Project description:A summary of the work associated to these microarrays is the following: Diet plays a role in the development of the immune system, and polyunsaturated fatty acids can modulate the expression of a variety of genes. Human milk contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that seems to contribute to immune development. Indeed, recent studies carried out in our group in suckling animals have shown that the immune function is enhanced after feeding 80:20 isomer mix of c9,t11 and t10,c12 CLA, respectively. However, little work has been done on the effects of CLA on gene expression, and even less regarding immune system development in early life. With all these concepts in mind, we determined the expression profile of Mesentheric Lymph Nodes (MLN) from animals supplemented with CLA during gestation and suckling through dam’s milk (Group A) or by oral gavage (Group B), supplemented just during suckling (Group C) and control animals (Group D) with the aid of the specific GeneChip ® Rat Genome 230 2.0 (Affymettrix). Bioinformatic analyses were performed using the GeneSpring GX software package v10.0.2 and lead to the identification of 123 genes differentially expressed in all three dietary approaches. Generation of a Biological Association Network (BAN) evidenced several genes, such as connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (Timp1), galanin (Gal), synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1), growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (Grb2) actin gamma 2 (Actg2) and smooth muscle alpha actin (Acta2), as highly interconnected nodes of the resulting network. Gene underexpression was confirmed by Real-Time RT-PCR. We conclude that Ctgf, Timp1, Gal and Syt1, among others, are genes modulated by CLA supplementation that may have a role on lymphoproliferation and mucosal immune responses in early life. The aim of our study was to evaluate, by using whole genome microarrays, the effects of dietary supplementation with an 80:20 isomer mix of c9,t11 and t10,c12 CLA, respectively, on Mesentheric Lymph Nodes gene expression, during gestation and/or suckling. Three experimental approaches were conducted to assess the effects of CLA supplementation on I) pups from dams fed with 1% CLA diet during the two weeks of gestation and throughout the suckling period (Group A). These pups received CLA through the dam’s milk during suckling (Total Period of CLA Supplementation (TPS) 5 wk); II) pups from dams fed with 1% CLA diet during gestation and standard diet during suckling. These pups were CLA-supplemented daily during suckling by oral gavage (TPS 5 wk) (Group B); III) pups from dams fed standard diet during gestation and suckling and receiving CLA by daily oral gavage throughout the suckling period (TPS 3 wk) (Group C). Group D, pups from dams fed standard diet throughout the study, constituted the reference diet group (TPS 0 wk). Triplicate samples were hybridized for each experimental condition (12 samples in total). The samples provided were analyzed using the specific software GeneSpring GX.

Project description:Purpose: The present study was designed to identify both differentially expressed (DE) genes and differences in proteins accumulated in the liver tissues of suckling female lambs, thus trying to identify modified metabolic pathways as a consequence of milk restriction during the suckling period. Methods: Forty Assaf lambs (average BW 4.7 kg) were penned individually, twenty of them were fed milk replacer (200 g dry matter/L) ad libitum (ADL; 192 mL/kg LBW) whereas the other group (restricted, RES) only received 120 mL/kg LBW. When they were 35 days old, four animals per group were slaughtered (8 lambs in total) and a piece of liver was excised for transcriptomic analysis. The liver transcriptome analysis was carried out using RNA sequencing methodology (RNA-seq). Results: 386 DE genes were identified by RNA-seq, 198 of them being annotated genes in the KEGG pathway. Positive values of log2-fold change (log2FC) indicated that 210 genes were up-regulated in the liver of RES relative to the ADL group, whereas negative log2FC values denoted the down-regulation of 176 genes (P < 0.05). Conclusions: According to the data obtained, a restricted milk intake during the suckling period of replacement lambs affects hepatic transcriptome and proteome associated with an altered metabolism of lipids and proteins, thus reducing feed efficiency of replacement period.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Dietary intervention has been reported to improve intestinal health. The intestinal microbiota of newborn animals plays a fundamental role in the development of intestinal function and the innate immune system. However, little is currently known about dietary interventions in the gut microbiota and barrier function of livestock, especially suckling Bamei piglets. To this end, we studied the effect of early dietary supplementation on intestinal bacterial communities and intestinal barrier function in piglets.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> 10 purebred Bamei sows were randomly allocated into two groups. In group one, the piglets received a supplementary milk replacer on day 7 of age, whereas the other control group was allowed sow’s milk alone. At 21 days, 18 and 17, respectively, piglets in each group of average weight were randomly selected and sacrificed. Tissue and digesta samples were collected from the jejunum to evaluate differences in the microbiome-metabolome and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (TLR4, TNFα and IL-8) and barrier proteins (ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1). Sequencing of 16S rRNA revealed that ES improved the gut microbiome composition of Bamei suckling piglets. The relative abundances of some bacterial species such as Lactobacillales, Romboutsia, Actinobacillus, Bacteroides were significantly reduced in the ES group. Metabolomics analysis indicated that 23 compounds were enriched and 35 compounds decreased in the ES group. And correlation analysis demonstrated that some gut bacterial genera were highly correlated with altered gut microbiota-related metabolites. Meanwhile, ES of Bamei suckling piglets altered the gene expression of inflammatory cytokine and barrier protein in the jejunum.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> In summary, these results provide important insights on the relationships between jejunal microbiota and related metabolites, and jejunal barrier function during the early life of Bamei suckling piglets.</p>

Project description:Cis-9, trans-11-conjugated linoleic acid (c9, t11-CLA), a functional fatty acid, is one of the research hotspots in the fields of functional dairy products development because of its multiple beneficial effects in humans and animals. In milk, most c9, t11-CLA is de novo synthesized from trans-11-octadecenoic acid (TVA) and it is confirmed that genes such as stearoyl-coA desaturase 1 (SCD1) play a key role in the synthesis. However, few studies have been reported to deeply elucidate the SCD1-dependent molecular mechanism of cis9, trans11-CLA synthesis and its relationship with the pathways of energy metabolism and lipid metabolism. Therefore, in the present study, MAC-T cells were divided into three groups: CAY group (SCD1-inhibited MAC-T cell model with the addition of CAY, TVA), TVA group (only TVA), and Control group (without CAY, TVA). The relative mRNA expression of SCD1 was measured using real-time PCR, while TVA accumulation and c9, t11 -CLA synthesis were analyzed using gas chromatography (GC). The SCD1-related proteins were firstly screened in MAC-T cells by Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics analysis, then their functions were annotated by bioinformatic analysis, and finally their relationships with SCD1 were evaluated by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) analysis and small RNA interference. The results showed that the deficiency of SCD1 led by CAY10566 blocked the synthesis of c9, t11-CLA in MAC-T cells. Sixty-one SCD1-associated proteins were screened and found to be mainly involved in the pathways of energy metabolism and lipid metabolism, such as glycolytic pathway, pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid elongation pathway, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. Among these genes, 17 proteins were validated under the PRM analysis. PGAM1 (phosphoglycerate mutase 1), TPI1 (triosephosphate isomerase 1), LDHB (lactate dehydrogenase B), and ALDOA (aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate A) were verified to have a negative relationships with SCD1. This study furthered our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of c9, t11-CLA synthesis in the mammary glands of dairy cows.

Project description:Feed restriction during the early life of ewe lambs (F0) triggers the transfer of epigenetic marks to the next generation, thus impairing the reproductive performance of F1. However, the effects of this factor on milk production and composition, including its abundance in regulatory miRNA (many of which are contained in exosomes, small vesicles of endocytic origin that play a role in the modulation of immune response of the offspring), has not been tested so far. Therefore, in this study, the replacement ewe lambs (F0) obtained in a previous project (a group of ewes fed milk replacer ad libitum –ADL– vs. a group of ewes restricted –RES– to 62.5% the intake level of milk replacer during the suckling period) were raised under similar post-weaning conditions and mated to obtain the progeny (F1). The F1 dairy ewes were also mated, and six of these F1 dairy ewes were selected and divided into two groups: the F1-ADL group (n=3) born from F0-ADL and the F1-RES group (n=3), born from F0-RES animals. Milk production was controlled during the peak lactation period, and milk samples were obtained for each gland separately to measure chemical composition, somatic cell counts, and bacteriology. Exosomes were also isolated for each gland separately to define the miRNA content. The miRNAome was determined following a Next Generation Sequencing approach. The first preliminary results indicate significant differences in the abundance of five miRNAs in the milk obtained during the peak of lactation. Thus, oar-miR-150, oar-miR-221, oar-miR-23a, oar-miR-27a, oar-miR-376c were all down modulated in F1-RES when compared to F0-ADL. Most of these miRNAs have been found to play a role in biological functions such as development, apoptosis, muscle differentiation, reproduction, or milk production. Moreover, somatic cell count (SCC) was reduced significantly in milk samples during the peak of lactation of F1-RES dairy sheep. No significant differences were found in milk production, the chemical composition of milk (fat, protein, lactase), or bacteriology (colony forming units, CFU). This study's results provide some evidence of the effects of nutritional programming events on the milk's bioactive components.

Project description:Samples of perirenal fat tissue from 8 Assaf breed suckling lambs. These animals were selected from a larger group of 17 Assaf suckling lambs for which carcass traits were measured. The 8 selected lambs were those showing the highest and the lowest values, from the larger group, for the percentage of perirenal and cavitary fat relative to the half carcass weight. Hence, considering the values for this trait, we defined the High-PF group (n = 4; average: 3.23 ± 0,.47) and the Low-PF group (n = 4; 1.65 ± 0,.16), respectively.

Project description:Inborn errors of lipid metabolism illustrate the importance of proper milk fat oxidation in newborn mammals. In the liver, a remarkable lipid catabolic competence is present at birth; however, it is unclear how this critical trait is acquired and regulated. In this work, we found that the genes required for milk lipid catabolism are already transcribed before birth in the term fetus (E19.5) and controlled by the peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARα) in mouse liver. The developmental activity of PPARα strongly regulates fatty acid oxidation genes. Two days after birth (P2), during milk suckling, PPARα-null mice develop a congenital steatosis and milk protein oxidation is de-repressed to fuel an alternative energy pathway that maintains glucose homeostasis and postnatal growth. Our results demonstrate for the first time, the developmental role of PPARα in regulating the metabolic ability to use maternal milk as fuel in the early days of life. Expression profile difference between PPARalpha wild-type (3 males and 3 females) and knock-out (3 males and 3 females) mouse liver in suckling mice. Two days after birth, pups were killed and their liver promptly removed and frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Project description:In a recent study, a teat disinfectant based on a nisin-producing Lactococcus cremoris displayed comparable efficacy to a conventional iodophor disinfectant in preventing dairy cow mastitis when implemented in the dairy cow milking routine. Here, we carried out a longitudinal study for an in-depth investigation of the milk proteome. Four groups of matched quarter milk with low and high somatic cell count (SCC) collected at the beginning (T0) and at the end (TF) of the trial were selected for analysis, for a total of 28 low SCC (LSCC) and 12 high SCC (HSCC) samples. The milk was delipidated, digested into peptides, and subjected to a proteomic analysis workflow entailing NanoHPLC separation and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on an Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid mass spectrometer. The proteins were identified with MaxQuant, the proteomes were compared for identifying differential proteins, and their interaction networks were assessed with STRING. In LSCC milk at T0, 31 were increased or present only in the Lactococcus (L) disinfectant group (from now INCREASED in L) and 59 proteins were decreased in L disinfectant group or present only in the conventional iodophor (C) group (from now DECREASED in L). All were involved in metabolic pathways and were likely related to physiological differences between animals. In LSCC milk at TF, 34 proteins were INCREASED in L and 46 proteins were DECREASED in the L disinfectant group. Most belonged to physiological milk pathways, but 3 antimicrobial proteins were enriched in the L group at the end of the trial. In HSCC milk at T0, 54 proteins were INCREASED in L and 34 DECREASED in L. Most were involved in physiological metabolic pathways; 4 proteins with antimicrobial functions were higher in L at the beginning of the trial. In HSCC milk at TF, 67 proteins were INCREASED in L and 39 DECREASED in L. All the proteins enriched in C belonged to metabolic pathways, while up to 14 proteins enriched in L were involved in antibiotic, antimicrobial, and immune defense pathways. Cathelicidins were among the most prominent differential proteins with antimicrobial functions. At T0, cathelicidins were generally higher in HSCC than LSCC milk of both experimental groups, as expected. At TF, they were increased or unique only in the Lactococcus group, in both LSCC and HSCC milk. Western immunoblotting validation confirmed the proteomic findings. On the other hand, enzymatic assessment of n-acetyl-glucosaminidase (NAGase) did not highlight significant differences between the C and L groups, neither for LSCC nor for HSCC milk. In conclusion, the two disinfectants did not induce relevant functional changes in the milk proteome of healthy animals, except for three increased antimicrobial proteins in the Lactococcus group. On the other hand, in animals with an underlying mammary gland inflammation, the milk proteome of the Lactococcus group showed increased levels of several proteins with antibiotic, antimicrobial and immune defense functions. Among other factors, the selective immunostimulatory action of nisin, the antimicrobial effector of L. cremoris, might play a role in this observation.

Project description:Purpose: The present study was designed to identify both differentially expressed (DE) genes in the liver tissues of fattening Merino lambs and differences in metabolites accumulated in plasma, thus trying to identify modified metabolic pathways as a consequence of milk restriction during the suckling period. Methods: Twenty-four male Merino lambs were assigned to 2 different groups (n=12 per dietary treatment). The first group (ad libitum, ADL) was kept permanently with the dams whereas the other group (restricted, RES) was milk restricted. When they reached 15 kg of live body weight, all the lambs were offered the same complete pelleted diet at the same level to ensure no differences in dry matter intake. All the lambs were slaughtered with 27 kg. For transcriptomic analysis, 4 liver samples representative from each group (8 samples in total) were selected for RNA sequencing methodology (RNA-seq). Results: 38 DE annotated genes were identified by RNA-seq, with 23 DE genes being down-regulated and 15 up-regulated in the liver of RES relative to the ADL group (P < 0.10). In general, those genes and pathways involved in protein synthesis or protease inhibitors were down-regulated in the RES group, whereas those related to proteolytic degradation were up-regultated, thus suggesting a higher catabolism of proteins in these lambs. Contrarily, RES lambs showed over-expression of xenobiotic metabolism pathways, whereas those genes related to β-oxidation of fatty acids were down expressed. Conclusions: According to the data obtained, early feed restriction during the suckling period of Merino lambs promoted long-term effects on hepatic transcriptomic profile and plasma metabolic profile wich might have modified fatty acids metabolism, catabolism of proteins and detoxification of xenobiotics, thus reducing feed efficiency of fattening period.

Project description:Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a class of fatty acids found in beef and dairy products, has been shown to inhibit tumorigenesis in a variety of cancer model systems. Based on previously well-documented anti-tumor activity of CLA in rodent models of breast cancer, a pilot study was initiated to examine the effect of dietary CLA in a well-established transgenic model of breast cancer. Western blots were performed for the detection of AKT, c-Src, ERK1/2, and Cdc24. CLA significantly increased tumor burden (p<0.1) independent of an increase in oncogenic signaling. Mammary gland whole mounts indicated a loss of mammary adipose and extensive epithelial expansion in CLA-treated animals. Microarray analysis indicated a significant reduction in cytoskeletal related genes with at least a two-fold decrease in five out of six CLA-fed animals compared to untreated controls. Reduction of Cdc42, a key regulator of cell adhesion and cytoskeletal arrangements, was confirmed at the protein level by western blot (p<0.01). These findings suggest that dietary CLA may advance the malignant phenotype by promoting a loss of cell polarity and adhesion in the mammary gland epithelium. This action may have serious clinical implications for a subset high-risk population and warrants further investigation.
