Project description:The objective of this experiment was to use transcriptional profiling of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue to develop a better understanding of the metabolic basis for poor weaned-pig transition. A total of 1,054 pigs were reared in commercial conditions and weighed at birth, weaning, and 3 weeks post- weaning. Transition average daily gain (tADG) was calculated as the average daily gain for the 3-week period post-weaning. Nine pigs from each of the lowest 10th percentile (low tADG) and the 60th-70th percentile (high tADG) were harvested at 3 weeks post-weaning. Differential expression analysis was conduced in both tissues using RNA-Seq methodology mRNA profiling in two different tissues (skeletal muscle and adipose tissue) harvested at 3 weeks post-weaning

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:Mear prodution is the most important trait for sheep. In this study, we performed a Genome-wide association study (GWAS) by using Illumina Ovine SNP50 BeadChip in 329 purebred sheep phenotyped for 11 growth and meat production traits (birth weight, weaning weight, 6-month weight, eye muscle area, fat thickness, pre-weaning gain, post-weaning gain, daily weight gain, height at withers , chest girth and shin circumference). A total of 319 sheep and 48,198 SNPs were fitted using TASSEL 3.0 software as random effects in a mixed linear model. 36 chromosome-wise significant SNPs were identified for 7 traits and 10 of them reached genome-wide significance level consistently for post-weaning gain. Gene annotation was implemented based on the latest version3.1 ovine genome sequence (released October 2012), and meanwhile we referenced genomic information of human, bovine, mouse and rat. More than one-third SNPs (14 out of 36) were located within ovine genes , some other were located close to ovine genes (878bp-398165bp apart).

Project description:Purpose: Using a C57BL6/J mouse model of diet-induced obesity, we observed that mannose supplementation of high fat diet-fed mice prevents weight gain, lowers adiposity, reduces liver steatosis, and improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Mannose increases Bacteroidetes to Firmicutes ratio of the gut microbiota, a signature previously associated with the lean phenotype. These beneficial effects of mannose are observed when supplementation is started early (3 weeks post weaning) but are lost when started later in life (8 weeks post weaning). We profiled transcriptomes of gut microbiota from high fat diet mice supplemented with or without mannose to understand the functional differences of supplementation at 3 weeks post weaning and 8 weeks post weaning. Method: Mice were weaned on high fat diet (HFD) or high fat diet with 2% mannose in drinking water (HFDM). RNA from each mouse for each diet group was isolated individually using Ambion RiboPure Bacteria kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). 1 mg cecal RNA each from 8 mice/diet group was pooled to generate 1 pool/diet for library preparation. The quality of total RNA was assessed by the Agilent Bioanalyzer Nano chip (Agilent Technologies). Total RNA was Ribo-depleted using Ribo-Zero Gold rRNA kit (Epidemiology) (Illumina). RNA-Seq library was constructed from the recovered non-ribosomal RNAs using Truseq Stranded total RNA library preparation kit (Illumina) as per the instructions. Multiplexed libraries were pooled and single-end 50-bp sequencing was performed using an Illumina Hiseq 1500. Results: The comparison of transcriptome profiles of mice supplemented with mannose at 3 weeks post weaning and 8 weeks post weaning shows mannose reduced transcript abundance for glycosyl hydrolases and carbohydrate metabolism when supplied at 3 weeks post weaning. Conclusion: The beneficial effects of mannose in responsive mice (3 weeks post weaning) are at least in part due to reduced energy harvest by gut microbes.

Project description:Purpose: Aim of this study was to determine the miRNAs associated with average daily gain in Kangal Akkaraman lambs. Depending on the average daily gain, two groups were formed as low average daily gain (LDG) and high average daily gain (HDG). Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were separated from blood samples obtained from lambs and RNA was isolated with TRI Reagent (Sigma). Isolated total RNAs from LDG (n = 17) and HDG (n = 21) groups were pooled. miRNA libraries (LDG and HDG groups) were prepared with NEBNext® Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina® (NEB, USA.) and sequenced with Illumina Novaseq. Readings were mapped with the Bowtie program using the Oar_v3.1 sheep reference genome. Differential expression analysis of the two groups was performed using the DESeq R package (1.8.3). Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 18 million sequence reads in HDG and 21 million sequence reads n LDG samples to the ovis aries genome (oar_v3.1). In total, 129 known miRNAs were identified, 134 novel miRNAs were predicted, and 40 differentially expressed miRNAs were found between the groups. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of Kangal type Akkaraman sheep PBMC miRNAs with RNA-seq technology. The obtained sequence reads would provide data for futher breeding studies related to average daily gain in Kangal Akkraman sheep.

Project description:In mammalian species, the first days after birth are an important period for survival and the rates of mortality before weaning are high. In pigs, the perinatal deaths average 20% of the litter, with important economic and societal consequences. Among the factors influencing piglet survival at birth, the maturity is likely to be one of the most important. Maturity can be defined as the outcome of complex mechanisms of intra-uterine development and maturation occurring during the last month of gestation. Here, we provide new insights on maturity by studying the end of gestation at two different stages (three weeks before term and close to term) in two breeds of pigs that strongly differ in terms of neonatal survival. Since metabolomics is a promising approach for phenotype characterization or biomarker discovery, we provide a complete understanding of the metabolome of the fetuses in late gestation in three fluids (plasma, urine, and amniotic fluid). We found that biological processes related to amino acid and carbohydrate metabolisms are critical for piglet maturity. We also confirmed some previously described metabolites associated with delayed growth. Altogether, our study proposes new routes for a better characterization of piglet maturity at birth.

Project description:Initiation of a vitamin A deficient diet in mid-gestation, maintained in the post-weaning diet is sufficient to cause liver and serum retinoid depletion. Wild type C57Bl/6J timed mated pregnant dams were administered either a defined vitamin A sufficient low fat (12 percent kcal from fat) diet or matched vitamin A deficient diet from embryonic day 10.5. Vitamin A sufficient offspring were weaned onto either a high fat diet (60 percent kcal from fat) or maintained on the low fat 12 percent kcal from fat diet for 11 weeks (14 weeks of age). Gestational vitamin A deficient offspring were maintained on the same vitamin A deficient diet until 14 weeks of age. The impact of the maternal diet on a post-weaning high fat diet was compared to a standard maternal breeder diet followed by the post-weaning high fat diet.
