Project description:Bacterial pulmonary infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates, with less severity in older children (juveniles). Previous studies demonstrated that CD4+ T cells in the mouse lung, whose primary responsibility is coordinating the immune response foreign pathogens, are differentially methylated in neonates compared with juveniles. Nevertheless, the effect of this differential methylation on CD4+ T cell gene expression and response to infection remains unclear. We treated E. coli-infected neonatal (4-day-old) and juvenile (13-day-old) mice with decitabine (DAC), a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor with broad-spectrum DNA demethylating activity, and performed simultaneous genome-wide DNA methylation and transcriptional profiling on lung CD4+ T cells. Juvenile and neonatal mice experienced differential demethylation in response to DAC treatment, with larger methylation differences observed in neonates. By cross-filtering differentially expressed genes between juveniles and neonates with those sites that were demethylated in neonates, we found that interferon-responsive genes such as Ifit1 are the most down-regulated methylation-sensitive genes in neonatal mice. DAC treatment shifted neonatal lung CD4+ T cells toward a gene expression program similar to that of juveniles. Following lung infection with E. coli, lung CD4+ T cells in neonatal mice exhibit epigenetic repression of important host defense pathways, which are activated by inhibition of DNA methyltransferase activity to resemble a more mature profile.

Project description:RATIONALE: In a mouse model of maternal transmission of asthma risk (J. Immunol 170:1683, 2003), baby mice of asthmatic (As), but not normal (Nrm), mothers show increased susceptibility to allergy. We previously showed that adoptive transfer to normal baby mice of dendritic cells (DCs) harvested from asthma-susceptible but allergen-naïve neonates reproduces the increased susceptibility to asthma. Hence, the maternal effect is mediated by altered neonatal DCs, which skew immune responses towards a pro-allergic Th2 phenotype. To identify potential molecular mechanisms, we performed epigenomic profiling of isolated neonatal DCs. METHODS: BALB/c mice were sensitized by 2 i.p. injections of ovalbumin (OVA) in alum and repeatedly challenged with OVA aerosols (As) prior to mating with normal males. Purified splenic CD11c+ DCs of 14-day old allergen-naïve offspring from these As and control Nrm mothers were isolated using magnetic beads. Methylation profiles of genomic DNA were obtained using Switchgear epigenomic chip arrays. After normalization and background correction analysis using significance analysis for microarrays (SAM) and ANOVA was performed. RESULTS: We identified 300 to 6000 (depending on stringency) chromosomal regions with significantly different methylation status, (2 â 10 fold). Clustering methods and pathway analysis identified several interrelated gene groups that merit further study. CONCLUSION: Maternal asthma causes multiple significant epigenetic changes in neonatal dendritic cells. Keywords: Dendritic cells, genomic DNA, DNA methylation, allergy, asthma The analysis includes 9 samples of genomic DNA from isolated splenic CD11c+ dendritic cells (>95% pure) per group. The two groups are neonates born to mothers with induced allergy to ovalbumin, and normal control neonates. All neonates are genetically and environmentally identical, and allergen-naive.

Project description:Obese and lean type pig breeds show obvious differences in fat deposit and fatty acid composition. However, the underlying diversities in DNA methylation that related to the phenotypic differentiation have not been clarified. Here, we employed Landrace pigs (a leaner, Western breed) and Rongchang pigs (a fatty, Chinese breed) as models to survey genome-wide DNA methylation in the backfat adipose using a methylated DNA immunoprecopitation sequencing approch.We sequenced 6 methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) libraries, generated 38.27 gigabases (Gb) of methylated DNA immunoprecitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq) data from the six samples, representing about 15 times the size of the pig genome. About 88.89% of all reads could be aligned on the pig reference genome (Sus scrofa 10.2) using the SOAP2 software, and about 76.68% of reads had a unique genomic location. There was 483 different methylated regions (DMRs) located in genes promoter region, which are mainly involved in the processes of “olfactory and sensory activity” and “lipid metabolism”. This study provides a solid basis for exploring the epigenetic mechanisms of fat deposit and fatty acid composition, have benefit to promoting human health diet and improving pork quality and production efficiency.

Project description:The starch, acting as the major energy-producing component of the daily diet, is the main carbohydrate in mammal nutrition. However, the nutritional value of starch can vary widely depending upon its source and site of digestion. The distinct physiological responses were previously observed both in human and other mammals, but still little is known about the underlying mechanisms regarding the metabolic shifts due to the intake of various dietary starches. Here, we assessed the overall metabolic changes in weaned pigs induced by different dietary starch sources at the transcriptome level. Sixteen weaned pigs (DurocÃLandraceÃYorkshire) were selected and randomly allotted to diets containing either wheat (WH) or cassava (CA) starch as the energy source (n=8). We measured serum metabolites and hormones and generated transcriptional profiles of liver. 648 genes in liver were differentially expressed in response to dietary starch sources. Pathway analysis indicated that dietary starch sources altered both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in liver. In contrast, CA may be more healthful as dietary energy source than WH by down-regulating lipogenesis and steroidogenesis in liver. Sixteen weaned pigs (DurocÃLandraceÃYorkshire) with an average initial body weight of 7.37±0.25 kg were selected and randomly allotted to two dietary treatments (either wheat or cassava starch as the energy source) for 21 d. At the end of the trial, the liver tissue were collected for transcriptome analysis using Agilent porcine microarrays.

Project description:Background: Neonatal infection and sepsis are common for preterm infants due to their immature immune system. Early diagnosis is important for effective treatment but few early markers of systemic and neuro-inflammatory responses in neonates are known. We hypothesized that systemic infection with Gram-positive Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) induces acute changes to proteins in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), potentially affecting the immature brain of preterm neonates. Methods: Using preterm pigs as model for preterm infants, plasma and CSF samples were collected up to 24 h after SE infection and investigated by untargeted mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Selected differential proteins were further studied in vitro assays. Results: The clinical signs of sepsis and neuroinflammation in SE-infected piglets were associated with changes in multiple CSF and plasma proteins. Eight plasma proteins, including APOA4, haptoglobin, MBL1, vWF, LBP and sCD14, were affected already 6 h after infection. Likewise, acute phase reactants, including complement components, showed a time-dependent activation pattern after infection. Feeding bovine colostrum reduced the sepsis-related change in clinical parameters as well as plasma proteins. Neuroinflammation-related neuropeptide Y (NPY), IL-18 and MMP-14 showed distinct changes in the CSF and several brain regions (prefrontal cortex, PVWM, hippocampus) 24 h after infection. These changes were verified in TLR2 agonist-challenged primary microglia cells, where exogenous NPY suppressed the inflammatory response. Conclusion: Systemic infection with Gram-positive SE induces inflammation with rapid proteome changes in plasma and CSF in preterm newborn pigs. The observed early markers of sepsis and neuroinflammation in preterm pigs may serve as novel biomarkers for sepsis in preterm infants.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate whether long term intake of pea fiber would improve colonic barrier, bacterial profile and alter colonic gene expression using DNA microarray. Fifty weaned pigs were randomly allocated into 2 groups receiving control and fibrous diet with inclusion of pea fiber from weaning age until d 160. The two diets had similar nutrient levels. Pigs fed pea fiber diet (PF diet) had markedly decreased overall average daily feed intake (ADFI) and Feed:Gain in growing and finishing period (P<0.05). In addition, long term intake of PF diet induced deeper crypt (+50 %, P<0.05), increased protein expression of colonic mucin and sIgA (+13～16 %, P<0.05). Resulting from the increased lactobacillus content (P<0.05), moreover, pigs fed PF diet had significantly higher concentration of colonic total short chain fatty acid (SCFA) and acetic acid. DNA microarray results indicated that feeding PF diet induced alterations in the expression of colonic cancer, immune response and lipid metabolism-related genes, as well as genes involved in signal pathway such as intestinal immune network for IgA production, PPAR signaling pathway and nutrient metabolism-related pathways. Collectively, our results suggested that long term intake of PF diet would improve colonic health via altering colonic bacteria profile, colonic barriers, immune and metabolism related protein or gene expressions. A total of 50 weaned pigs (Duroc×Landrace×Yorkshire, initial body weight: 7.2±0.5 kg) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 pens each group and 5 pig each pen. Pigs were fed control (Control) and fibrous diets (10～20 % inclusion of pea fiber, PF) from weaning at 28 day to 160 day-old-age, which is subjected to phase feeding by weaning diet (weaning to d 30 post-weaning), growing diet (d 30～90 postweaning) and finishing diet (d 90～160 postweaning) according to their physiological stage. At d 160 postweaning, four pigs each group were selected to be slaughtered for collection of colonic tissues and DNA microarray was applied to the colonic tissues for analysis of gene expression.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to perform a transcriptome-wide analysis of variation in brain gene expression between domesticated pig and wild boars using illumina sequencing strategy. Methods: Brain mRNA profiles of wild boars and Rongchang pigs were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by Cufflinks. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Results: We identified 808 widely-expressed conserved and 697 species-specific novel miRNAs in two species. In addition, although two organs showed similar high expression miRNAs, larger differentiation was present in lung than heart between two species. In addition, miRNAs with significantly differentiated patterns of expression in two organs exhibited obvious co-operation effect in high altitude adaptation in form of miRNA family and cluster. Functional analysis revealed that a large amount of differentially expressed miRNAs were enriched in hypoxia-related pathways, such as VEGF signaling pathway, HIF-1α signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway, DNA damage response, apoptosis, fatty acid metabolism and glucose metabolism. These results suggested the diverse degrees of epigenetic variation in different tissues between yak and cattle, and revealed extensive roles of miRNAs in high altitude adaptation. Conclusions: First, we totally identified 20,805 genes in two groups, of which 18,904 in wild boar and 17,980 in Rongchang pigs, respectively. Second, we detected substantial variation in expression profiles between wild boar and Rongchang pig, including substantial wild boar/Rongchang specifically expressed genes and differentially expressed genes. The functional enrichment analysis revealed immune response was enriched for genes upregulated in wild boars. Finally, we compared our results against previous study and identified seven genes that were associated with domestication.The work performed here will provide a typical demonstration for future deciphering the mechanism of pig domestication.

Project description:It has been proposed that developmental differences exist between neonatal and adult platelets. Detailed insight therein is, however, still lacking. We have now compared the platelet protein expression profile of neonates and adults employing a label-free quantitative mass spectrometry approach. In addition, platelet aggregation mediated by thromboxane A2 analog, collagen, and peptide agonists of the protease-activated-receptors 1 and 4 was assessed. Results showed that neonatal platelets effectively aggregate in the presence the employed platelet agonists. In agreement with previous studies, higher concentrations of the agonists were required to initiate aggregation in the neonatal platelets. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed no significant difference in the expression level of critical adhesive platelet proteins like glycoprotein (GP)Ib, integrin αIIbβ3, GPV and GPIX. Neonatal platelets did show reduced expression levels of proteins involved in intracellular signaling, i.e. LYN, MAP3k5 and FAM129A. Several proteins that are known to be related to mitochondrial energy metabolism processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, i.e. NDUFS3, NDUFS8 and NDUFA1 were upregulated in neonates. In conclusion, this study reveals that the platelets derived from neonates and adults are distinct. In particular, developmental changes were observed for proteins that belong to metabolic and energy generation processes.
