Project description:Synovial fluid was obtained weekly from nine horses throughout a 70-day study period and subjected to small RNA sequencing. Nine skeletally mature Standardbred trotters (seven mares and two geldings, 2.5-7 years old, weighing 397-528 kg) were included in this study. OA was surgically induced in the left middle carpal joint and the right middle carpal joint underwent sham surgery. Under arthroscopic guidance, an osteochondral fragment was created in the left middle carpal joint by chiselling off a fragment on the dorsodistal surface of the radial carpal bone using an 8 mm curved osteotome. The fragment was left adherent to the joint capsule proximally, and an incongruent defect bed of approximately 15 mm in width was created in the exposed subchondral bone between the fragment and radial carpal bone by drilling with an arthroscopic burr. Debris from the procedure was left inside the joint. Sham surgery (arthroscopy alone) was performed in the right middle carpal joint. All portals were sutured using 2-0 propylene (Surgipro, Medtronic Danmark A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). Both carpi were bandaged with sterile dressings. Bandages were changed at day 2 and removed at day 5. Sutures were removed 10 days after surgery. From 2 weeks following OA induction and onwards, horses were exercised in 2 min of trot (4.4-5.3 m/sec) , 2 min of fast trot/gallop (9 m/sec) and 2 min of trot (4.4-5.3 m/sec) 5 days a week on a treadmill. The horses were euthanized on day 71 or 72 with an overdose of pentobarbital sodium (140 mg/kg, Euthasol Vet, Dechra Veterinary Products, Uldum, Denmark). One horse, Horse 5, was euthanized according to predefined humane endpoints at day 49, as it became lame at the walk.

Project description:In this project we will investigate the feasibility of metabolomics and to characterize the diversity of metabotypes in the horse, towards discovery of markers and pathways associated with obesity and insulin resistance in the equine model. The collaborative team of researchers assembled for this work have identified horses severely affected with Equine Metabolic syndrome, often characterized by obesity and hyperinsulinemia. These animals are all from the Arabian breed, to control for some genetic background. Horses are age, sex and farm of residence matched with a control animal whenever possible. Carefully controlled collection protocols were utilized to ensure minimal variability in sample age and quality. Blood plasma is submitted for both global LC-MS analysis through the SECIM core facilities. This discovery-based approach will begin to generate new targets for the development of novel therapeutic interventions for the treatment and prevention of obesity, type-2 diabetes as well as related secondary conditions in both humans and horses. Finally, as the first dataset of its kind in the horse, we may also be able to highlight promising new biomarkers for veterinary diagnostic use.

Project description:In a rare subtype of XX Disorder of Sex Development (DSD), individuals are negative for SRY, the testis determining factor on the Y chromosome, yet develop testes or ovotestes, and both of these phenotypes occur in the same family. This is a naturally occurring disorder in humans (Homo sapiens) and dogs (C. familiaris), and phenotypes in the canine XX DSD model are strikingly similar to those in this type of human XX DSD. The purposes of this study were to identify 1) a variant associated with XX DSD in the canine model and 2) gene expression alterations in canine embryonic gonads that could be informative to causation. Using a genome wide association study (GWAS) and whole genome sequencing (WGS), we identified a variant on C. familiaris autosome 9 (CFA9) that is significantly associated with XX DSD in the canine model and in affected purebred dogs. This is the first marker and candidate causative variant identified for inherited canine XX DSD. It lies within the canine ortholog for the human disorder (OMIM 278850), which resides on 17q24, upstream of SOX9. Gene expression studies (RNA-seq and PRO-seq) in embryonic gonads at risk of XX DSD from the canine model identified significant RSPO1 downregulation in comparison to XX controls, without significant upregulation of SOX9 or other known testis pathway genes. A novel mechanism is proposed in which the canine XX DSD variant acts upstream of RSPO1 to induce epigenomic gonadal mosaicism.

Project description:In eutherian mammals, dosage compensation of X-linked genes is achieved by X chromosome inactivation. X inactivation is random in embryonic and adult tissues, but imprinted X inactivation (paternal X silencing) has been identified in the extraembryonic membranes of the mouse, rat, and cow. Few other species have been studied for this trait, and the data from studies of the human placenta have been discordant or inconclusive. Here, we quantify X inactivation using RNA sequencing of placental tissue from reciprocal hybrids of horse and donkey (mule and hinny). In placental tissue from the equid hybrids and the horse parent the allelic expression pattern was consistent with random X inactivation, and imprinted X inactivation can clearly be excluded. We characterized horse and donkey XIST gene, and demonstrated that XIST allelic expression in female hybrid placental and fetal tissues is negatively correlated with the other X-linked genes chromosome-wide, which is consistent with the XIST-mediated mechanism of X inactivation discovered previously in mice. As the most structurally and morphologically diverse organ in mammals, the placenta also appears to show diverse mechanisms for dosage compensation that may result in differences in conceptus development across species. Examine allelic expression from individual samples of invasive trophoblast tissue of the chorionic girdle from gestation day 33-34 conceptuses of 5 horses, 3 donkeys, 6 mules, and 1 hinny.

Project description:Embryo implantation in the mare occurs just over one month after fertilization, coinciding with the production of chorionic gonadotropin. The factors that regulate this late implantation in the mare, and whether they are unique or shared with more invasive embryos, remains poorly understood. This study aimed to determine and compare the transcriptome and subpopulations of endometrial cells before and after embryo implantation in the horse. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to characterize the transcriptome of nearly 97 000 endometrial cells collected from biopsies of the endometrium at the beginning (day 33 of gestation) and the end of the embryo implantation (day 42 of gestation) in mares. Sixteen immune and 24 non-immune cell clusters were identified representing all known main cell populations, as well as subpopulations of horse immune cells such as resident innate lymphoid cells and mucosal-associated invariant T cells. Contrary to current knowledge, endometrial natural killer (eNK) cells were the most abundant endometrial leukocyte population during implantation in horses. Moreover, eNK cells not only expressed genes which may interact with fetal MHC I such as LY49F but also exert immunoregulatory functions regardless of MHC I expression such as CD96/TIGIT. Analogous to other species studied, upregulation of CXCR4 was found in several subpopulations of immune cells. Our results suggest that despite distinctive and later placentation compared with humans, horses share some key similarities in the mechanisms of embryo implantation.

Project description:We undertook gene expression microarray experiments to identify genes that are differentially expressed in invasive (Chorionic Girdle) and non-invasive (Chorion) placental tissue, and resting and Pokeweed Mitogen (PWM) stimulated horse lymphocytes. Conceptus tissues were dissected to obtain chorionic girdle, and chorion. Freshly isolated horse peripheral blood lymphocytes were split and harvested immediately, or stimulated with PWM and harvested over a five day period. These experiments utilized a commercially available Agilent horse array that featured >43,000 probes on a 4x44k array format.
