Project description:Oxidative stress is involved in the human diseases and developmental retardation of animals. The molecular mechanisms that mediate the response of neuron to oxidative stress have been extensively studied. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are a type of small non-coding RNAs that regulate nearly all aspects of nerve development and survival, including apoptosis. However, the effect of oxidative stress on the expression of miRNAs of hippocampus of Rongchang piglets, which are regarded as the good production animal and biomedical model has not been investigated. In this study, oxidative stress was induced in newborn piglets by means of intra-muscular injection of iron. Injection of iron significantly increased several markers of oxidative stress in serum of Rongchang piglets. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) technology and bioinformatics were used to uncover the differently expressed miRNAs and target genes induced by oxidative stress in the ventral hippocampus (VH) and dorsal hippocampus (DH) of Rongchang piglets, respectively. Results revealed 2790 conserved miRNAs belonging to 279 miRNA families, 326 known miRNAs and 702 novel miRNAs. The sub-tissue specificity was displayed with 54 differentially expressed miRNAs being found between VH and DH. At the same time, the injection of iron induced 59 and 46 differentially expressed miRNAs in VH and DH, respectively. The analysis of target genes showed that 6 known miRNAs (ssc-miR-183, ssc-miR-383, ssc-miR-193a-5p, ssc-miR-182, ssc-miR-7138-5p and ssc-miR-1271) commonly targeted to ADM2. In addition, GO and KEGG pathway analysis showed that these differentially expressed miRNAs induced by the injection of iron were involved in the pathways that regulate the expression of genes associated with oxidative stress. Our study provided an overview of miRNAs expression profile of functional sub-region of hippocampus in Rongchang piglets and shed light into the significantly changed miRNAs after the injection of iron, which will lead to further understanding of the important roles of miRNAs in hippocampus of Rongchang piglets during the process of oxidative stress.

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction is a common cause of small for gestational age (SGA) infants worldwide. SGA infants are deficient in digestive enzymes required for fat digestion and absorption compared to appropriate for gestational age (AGA), putting them at risk for impaired neurocognitive development. The objective was to determine if a hydrolyzed fat (HF) infant formula containing soy free fatty acids, 2-monoacylglycerolpalmitate, cholesterol, and soy lecithin could increase brain tissue incorporation of essential fatty acids or white matter to enhance brain development in SGA and AGA neonatal piglet models. Sex-matched, littermate pairs of SGA (0.5-0.9kg) and AGA (1.2-1.8kg) 2 day old piglets (N=60) were randomly assigned to control (CON) or HF formula diets in a 2 x 2 factorial design. On day 14, 24 piglets were used for hippocampal RNA-sequencing; the rest began a spatial learning task. On days 26-29, brain structure was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cerebellum and hippocampus were analyzed for fatty acid content. SGA piglets grew more slowly than AGA piglets, with no effect of diet on daily weight gain or weight at MRI. HF diet did not affect brain weight. HF diet increased relative volumes of 7 brain regions and white matter (WM) volume in both SGA and AGA piglets. However, HF did not ameliorate SGA total WM integrity deficits. RNA sequencing revealed SGA piglets had increased gene expression of synapse and cell signaling pathways and decreased expression of ribosome pathways in the hippocampus compared to AGA. HF decreased expression of immune response related genes in the hippocampus of AGA and SGA piglets, but did not correct gene expression patterns in SGA piglets. Piglets learned the T-maze task at the same rate, but SGA HF, SGA CON, and AGA HF piglets had more accurate performance than AGA CON piglets on reversal day 2. HF increased arachidonic acid (ARA) percentage in the cerebellum and total ARA in the hippocampus. HF enhanced brain development in the neonatal piglet measured by brain volume and WM volume in specific brain regions; however, more studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes.

Project description:Recent developments in high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology have had a dramatic impact on our comprehension of the structure and expression profiles of the mammalian transcriptome. This study performed transcriptome analysis of Rongchang pig brains and livers using deep RNA-seq technology to offer insights into potential swine genetic improvements, in addition to examining the use of the Rongchang pig as a biomedical model.By sequencing the mRNA of two extreme tissues, brains and livers, a total of 8.6 Gb of sequencing was obtained, with 91% resulting in clean reads, with approximately 43 million reads from the brain and 44 million reads from the liver samples. This analysis revealed tissue specificity through the identification of 5,575 and 4,600 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in brains and livers respectively. Functional analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed that the top ten functional pathways with highly enriched gene expression in brains were associated with nerves, while in livers the pathways were predominantly related to metabolism. Furthermore, 83 neuropeptide gene transcripts, 69 neuropeptide receptor gene transcripts, 10 pro-neuropeptide convertase gene transcripts, 12 insulin-like growth factors binding protein gene transcripts, and other neuropeptide related protein gene transcripts were identified, to reveal different expression profiles in brain and liver samples. In this study, major characteristics of the transcriptional profiles of Rongchang pig brains and livers were present. Overall, our data provides useful information for future research pertaining to swine livestock and biomedical research.

Project description:This study examines whether maternal low ω6:ω3 ratio diet and offspring seaweed (SW) supplementation can improve offspring immunity and performance by elucidating the effects on piglet serum proteome. A total of 16 sows were given either a standard (CR, 13:1) or low ω6:ω3 ratio diet (LR, 4:1) during pregnancy and lactation and their male weaned piglets were supplemented with SW powder (4 g/kg, SW) or not (CT) in a 21-day post-weaning (PW) diet. Four PW piglet groups were then identified based on dam and piglet treatment, namely CRCT, CRSW, LRCT, and LRSW (n = 10 each). Piglet serum collected at weaning and d21 PW were analyzed (n = 5 each) using TMT-based quantitative proteomics and validated by appropriate assays.

Project description:Purpose: RNA-Seq has become a powerful tool for investigating transcriptional profiles in gene expression analysis, which would help to reveal the molecular mechanism of Clostridium perfringens type C infecting the piglets. In this study, we analyzed miRNA profiles of the ileum of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type C. Methods: 30 normal 7-day-old piglets (Y x L), without infecting Clostridium perfringens type C, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were selected as experimental subjects. 25 piglets were randomly selected as the experimental group, which were disposed once a day for 5 days. Each piglet was dosed with 1 ml of bouillon culture-medium inoculated Clostridium perfringens type C at 37℃ for 16h, which approximate to 1 x10e9 CFU per ml. Then, 5 piglets were randomly selected as the control group (IC), which were taken the equal volume medium for 5 days.Based on total diarrhea scores, 25 piglets were ranked from high to low. The top and last five piglet were considered as sensitive group (IS) and resistant group (IR), respectively. Finally, ileum were collected and sequenced for miRNA. Result: 53 differentially expressed miRNAs were found. KEGG pathway analysis for target genes revealed that these miRNAs were involved in ErbB signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, Jak-STAT signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway. The expression correlation analysis between miRNAs and target genes revealed that the expression of miR-7134-5p had negative correlation with target NFATC4, miR-500 had negative correlation with target ELK1, HSPA2 and IL7R, and miR-92b-3p had negative correlation with target CLCF1 in ileum of IR vs IS group, suggesting that miR-7134-5p targeting to NFATC4, miR-500 targeting to ELK1, HSPA2 and IL7R, and miR-92b-3p targeting to CLCF1 were probably involved in piglet resisting C. perfringens type C. Conclusions: The results will provide value resources for better understanding of the genetic basis of C. perfringens type C resistance in piglet and lays a new foundation for identifying novel markers of C. perfringens type C resistance

Project description:Iron is an important trace element that affects the growth and development of animals and regulates oxygen transport, hematopoiesis, and hypoxia adaptations. Wujin pig has unique hypoxic adaptability and iron homeostasis; however, the specific regulatory mechanisms have rarely been reported. This study randomly divided 18 healthy Wujin piglets into three groups: the control group, supplemented with 100 mg/kg iron (as iron glycinate); the low-iron group, no iron supplementation; and the high-iron group, supplemented with 200 mg/kg iron (as iron glycinate). The pre-feeding period was 5 days, and the formal period was 30 days. Serum was collected from empty stomachs before slaughter and at slaughter to detect changes in the serum iron metabolism parameters. Gene expression in the liver was analyzed via transcriptome analysis to determine the effects of low- and high- iron diets on transcriptome levels. Correlation analysis was performed for apparent serum parameters, and transcriptome sequencing was performed using weighted gene co-expression network analysis to reveal the key pathways underlying hypoxia regulation and iron metabolism. The main results are as follows. (1) Except for the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) content (between the low- and high-iron groups), significant differences were not observed among the serum iron metabolic parameters. The serum HIF-1 content of the low-iron group was significantly higher than that of the high-iron group (P<0.05). (2) Sequencing analysis of the liver transcriptome revealed 155 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the low-iron and control groups, 229 DEGs between the high-iron and control groups, and 279 DEGs between the low- and high-iron groups . Bioinformatics analysis showed that the HIF-1 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathways were the key pathways for hypoxia regulation and iron metabolism. Four genes were selected for qPCR validation, and the results were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing data. In summary, the serum iron metabolism parameter results showed that under the influence of low- and high-iron diets, Wujin piglets maintain a steady state of physiological and biochemical indices via complex metabolic regulation of the body, which reflects their stress resistance and adaptability. The transcriptome results revealed the effects of low-iron and high-iron diets on the gene expression level in the liver and showed that the HIF-1 and TGF-β signaling pathways were key for regulating hypoxia adaptability and iron metabolism homeostasis under low-iron and high-iron diets. Moreover, HIF-1α and HEPC were the key genes. The findings provide a theoretical foundation for exploring the regulatory pathways and characteristics of iron metabolism in Wujin pigs.

In this study, we analyzed miRNA profiles of the spleen of piglets caused by Clostridium perfringens type C. Methods: 30 normal 7-day-old piglets (Y x L), without infecting Clostridium perfringens type C, Escherichia coli and Salmonella, were selected as experimental subjects. 25 piglets were randomly selected as the experimental group, which were disposed once a day for 5 days.

Then, 5 piglets were randomly selected as the control group (SC), which were taken the equal volume medium for 5 days.Based on total diarrhea scores, 25 piglets were ranked from high to low. The top and last five piglet were considered as sensitive group (SS) and resistant group (SR), respectively. Finally, spleen were collected and sequenced for miRNA. Result: 88 differentially expressed miRNAs were found. KEGG pathway analysis for target genes revealed that these miRNAs were involved in MAPK signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway and ECM-receptor interaction. And 4 miRNAs (miR-133b, miR-532-3p, miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p) of closely related to piglets resistance to C. perfringens type C were obtained. The expression correlation analysis between these miRNAs and target genes revealed that the expression of miR-133b and miR-532-3p had negative correlation with their target NFATC4, miR-339-5p had negative correlation with target HTRA3, and miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p had negative correlation with target TNFAIP8L2 in spleen, suggesting that miR-133b and miR-532-3p targeting to NFATC4, miR-339-5p targeting to HTRA3, and miR-339-5p and miR-331-3p targeting to TNFAIP8L2 were probably involved in piglet resisting C. perfringens type C. Conclusions:The results will provide value resources for better understanding of the genetic basis of C. perfringens type C resistance in piglet and lays a new foundation for identifying novel markers of C. perfringens type C resistance.
