Project description:After gastrulation, oviductal hypoxia maintains turtle embryos in an arrested state prior to oviposition. Subsequent exposure to atmospheric oxygen upon oviposition initiates recommencement of embryonic development. Arrest can be artificially extended for several days after oviposition by incubation of the egg under hypoxic conditions, with development recommencing in an apparently normal fashion after subsequent exposure to normoxia. To examine the transcriptomic events associated with embryonic arrestAfter gastrulation, oviductal hypoxia maintains turtle embryos in an arrested state prior to oviposition. Subsequent exposure to atmospheric oxygen upon oviposition initiates recommencement of embryonic development. Arrest can be artificially extended for several days after oviposition by incubation of the egg under hypoxic conditions, with development recommencing in an apparently normal fashion after subsequent exposure to normoxia. To examine the transcriptomic events associated with embryonic arrest, RNA-sequencing analysis was performed on embryos from freshly laid eggs and eggs incubated in either normoxia (oxygen tension ~159 mmHg) or hypoxia (<8 mmHg) for 36 hours (h) after oviposition (n = 5 per group). The patterns of gene expression differed markedly among the three experimental groups. Normal embryonic development in normoxia was associated with up-regulation of genes involved in DNA replication, the cell cycle, and mitosis, but these genes were commonly down-regulated after incubation in hypoxia. Many target genes of hypoxia inducible factors, including insulin-like growth factor binding protein 1, were down-regulated by normoxic incubation but upregulated by incubation in hypoxia. Notably, some of the transcriptomic effects of hypoxia in green turtle embryos resembled those reported by others to be associated with hypoxia-induced embryonic arrest in diverse taxa, including budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the annelid Caenorhabditis elegans, and zebrafish (Danio rerio). Thus, while among oviparous species, hypoxia-induced pre-ovipositional embryonic arrest appears to be a unique adaptation of turtles, mechanisms underlying hypoxia-induced embryonic arrest per se may be highly conserved across the diverse taxa in which this mechanism operates. We report the transciptional changes in Chelonia mydas embryos incubated in either normoxia or hypoxia comapred to freshly laid eggs.

Project description:In order to investigate proteolytic activity (presence of peptidases) in eggs of F. hepatica, we performed LC-MS analysis of eggs. Eggs were colelcted fresh and then after 5 and 10 days of incubation (embryonation). Each time point done in triplicates.

Project description:We have profiled the gene expression in eight chicken embryo livers in the 11th day of incubation. Four eggs (labelled as WAT1-4) were injected with 0.15 ml/egg deionized water in days 9, 10 an 11 post incubation while four eggs (labeled CTR1-4) were kept as environmental controls. We found that water injections had a very small effect, regulating less than 1% of the genes. Both WAT and CTR data sets were used as references in further experiments for eggs expossed to various water-soluble carcinogenic compounds.

Project description:Turkey embryos are very sensitive to perturbations in energy metabolism because they have a wider hatching window than chicken embryos. Mortality of turkey embryos during late-term incubation is high relative to chickens, and many surviving hatchlings have compromised vitality. Intestinal maturation at hatch is also crucial to survival and post-hatch performance. The study of poultry embryo metabolism during the last stages of incubation is difficult due to many shifts and changes that occur in preparation for hatching. Microarray technology is suitable to study complex biological systems like avian late-term embryonic development. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to create a customized focused oligonucleotide microarray based on chicken genome sequences that could be used to study late-term avian metabolism and intestinal maturation, and use this array to survey turkey embryos gene expression from 20 days of incubation until hatch. The key features of this microarray are that all genes present have been annotated and gene spot replication (4) within each array chip. Microarray analysis was performed on liver, pectoral muscle, hatching muscle, and duodenum Keywords: time course, embryo development

Project description:Fasciola hepatica represents a socioeconomically important species of parasitic fluke which causes significant economic losses in the livestock industry. During an indirect life cycle, immature eggs are passed out of the host in the stool and embyonate in the external environment until the release of miracidium which invades a freshwater snail - intermediate host. By utilization of RNA-seq technique (Illumina NextSeq 500), differentially expressed genes were analysed in F. hepatica eggs during the maturation process in three time points: 0 days (freshly laid eggs by adult F. hepatica individuals) and after incubation for 5 and 10 days.

Project description:Chicken eggs (Gallus gallus domesticus) were incubated, after 24 h of incubation either non-injected (control, C), or injected with the solvent sesame oil (Oleum Sesame Raffinatum, solvent control, SC), and the substances Tributyltin (TBT, 10pg TBT-SN/g egg) or 17alpha-Methyltestosteron (MT, 30 pg/g egg). Animals were decapitated on breeding day 19, 2 days before anticipated hatching. Right and left gonads of female and male chicken were accurately separated from adhesing tissues, stored in RNA lysis buffer (Promega) at -80°C until until RNA isolation with the SV Total RNA Isolation System Kit according to manual 048 (Promega). Sequencing was performed on Illumina’s Genome Analyzer IIx, and subsequent base calling was carried out by Illumina’s GAPipeline. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of whole chicken gonad transcriptomes, with biologic replicates, generated by SuperSAGE technology.

Project description:Species difference in susceptibility to toxicants is a critical issue in ecotoxicology. Transcriptomics is being proposed as a strategy to improve toxicity testing for regulatory risk assessment; however, different responses among species have not been extensively explored using this approach. In the present study, we identified dysregulated genes and pathways in Japanese quail (JQ) and double-crested cormorant (DCCO) embryos following exposure to ethinylestradiol (EE2). The objectives were to evaluate unique and overlapping transcriptomic responses to estrogenic exposure in the two species, and to determine whether these responses correspond to previously reported sensitivity difference at the organismal level. Exposures were conducted according to an avian egg injection protocol that we have proposed for standardization. EE2 was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and injected into the air cell of eggs prior to incubation at nominal concentrations of 0, 3.33, and 33.3 µg/g egg weight. After 9-days (JQ) or 16-days (DCCO) of incubation (representing mid-incubation stage), liver tissues were collected from 5 embryos per treatment group for RNA-sequencing. Data were processed and analyzed using EcoOmicsAnalyst (www.ecoomicsanalyst.ca) and ExpressAnalyst (www.expressanalyst.ca). Following exposure to EE2, JQ and DCCO had 238 and 1987 differentially expressed genes, respectively, having 78 of them in common. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the estrogenic effects of contaminants in birds, the expansion of taxonomic coverage in chemical risk assessment from model to non-model species, and the evaluation of transcriptomics and early-life stage tests as alternative toxicity testing methods. This study was conducted as a part of a large-scale Genome Canada-funded project, EcoToxChip project (www.ecotoxchip.ca).
