Global gene expression profiling following a dietary selenium supplementation in sheep (Ovis aries).

ABSTRACT: In the present study, we studied the effect of dietary selenium (Se) supplementation on the transcriptomic profile of sheep. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of Se-supplementation on the overall transcriptome of sheep, the altered pathways, and the biological processes related to it . A custom oligo microarray platform (AMADID: 070119) was designed, then used to profile gene expression from 20 samples from 10 sheep at two time points (T0; before Se-supplementation, and T40; at the end of a 40-d Se-supplementation period). Isolated and purified total RNAs were individually hybridized to the custom (4x44k) DNA microarray. The comparison of control and treated animal transcriptomes revealed a large set of differentially expressed genes. After functional analysis and qPCR validation, the result showed several pathways and biological processes that have been altered following Se-supplementation to the diet.
