Ad Libitum Feeding in Broiler Breeder Hens Alters Transcriptome of Granulosa Cells of Prehierarchal Follicles

ABSTRACT: Intense selective breeding of broiler breeds of chickens has resulted in suboptimal egg production in broiler breeder hens. Ad libitum feeding which leads to excessive and disorganized follicular growth exacerbates this reproductive phenotype. One strategy used to improve broiler breeder hen reproductive efficiency is restricted feeding. In this study, we sought to identify transcriptional changes which translate level of dietary intake to increased follicle selection. Broiler breeder hens were raised according to commercial guidelines until 28 weeks of age and then randomly assigned to an ad libitum diet (FF) or continued on a restricted diet (RF) for 6 weeks. Following dietary treatment, granulosa cells from growing 6-8 mm follicles from FF hens (n=3) and RF hens (n=3) were collected, RNA was extracted, and samples were processed for RNA-sequencing on Illumina NextSeq 500. Transcriptomes of granulosa cells from 6-8 mm follicles were sequenced to identify transcriptional differences in the population from which follicles are selected into the preovulatory stage. FastQ files were first processed through trim-galore and reads were aligned to the Galgal6 genome using the RNA-seq aligner, STAR. A cluster analysis using hclust in R identified a FF sample as an outlier and this sample was removed from the analysis. Differential expression analysis was conducted using DeSEQ2 and resulted in 350 differentially expressed genes. Several genes involved in follicle selection were upregulated in prehierarchal follicles of FF hens, suggesting an effect of dietary treatment at early stages in follicle development.

Feeding Level Is Associated With Altered Liver Transcriptome and Follicle Selection in the Hen

Project description:Broiler breeder hens given ad libitum access to feed have excessive ovarian follicle development with poor reproductive outcome. One strategy to improve their reproductive capacity is by restricting their feed intake. In this study, we sequenced the liver transcriptomes of hens fed ad libitum (FF, n=3) and hens given a restricted fed diet (RF, n=3) to get insight into possible signaling pathways affected by dietary treatment. Hens were reared according to commercial guidelines until 38 weeks of age, when they were assigned to either FF or continued on RF for 6 weeks. Liver mRNA samples from three hens in each group were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000/2500 technology at a depth of 100 bp. The sequencing quality of the data was determined using FastQC. Reads were aligned to UCSC Galgal4 using Tophat (v2.0.13) and transcripts were counted using cuffdiff (v.2.2.1). A multidimensional scaling plot (MDS plot) was generated to evaluate the variance among biological replicates and identified one FF hen as a sample outlier and this animal was removed from the analysis. Differential gene expression analysis was conducted using edgeR and yielded 120 differentially expressed genes. This study identified transcriptional differences in the livers of FF and RF hens which may signal metabolic status to the ovary.

Expression data from ad libitum or restricted fed 16-week old broiler breeder hens

Project description:Ovarian dysfunction is observed in broiler breeder hens fed ad libitum that is most apparent by a reduction in fertility success. Restricting caloric intake in these hens is currently the only effective treatment to improve reproductive efficiency. This analysis sought to determine the transcriptional changes in the ovarian cortex of prepubertal hens given full access to feed (FF) or were placed on a restricted feed (RF) diet. Microarrays were employed to detail the differences in global gene expression that underlie the ovarian dysfunction observed in ad libitum fed hens.

Global comparative analysis on proteomes of chicken ovarian follicles before and after follicle selection

Project description:Ovarian follicle selection plays an important role in the reproduction of sexually mature hens, and this process can directly affect the growth and development of follicles until the final ovulation, thus affecting laying performance and fecundity of hens. In the laying hen ovary, one follicle from a cohort of 8-13 follicles of 6-8 mm in diameter is selected daily to enter the preovulatory hierarchy. In this study, we globally compared the proteomes of chicken ovarian follicles before and after follicle selection. A total of 5883 proteins were identified in the proteomes of chicken 6-8 mm prehierarchical follicles and 12-15 mm hierarchical follicles. 259 proteins are differentially expressed in 12-15 mm hierarchical follicle compared with prehierarchical follicle, of which 175 proteins are up-regulated and 84 proteins are down-regulated. The Gene Ontology enrichment of differentially expressed proteins revealed enriched GO terms for peptidase activity, acrosin binding for their molecular function and in the process of negative regulation of peptidase activity, and regulation of fertilization. The KEGG pathway analysis indicated that differentially expressed proteins were enriched for ribosome, lysine degradation, and endocytosis pathways. Nine differentially expressed proteins including vitellogenin-1 were validated with Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) analysis, and their functions were discussed. This study provided a global proteomic view of the development of chicken ovarian follicles, which will serve as a foundation for understanding the molecular signatures and pathways of follicle selection in hens.

Identification of key genes and molecular mechanisms associated with low egg production of broiler breeder hens in ad libitum

Project description:Overfeeding reduces laying performance in broiler breeder hens (Gallus gallus domesticus). To unravel the effect of feeding regimes on energy metabolism and egg production, high-throughput RNA sequencing was utilized to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in ovary, liver and adipose tissues of broiler chickens under ad libitum and restricted feeding. The transcriptome analysis showed that 289, 388 and 204 DEGs were identified in the adipose tissue, liver and ovary, respectively, between ad libitum and restricted feeding groups. Bioinformatics analysis by STRING further revealed DEGs were significantly enriched in phagosome pathway, lipid transport and location biological process, and the molecular function of lipid transporter activity and nutrient reservoir activity in ovary; the pathways of “steroid hormone biosynthesis” and “metabolism of xenobiotics by cytochrome P450”, and the molecular function of nutrient reservoir activity in adipose tissue; the metabolic pathways, Jak-STAT signaling pathway and PPAR signaling pathway in liver.

Proteome of fluid from human small antral follicles reveals insights in folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation.

Project description:Human ovarian follicles develop a fluid-filled antrum when they reach a diameter of around 250 µm. The antrum contains follicular fluid (FF) composed of secretions from cells in the follicle and from circulation. The composition of FF undergoes massive changes in relation to follicular development. Previously, only FF from large pre-ovulatory follicles aspirated just prior to ovulation, has been analyzed by proteomics; resulting in a high proportion of plasma proteins being detected due to diffusion of proteins through the increasingly leaky basal membrane in larger follicles. We present the first proteomics analysis of FF from normal unstimulated human small antral ovarian follicles (diameter: 3-8mm) identifying the largest number of proteins reported in human FF to date: 2,050 proteins of which 1,151 were identified for the first time in human FF by mass spectrometry. Furthermore, an identified growth factor, midkine, was shown to impact follicular regulatory processes including enhancement of nuclear maturation of immature human oocytes.

Proteome of fluid from human ovarian small antral follicles reveals insights in folliculogenesis and oocyte maturation.

Project description:Follicles of polycystic ovaries (PCO) often become arrested in early antral stages at around 3 to 11 mm in diameter. The condition disturbs dominant follicle selection and may result in altered ovulation and anovulation. During the growth and development of human follicles, the follicular fluid (FF) constitutes the avascular microenvironment in which the oocyte develops and acts as a vehicle for hormone signaling between cues from circulation and follicular cells. Previous proteomics studies performed on FF from women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have revealed information on the protein changes associated with the pathophysiology of this disorder. However, these studies have been conducted on FF samples obtained in connection with oocyte pick-up during ovarian stimulation right at the time of ovulation and are limited to follicular conditions during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. This study aimed to detect proteomic alterations in FF from human small antral follicles (hSAF) obtained from women with PCO as compared to normal women.

The Transcriptome Landscape change of Human Granulosa Cells under gonadotropins Revealed by Small bulk Cell RNA Sequencing

Project description:STUDY QUESTION: Can superovulation dose of gonadotropins (Gns) affect the transcriptome of granulosa cells and follicular fluid (FF) hormone levels? SUMMARY ANSWER: Cell cycle- and meiosis-associated genes were down-regulated by Gns stimulation, whereas immune- and cytokine-associated genes were up-regulated. Hormone levels were also affected by Gns stimulation. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Superovulation treatment had adverse effects on maturation, spindle function, and chromosomal aneuploidy in oocytes. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: One leading pre-ovulatory follicle per subject was used from three natural-cycle and four Gns-stimulated patients. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Granulosa cells and FF were collected from the same leading follicle from each patient. RNA was extracted from granulosa cells and subjected to deep sequencing and analysis. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), androstenedione (AND), testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), and progesterone (P) levels in FF were measured by immunoassays. Student s t test was used for statistical analysis. MAIN RESULTS AND ROLE OF CHANCE: A total of 715 genes were up-regulated, and 287 genes were down-regulated, in the Gns-stimulated group relative to the Control group. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that the down-regulated genes were enriched in cell cycle and meiosis pathways, primarily those associated with follicle or oocyte maturation and quality. On the other hand, the up-regulated genes were enriched in functions related to immunity and cytokine Ccytokine receptor interactions. In stimulated vs. natural-cycle follicles, E2 and LH levels were significantly reduced (P < 0.001).
