets during the fattening period, that lasted two months, and were weighed at weekly intervals. At the time of slaughter, the average ages were 87, 83, 80 and 89 days for Large White, Duroc, Youli and Iberian pigs, respectively. Their mean live weights at that time were 27.2 (LW), 23.1 (DU), 18.9 (YL) and 17.4 kg (IB). Experiment Overall Design: Animals were euthanized, after 24h fasting, by an overdose of intravenous sodium thiobarbital. At necropsy, tissue samples were collected, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ºC. The average time gap between euthanasia and tissue collection was ~ 15 minutes, maximum time was 25 minutes. The tissues collected were hypothalamus (HYPO), adenohypophysis (AHYP), which was separated from the neurohypophysis, thyroid gland (THYG), gonads (GONA) from both sexes, and back fat tissue (FATB). The hypothalamus included the mamillary body and grey tubercle but excluded the chiasma opticum. Throughout this work, each sample was identified by the acronym of the tissue followed by the animal id, e.g., FATBLWF1 refers to back fat tissue from female 1 Large White.

Project description:To further knowledge of piglet maturity, we have developed a microarray analysis to describe biological processes and to find candidate genes for key roles in piglet maturity. The objective was to identify which genes and biological processes are specifically involved in the difference between two extreme breeds: Large White (LW) and Meishan (MS). The LW breed is a selected breed known to show an increased rate of mortality at birth, while the MS breed presents more robust piglets at birth. MS and LW sows were inseminated with mixed semen (LW and MS) hence each litter was composed of pure fetuses (LW or MS) and crossed fetuses (LWMS from MS sows and MSLW from LW sows). To assay for changes in gene expression during piglet maturity, mRNA was isolated from 61 fetal skeletal muscle samples with 8 different conditions: two fetal gestational ages (90 or 110 days of gestation), associated with four genotypes (two extreme breeds for mortality at birth (MS and LW) and two crossed breeds (MSLW and LWMS)). MS fetuses are known to have a better survival at birth than LW fetuses. An understanding of maturity is possible with the comparison between the fetal gestational ages and between the two extreme breeds. The impact of parental genotypes is studied with the presence of crossed fetuses. After quality control and normalization, only 61 samples were conserved (represented here).

Project description:Here, we performed the first iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis of early embryonic longissimus dorsi muscle from Landrance (LR) and miniature pig (Wuzhishan WZS) ranging from 21 to 42 days post coitus (dpc). 4431 proteins were identified. In both WZS and LR, the largest amount of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were found between 28 and 35 dpc. 252 breed-DEPs were selected by GO analysis, including 8 myofibrillar proteins. Only MYHCⅠ/IIA mRNA were detected due to early embryonic stages, and significantly higher expression of them were found in WZS during these 4 stages. MYHCⅠ was first found in WZS at 28 dpc and expressed in both breeds at later stages, while MYHCII protein was not detected until 35 dpc in both breeds. Thus, 33 myogenic breed-DEPs selected from last two stages were analyzed by STRING, which showed that some myofibrillar proteins (MYH1, TPM4, MYH10, et.al) and functional proteins (CSRP2, CASQ2, OTC, et.al), together with candidate myogenic proteins (H3F3A, HDGFRP2, et.al), probably participate in the regulatory network of myofiber formation. Thus, our study provides new data on myofiber type development during early embryo stages, which contributes to the improved understanding in the regulation mechanism of early myogenesis in agricultural animals.

Project description:There are clear phenotypic differences between Korean native pig (KNP) and Yorkshire (YS) breeds because of different interests for selection. YS has been artificially selected by industrial interests such as a growth rate and a lean meat production, however, KNP has been maintained as a regional breed by local interests such as a fat content in or between muscle and a disease resistance. A comparison of gene expression profile from a major tissue liver can reflect the overall effects of the artificial selection between the two pig breeds through long history. KNP (n=4) and YS (n=4) pigs were raised under the identical conditions. Global gene expression levels were measured in liver samples from these pigs using Affymetrix porcine genome array containing 23,937 probe sets. The clustering analysis based on the individual transcriptome data showed a clear separation between two breeds in the liver tissue. We collected hepato-transcriptome data including 11,993 genes fully detected from four independent samples either in KNP or in YS. Based on both minimum positive false discovery rate (less than 15%) and fold change (|FC| > 1.5), 160 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were collected from the liver between the two breeds. The functional analysis of these DEGs indicated clear distinctions in intra- and extra-cellular structure, cell proliferation, membrane trafficking, glycolytic pathway, mitochondrial function, protein metabolism, and immune response. The functional characteristics based on the DEGs were useful indicators to explain the differences between these two breeds developed for the specific purposes each other. The hepatic DGEs indicate that the YS has been lost expressivity of genes not required for the fast growth but maintained expressivity of genes for lean muscle production. The tissue-wise gene expression profiles indicate that the liver could be a major place to make the economic distinction between these two pig breeds. Comparing gene expression profiles to discover differentially expressed genes from liver tissue of two different pig breeds: KNP (n=4) vs. YS (n=4).

Project description:This study is the first to report a genome-wide comparative DNA methylation map of adult pig sperm in three commercial pig breeds using WGBS technology. Our results showed that DNA methylation was more conserved in the three commercial pig breeds. Moreover, our results indicated that breed-specific HMRs are related to phenotypic changes and economically complex traits for each breed. The conserved HMRs between pig sperm and testis close to or located in the promoter regions of important genes are mainly involved in DNA repair and spermatogenesis.
