Project description:Guard hair and cashmere undercoat are developed from primary and secondary hair follicle, respectively. Little is known about the gene expression differences between primary and secondary hair follicle cycling. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from cashmere and milk goats grown at four different seasons. We studied the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the yearly hair follicle cycling, and between cashmere and milk goats. WNT, NOTCH, MAPK, BMP, TGFβ and Hedgehog signaling pathways were involved in hair follicle cycling in both cashmere and milk goat. However, Milk goat DEGs between different months were significantly more than cashmere goat DEGs, with the largest difference being identified in December. Some expression dynamics were confirmed by quantitative PCR and western blot, and immunohistochemistry. This study offers new information sources related to hair follicle cycling in milk and cashmere goats, which could be applicable to improve the wool production and quality.

Project description:Robust human-goat chimerism was achieved by transplanting human CD34+Lin- cord blood cells into fetal goats. We observed a broad distribution of GFP-marked human cells in non-hematopoietic organs including kidney, muscle, lung, and heart of transplant goats. Various marker techniques indicated that human genes were expressed in chimeric livers and blood.

Project description:Genetic (animal species, breed and genotype) has a considerable effect on milk composition. In particular, goats present a remarkable polymorphism at the alpha-S1-casein (CSN1S1) locus which results in large differences in milk protein content and indirectly in milk fat content and its fatty acids composition. In order to decipher the mammary metabolic pathways involved, we examined the effect of CSN1S1 polymorphism on the expression of 8,379 genes in caprine mammary gland using a bovine oligonucleotide microarray. Six lactating goats fed ad libitum were assigned to 2 groups based on their genotype at the CSN1S1 locus: High vs. Low genotype goats carrying, respectively, two reference alleles associated with high CSN1S1 synthesis and two defective alleles associated with low CSN1S1 synthesis. Keywords: Genotype comparison 6 slides were performed for a total of 3 independent comparisons (Comp1, Comp2, Comp3): each microarray was co-hybridized with one High CSN1S1 genotype goat sample and one Low CSN1S1 genotype goat sample; each hybridization was repeated in a dye-swap manner for a total of 4 spots per oligonucleotide (2 intra- and 2 inter-slides).

Project description:Intramuscular fat (IMF) and its fatty acid composition in longissimus dorsi muscle (LM) are changed along with the growth of age, which partly determines the flavor and nutritional value of goat meat. However, unlike cattle, there is few data available on the transcriptome-wide changes at different postnatal stages in small ruminants specially for goats. In this study, the transcriptome by RNA sequencing of goat LM tissues collected from kid, youth and adult period were mapped to goat genome. Out of a total of 24689 unigenes, 20435 unigenes were annotated. Based on FPKM a total of 111 annotated differentially expressed genes (DEG) were identified among different postnatal stages, which was then classified to 16 possible expression patterns by series-cluster analysis. Functional classification through GO was used for selecting the top expressed genes related to lipid metabolism. Using co-expression analysis, we identified the node genes for lipid metabolism regulation. In conclusion, these data may provide candidate genes with high probability of having functional roles in regulating goat IMF deposition during the various growth stages.

Project description:Background: Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, a chronic enteric infection of ruminants. Infection occurs within the first few months of life but remains subclinical for an average of 2-5 years. Current diagnostics to detect early subclinical infections lack diagnostic sensitivity, which hinders disease control resulting in significant economic losses to the dairy industry worldwide. The pathophysiology of early infection with M. paratuberculosis is still not well understood and represents a key hurdle towards the development of better diagnostics. Methods: The present study employed a large-scale RNA-Sequencing technology to better understand early stages of M. paratuberculosis infection and immunization. Specifically, gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from infected and vaccinated goats were compared to controls. Results: The transcriptome of the control goats revealed a large number of genes (N = 226, 1018, 1714, 1133) that were differentially expressed compared to the M. paratuberculosis-infected goats, goats vaccinated with live attenuated or inactivated vaccines, and goats both vaccinated and infected. Bioinformatics evaluation of the differentially expressed genes indicated the regulation of a large number of genes with immunity and inflammatory functions including IL-18BP, IFN-γ, IL-17A, NOS2, LIPG and IL-22. Interestingly, a large number of goat genes (N=667) were regulated whether live or inactivated vaccine were used. Some of the regulated genes (e.g. IL-17A, IFN-g) continued its unique transcriptional profile up to 12 months post-challenge. Conclusions: Overall, transcriptome analysis of infected and/or immunized goats identified potential targets for developing early diagnostics for Johne’s disease and a potential approach to differentiate infected from vaccinated animals. A similar approach could be used to analyze later stages of Johne’s disease or other chronic infections.

Project description:<p>Goats can provide meat, milk and skins for humans and are livestock with high economic benefits. However, despite their economic significance, the comprehensive analysis of goats' serum metabolic profile and its intricate alterations throughout their developmental journey remains conspicuously absent. To investigate the stage-specificity and dynamic change characteristics of metabolites during the growth and development of goats, this study compared the alterations in serum hormone levels and serum biochemical markers across different developmental stages of female goats (1, 60, 120, 180 days old; n=5). Additionally, a serum untargeted LC-MS metabolomics analysis was conducted. A total of 504 DAMs were identified with age. The results indicated that PE, PC, Lyso-PE, Lyso-PC and FAFHA may play important roles in lipid metabolism in goats after birth. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) identified two metabolite modules (Turquoise and Yellow) and key metabolites within these modules that were significantly associated with phenotypic features. L-carnitine may be a metabolite related to muscle development in goats. The findings of this study demonstrate notable variations in serum metabolites across distinct developmental phases in goats. Lipids and organic acids play important roles in different developmental stages of goats.</p>

Project description:To evaluate the long-term growth potential of BCR-ABL-transduced primitive human hematopoietic cells, lin- cord blood cells containing an MSCV-BCR-ABL-IRES-GFP (BCR-ABL) or control-GFP transgene (MIG) were injected IP into fetal goats at 45-55 days of gestation. Six transplant goats were born alive. One was examined three weeks after birth and showed GFP+ cells in the blood, bone marrow (BM), liver, kidney, lung, heart, and both skeletal and smooth muscle. FISH analysis also showed the liver of this goat contained BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells. The remaining five goats appear normal although, in some, the WBC count is elevated 3- to 5-fold. GFP+ cells, including cells identifiable by FACS as human CD34+ cells, have been detected in the blood of all these goats. The presence of BCR-ABL-GFP transgenic cells in the BM and liver was confirmed by FISH analysis, and quantitative real-time PCR analysis of genomic DNA isolated from unpurified BM cells obtained from three of the transplant goats demonstrated 3-5Ã104 copies of the transgene per microgram of DNA. Microarray transcript profiling was performed on blood and liver tissues of normal goats, BCR-ABL chimeric goats, MIG chimeric goats, and normal human samples. RNA for human genes was detected in goats transplanted with cord blood cells but not in normal goats, and the RNA abundance of some genes in BCR-ABL chimeric goat blood was similar to or greater than levels observed in MIG goat blood or normal human samples. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed the differential expression of several genes in goats carrying the BCR-ABL vs. control transgene. These results demonstrate long-term engraftment but slow expansion in a large animal model of primitive human hematopoietic cells transduced with a BCR-ABL fusion gene and transplanted in utero. This novel xenotransplant goat model should be useful for analyzing the initial phases of development of human CML and for assessing new therapies with potential long-term benefits. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA was extracted from liver (L) and blood (B) samples of normal goats (ng), humans (hu), chimeric goats engrafted with human cord blood stem cells containing control (mig) vector, and chimeric goats engrafted with CML (bcrabl) vector. RNA samples were profiled on Affymetrix human U133A GeneChips and examined for differentially expressed genes in CML vs control goats, filtering for signals significantly above background levels observed in normal goat to select for specific human gene expression.
