Project description:The Chinese Erhualian is one of the most prolific pig breeds in the world, which farrows at least five more piglets per litter than Western pig breeds partly due to a greater ovulation rate. Differences in the transcriptome of Chinese Erhualian and Large White ovaries directly result in variation of ovulation rate. To understand the molecular basis related to ovulation rate in Chinese indigenous and Western breeds, samples were collected and used to hybridized. This study reveals many potential avenues of investigation for seeking new insights into ovarian physiology and the genetic control of reproduction. Expression profiling experiments were conducted to identify differentially expressed genes in ovarian follicles at the preovulatory stage of a PMSG-hCG stimulated estrous cycle from 3 Chinese Erhualian and 3 Large White cycling sows by using the Affymetrix Porcine Genechip™.

Project description:Embryonic survival rate is an important factor for the fecundity of sows, and it is affected by endometrium secreting histotroph. A higher concentration of calcium ion has been observed in the uterus of the high prolific Erhualian sows (EH) compared with low prolific ones (EL), which suggests EH sows had a greater establishment and maintenance of pregnancy, and thus increase embryonic survival rate during peri-implantation period. In order to understand the mechanisms of endometrium secreting histotroph affecting embryonic survival rate during Erhualian peri-implantation period, the expression patterns of endometrial mRNA in the EH and EL on day 12 of gestation were analyzed using RNA sequencing technology. 164 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified (Padj < 0.05, |log2(FC)| ≥ 1)，including 46 upregulated and 118 downregulated genes in the EH group compared with EL group. Among these DEGs, 17 DEGs have been previously reported as DEGs in other pig breeds for litter size. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment indicated that a subset of DEGs were involved in the calcium ion binding and cell adhesion. Solute carrier family 8 member A3 (SLC8A3) and solute carrier family 24 member 4 (SLC24A4) were upregulated genes (Padj < 0.05) in EH group and they were considered as key candidate genes expressed in endometrium to affect embryonic survival rate during peri-implantation period. The present results will aid in understanding the variation of litter size in Erhualian breed during peri-implantation period.

Project description:From gestation day 75 to gestation day 90, an important stage for the placental and fetal development, the fetuses grow rapidly and need adequate nutrition. The Meishan pigs and the Large White pigs employ different ways in supplying the enough nutrients and oxygen to the fetus. The Meishan pigs increased the vascular density and the Large White pigs have the second increase in the surface of placenta. To understand the molecular basis related to late gestation placenta development in Chinese indigenous and Western breeds with different placental efficiency, samples were collected and used to hybridized. The results offered new data on understanding the molecular basis of placenta efficiency, and indicated that Erhualian pigs had the more efficient than the Large White pigs.

Project description:A CNV map in pigs could facilitate the identification of chromosomal regions that segregate for important economic and disease phenotypes. The goal of this study was to identify CNV regions (CNVRs) in pigs based on a custom array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH). We carried out a custom-made array comparative genome hybridization (aCGH) experiment in order to identify copy number variations (CNVs) in the pig genome analysing animals of diverse pig breeds (White Duroc, Yangxin, Erhualian, Tongcheng, Large White, Pietrain, Landrace and Chinese new pig line DIV ) using a tiling oligonucleotide array with ~720,000 probes designed on the pig genome (Sus scrofa genome version 9.0). In this study, a custom-made tiling oligo-nucleotide 720k array was used with a median probe spacing of 2506 bp for screening 12 pigs with a female Duroc as the reference. WD: White Duroc (♀); YX: Yangxin (♂); EH: Erhualian (♀); TC: Tongcheng (♀); LW: Large White (♀); PT: Pietrain (♂); LD1: Landrace × DIV pig 1 (♂); LD2: Landrace × DIV pig 2 (♀); DIV1: Chinese new pig line DIV 1 (♀); DIV2: Chinese new pig line DIV 2 (♀); L1: Landrace 1 (♂); L2: Landrace 2 (♂).

Project description:Erhualian (EHL) is one of the seven strains included in a Chinese indigenous pig breed called Taihu. EHL is famous for its early sexual maturity, large litter size, high adiposity, mild temper, good maternity and high tolerance to roughage and stress.To further investigate the different breed-specific metabolic characters, a comparison of gene expression profile in liver of newborn Erhualian (EHL) and Large White (LW) piglets was carried out. Six niemblegen 135K expression microarrays were used. Among 44,987 pig transcripts investigated, 23,807 transcripts retained for further analysis after removing the probes with poor quality intensities and low dependability.All these qualified transcripts were then annotated by manual blast and by referring to previously developed protein-based annotation for pigs. In total, we observed 9,447 genes expressed in the liver of new born piglets. The microarray data of LW piglets were treated as control in the selection of differentially expressed genes related to EHL piglets. The FDR (False Discovery Rate) and fold change were calculated by SAMR 3.02. With FDR< 5%, after the removal of redundant and unannotated sequences, 53 genes were found to be significantly up-regulated and 200 genes to be significantly down-regulated in the EHL piglets, compared to the LW piglets. With FDR < 10%, 298 genes were found to be significantly up-regulated and 510 genes to be significantly down-regulated in the EHL piglets, compared to the LW piglets. These results were further described in the unpublished paper Coordinated miRNA/mRNA expression profiles for understanding breed-specific metabolic characters of liver between Erhualian and Large White pigs.

Experiment Overall Design: Placenta efficiency (the body weight of a piglet divided by the mass of its placenta) of Erhualian pigs is markedly higher than Large White pigs. so placenta samples (female) from 6 Erhuanlian pregnant gilts at gestation day 75 (E75) and day 90 (E90) and 6 Large White pregnant gilts at gestation day 75 (L75) and day 90 (L90) were collected. RNAs from two female piglet placentas from each gilt were combined to 12 pools and hybridized to the porcine Affymetrix GeneChip.

EHL is famous for its early sexual maturity, large litter size, high adiposity, mild temper, good maternity and high tolerance to roughage and stress. To further investigate the role of miRNAs in different breed-specific metabolic characters, a comparison of miRNA expression profiles in liver of newborn Erhualian (EHL) and Large White (LW) piglets was carried out. Six LC sciences microarrays containing 236 miRNA procine probes based on miRBase Release 16.0 and 100 custom miRNA probes based on the solex deep sequencing results (li et al.,2010) were used. When compaired with LW piglets, 5 down-regulated and 8 up-regulated miRNAs were detected (fold change >1.2 and p value < 0.1) in the liver of EHL among the 236 miRbase probes. When considering the 100 custom miRNA probes, 2 down-regulated and 5 up-regulated miRNAs were observed. These results were further described in the unpublished paper Coordinated miRNA/mRNA expression profiles for understanding breed-specific metabolic characters of liver between Erhualian and Large White pigs.

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. The mRNA expression differences of eight diverse adipose tissues and two phenotypically distinct skeletal muscle tissues from three well-defined pig models with distinct fat rates are measured.
