Project description:Seasonal weight loss is one of the most important limitations to ruminant production in drought-prone regions. In these regions and under the dry season, animals may lose up to 30% of their body weight, conditioning production performance. It is of the utmost importance to understand the physiological basis of tolerance to SWL, particularly by contrasting breeds that are susceptible and tolerant to SWL. In this study, transcriptomics was used to describe the gene expression effects of feed restriction in dairy goat of two breeds with different SWL tolerance: Majorera (tolerant) and Palmera (susceptible). Two control and two restricted groups per breed were established: Majorera Control (adequately fed; MC; n=4), Palmera Control (adequately fed; PC; n=6), Majorera Restricted (feed restricted; ME; n=5) and Palmera Restricted (feed restricted; PE; n=4). On day 22 of the trial, mammary gland biopsies were collected for transcriptomics analysis. Results were obtained using Next Generation RNA sequencing and validation using qPCR.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Seasonal weight loss (SWL) is a very important limitation to the production of ruminants in the Mediterranean and Tropical regions. In these areas, long dry seasons lead to poor pastures with low nutritional value. During the dry season, ruminants, particularly those raised in extensive production systems, lose around 30% of their body weight. Seasonal weight loss has important consequences on animal productive performance and health. In this study, RNA sequencing was used to characterize feed restriction effects in dairy goat of 2 breeds with different SWL tolerance: Majorera (tolerant) and Palmera (susceptible). Nine Majorera and ten Palmera goats were randomly distributed in a control and a restricted group: Majorera Control (adequately fed; MC; n?=?4), Palmera Control (adequately fed; PC; n?=?6), Majorera Restricted (feed restricted; ME; n?=?5) and Palmera Restricted (feed restricted; PE; n?=?4). On day 22 of the trial, mammary gland biopsies were collected for transcriptomics analysis. RESULTS:From these samples, 24,260 unique transcripts were identified. From those, 82 transcripts were differentially expressed between MC and ME, 99 between PC and PE, twelve between both control groups and twenty-nine between both restricted groups. CONCLUSIONS:Feed restriction affected several biochemical pathways in both breeds such as: carbohydrate and lipid transport; intracellular trafficking, RNA processing and signal transduction. This research also highlights the importance or involvement of the genes in tolerance (ENPP1, S-LZ, MT2A and GPNB) and susceptibility (GPD1, CTPS1, ELOVL6 and NR4A1) to SWL with respectively higher expression in the Majorera restriced group and the Palmera restricted group in comparison to the control groups. In addition, results from the study may be extrapolated to other dairy ruminant species.

Project description:Guard hair and cashmere undercoat are developed from primary and secondary hair follicle, respectively. Little is known about the gene expression differences between primary and secondary hair follicle cycling. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from cashmere and milk goats grown at four different seasons. We studied the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the yearly hair follicle cycling, and between cashmere and milk goats. WNT, NOTCH, MAPK, BMP, TGFβ and Hedgehog signaling pathways were involved in hair follicle cycling in both cashmere and milk goat. However, Milk goat DEGs between different months were significantly more than cashmere goat DEGs, with the largest difference being identified in December. Some expression dynamics were confirmed by quantitative PCR and western blot, and immunohistochemistry. This study offers new information sources related to hair follicle cycling in milk and cashmere goats, which could be applicable to improve the wool production and quality.

Project description:The mammary gland redeveloped to the pre-pregnancy state during involution, which shows that the mammary cells have the characteristics of remodeling. The rapidity and degree of mammary gland involution are different between mice and dairy livestock (dairy cows and dairy goats). However, the molecular genetic mechanism of miRNA in involution and remodeling of goat mammary gland has not yet been clarified. Therefore, this study carried out the RNA-sequencing of nonlactating mammary gland tissue of dairy goats in order to reveal the transcriptome characteristics of miRNA in nonlactating mammary tissues and clarify the molecular genetic mechanism of miRNA in mammary cell involution and remodeling.

Project description:Robust human-goat chimerism was achieved by transplanting human CD34+Lin- cord blood cells into fetal goats. We observed a broad distribution of GFP-marked human cells in non-hematopoietic organs including kidney, muscle, lung, and heart of transplant goats. Various marker techniques indicated that human genes were expressed in chimeric livers and blood.

Project description:Transportation stress causes significant changes in physiological responses in goats; however, studies exploring the transcriptome of stress are very limited. This study was conducted to analyze the transcriptome of stress and meat quality in goats using RNA-seq technology. Fifty-four male Spanish goats (8-mo old; BW = 29.7 ± 2.03 kg) were randomly subjected to one of three treatments (TRT; n = 18 goats / treatment): (i) transported for 180 min, (ii) transported for 30 min, or (iii) held in pens (control). Blood samples were collected before and after treatment for stress hormone, metabolite, and transcriptomic analysis. RNA-Seq technology was used to obtain the transcriptome profiles of blood. Analysis of physiological data using SAS showed that plasma cortisol concentrations were higher (P < 0.01) in 180 min and 30 min groups compared to the control group. A similar effect was noticed in plasma non-esterified fatty acid concentrations. Glucose concentrations were the lowest in the control group, highest in the 180 min group, and intermediate in the 30 min group (P < 0.01, while plasma creatine kinase concentrations were not significantly influenced by TRT. Neutrophil counts were higher (P < 0.01) and lymphocyte counts were lower (P < 0.01) in 180 min group compared to 30 min or control groups. The DESeq2 software identified a total of 430 DEGs for control vs. 30 min comparison, of which 127 genes were upregulated. For 180 min vs. control comparison, 741 DEGs were upregulated. Enrichment analysis of DEGs related to transportation stress through Gene Ontology and KEGG databases revealed that the DEGs related to inflammatory pathways, caspases, and apoptosis such as IL1R2, CASP14, CD14, TLR4, and MAPK14 were highly expressed in the transported group of goats compared to non-transported goats. Stress in goats leads to a sequence of events at cellular and molecular levels that causes inflammation and apoptosis and is also reflected in blood metabolites and leukocyte counts.

Proteomic changes in the milk of water buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) with subclinical mastitis due to intramammary infection by Staphylococcus aureus and by non-aureus staphylococci. Sci Rep, 2019, 9 (1), 15850. Here, we reported both a characterization of goat milk proteins and a panel of differential proteins specific of S. Aureus-infected milk that mostly affected proteins involved in defense response processes and cytoskeleton organization. In conclusion, our results provide a depth characterization of milk proteins in goat samples uninfected and infected with S. Aureus, describe the changes induced by LHU and LHS subclinical intramammary infection and suggest indications to reveal subclinical staphylococcal mastitis in goat by a proteomic investigation of milk.

Project description:Genetic (animal species, breed and genotype) has a considerable effect on milk composition. In particular, goats present a remarkable polymorphism at the alpha-S1-casein (CSN1S1) locus which results in large differences in milk protein content and indirectly in milk fat content and its fatty acids composition. In order to decipher the mammary metabolic pathways involved, we examined the effect of CSN1S1 polymorphism on the expression of 8,379 genes in caprine mammary gland using a bovine oligonucleotide microarray. Six lactating goats fed ad libitum were assigned to 2 groups based on their genotype at the CSN1S1 locus: High vs. Low genotype goats carrying, respectively, two reference alleles associated with high CSN1S1 synthesis and two defective alleles associated with low CSN1S1 synthesis. Keywords: Genotype comparison 6 slides were performed for a total of 3 independent comparisons (Comp1, Comp2, Comp3): each microarray was co-hybridized with one High CSN1S1 genotype goat sample and one Low CSN1S1 genotype goat sample; each hybridization was repeated in a dye-swap manner for a total of 4 spots per oligonucleotide (2 intra- and 2 inter-slides).

Project description:Chloroplast is a subcellular compartment in which solar radiation is used to generate simple sugar compounds in a complex process named photosynthesis. It is very sensitive to environmental fluctuations and your development is intimately related with the development of the whole plant at different stages. Seasonal climate variations can also drive plant growth and development, favoring a metabolic adaptation of the life cycle with changes in the environment. The characterization of chloroplast proteome dynamics can contribute to a better understanding about the mechanisms involved in leaf development process and seasonal variations in this compartment. Therefore, the goal of this studied was to carried out an exploratory analysis of chloroplast alterations during leaf development and seasonal variations in Eucalyptus grandis chloroplast proteome.
