Project description:To identify the molecular markers of early pregnancy in pigs, we compared global gene expression profiles of the maternal peripheral blood in pregnant sows with the non-pregnant sows. Peripheral blood sample was collected at 14 days after insemination from the submandibular vein of pregnant and non-pregnant sows respectively, and total RNA was isolated, purified and sent for microarray analysis. This study identified 127 up-regulated and 56 down-regulated genes (FC >= 1.5 and P < 0.05) in peripheral blood from pregnant sows versus non-pregnant sows. Of the differently expressed genes, nine (including LPAR3, RXFP4, GALP, CBR1, CBR2, GPX6, USP18, LHB and NR5A1) were found to exert function related to early pregnancy processes. Seven differentially expressed genes (CHGB, USP18, VWF, LPAR3, NR5A1, PPARD, BIN1) were selected to perform qRT-PCR in the same RNA samples.The expression profiles of these genes detected by qRT-PCR were consistent with those by microarray, which confirmed the reliability of our microarray data.

Project description:Previous results from a genome scan in a F2 Iberian by Meishan intercross showed several chromosome regions associated with litter size traits. In order to identify candidate genes underlying these QTL we have performed an ovary gene expression analysis during pregnancy. F2 sows were ranked by their estimated breeding values for prolificacy, the six sows with higher EBV (HIGH prolificacy) and the six with lower EBV (LOW prolificacy) were selected. Samples were hybridized to Affymetrix porcine expression microarrays. The statistical analysis with a mixed-model approach identified 221 differentially expressed probes, representing 189 genes. These genes were functionally annotated in order to identify the genetic pathways overrepresented. Among the most represented functional groups the first one was immune system response activation against external stimulus. The second group was made up of genes which regulate the maternal homeostasis by complement and coagulation cascades. The last group was involved on lipid and fatty acid enzymes of metabolic processes, which participate in steroidogenesis pathway. In order to identify powerful candidate genes for prolificacy, the second approach of this study was merging microarray data with position information of QTL affecting litter size, previously detected in the same experimental cross. According to this, we have identified 27 differentially expressed genes co-localized with QTL for litter size traits, which fulfill the biological, positional and functional criteria. Twelve ovary samples: six high prolific sows and low prolific sows, slaughtered after 30 days of pregnancy. Each sample is the average between right and left ovary from each sow.

Project description:In our previous sow study, two subpopulations of feed-restricted sows (60% of anticipated feed intake) were identified: ‘Restrict (Risk)’ that mobilized higher levels of body tissue stores (>40MJ ME day-1) compared to ‘Restrict (Non-Risk)’ sows (Patterson et al. Reprod. Fert. Deveopl., 2011, 23, 889-898) and although Risk sows maintain higher litter growth in the weaned litter, this was at the expense of lower embryonic weight in their subsequent litter compared with Non-Risk sows. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms involved, we investigated the gene expression profiles of embryos from Risk and Non-Risk litters in this experiment.

Project description:Primiparous sows were randomly allocated to two treatments and were separated from piglets 8h daily from Day 21 of lactation companied with daily boar exposure for oestrus detection until weaning (Day 28). Gene expression of Day 9 embryos were compared between control sows (FE; sows artificially inseminated when in heat during lactation ) and Skip-a-Heat sows (SE; sows in heat during lactation and artificially inseminated on the following oestrus cycle).

Project description:To investigate the effects of HPG axis on reproductive function and the underlying mechanisms involved, six libraries, including hypothalamic, pituitary and ovarian samples (termed A, B and C) from the sows in normal estrus and the corresponding samples (termed A1, B1 and C1) from the sows in which anestrus was caused by inactive ovaries, were constructed and sequenced to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different HPG axises. A total of 710 (392 up and 318 down), 707 (283 up and 424 down), and 956 (635 up and 321 down) DEGs were identified in A vs. A1, B vs. B1 and C vs. C1, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses showed that the DEGs were most enrichment in neuropeptide hormone activity, ovarian steroidogenesis, FoxO signaling pathway and GnRH signaling pathway etc.

Project description:Objectives: To determine whether disease processes related to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) are reflected in gene expression profiles of nasal mucosa. Methods: Nasal brushings of the inferior turbinate were obtained from 32 patients with GPA (10 with active nasal disease, 13 with prior nasal disease, 9 with no history of nasal disease) and a composite comparator group with and without inflammatory nasal disease (12 healthy people, 15 with sarcoidosis, 8 with allergic rhinitis). Differential gene expression was assessed between subgroups of GPA and comparators. Results: 339 genes were differentially expressed between the GPA and comparator groups (absolute fold change > 1.5; false discovery rate < 0.05). Top canonical pathways upregulated in nasal brushings from patients with GPA include granulocyte adhesion and diapedesis (p=8.6 E-22), agranulocyte adhesion and diapedesis (p=1.3 E-14), interleukin 10 signaling (3.0 E-11), and TREM1 signaling (9.0 E-11). A set of genes differentially expressed in GPA independent of nasal disease activity status included genes related to epithelial barrier integrity (fibronectin 1, desmosomal proteins) and several matricellular proteins (e.g. osteonectin, osteopontin). Significant overlap of differentially expressed genes was observed between active and prior nasal disease GPA subgroups. Peripheral blood neutrophil and mononuclear gene expression levels associated with GPA were similarly altered in the nasal gene expression profiles of patients with active or prior nasal disease. Conclusions: Profiling the nasal transcriptome in GPA reveals gene expression signatures related to innate immunity, inflammatory cell chemotaxis, extracellular matrix composition, and epithelial barrier integrity. Airway-based expression profiling is feasible and informative in GPA.

Project description:We demonstrated that a maternal antibiotic treatment can change intestinal development of the offspring piglets permanently by showing that maternal gestational antibiotic treatment affects intestinal development in offspring piglets for a period of at least seven weeks after the antibiotic treatment in the sows was finished. It was shown that immediately after birth the piglets from amoxicillin treated sows, showed upregulation of genes involved in processes related to ‘tight junctions’ and ‘immunoglobulins’. In addition, these piglets had significantly lower number of goblet cells. Together, this may lead to a gut wall that is more rapidly closed in piglets from amoxicillin treated sows, affecting the uptake of immunoglobulins and the intestinal development. Later in life, around weaning, gene expression and morphological data indicate that the crypts of piglets from amoxicillin treated sows deepen around weaning as an effect of the amoxicillin treatment which in combination with the upregulation of genes involved in cell cycle processes, ribosomal activity and protein degradation might imply that the intestinal development, the subsequent differentiation of cells or the timing of these processes was delayed by the maternal antibiotic treatment.

Project description:The objective of modern pig breeding is to exhaust the genetic potential in reproduction performance of sows regarding to litter size and litter weight of piglets. During gestation period, umbilical cord contributes to placenta-fetal communication and plays an indispensable role in the intrauterine embryonic development. In this study, we attempted to analyze the molecular mechanism of reproductive declined in high-parity sows from the perspective of umbilical cord blood. Firstly, we analyzed the reproductive character data of sows, and then the histological analysis of umbilical cord phenotype was performed. Next, we evaluated the effect of umbilical cord blood exosomes (UCB-EXO) on angiogenesis. Moreover, the expression characteristics of miRNA in UCB-EXO of high-parity sows with poor reproductive performance (OS) and multiparous sows with excellent reproductive performance (MS) were analyzed. Results showed that the reproductive performance performed best at 3rd-7th and gradually decreased after 8th parities. Angiogenesis was repressed in OS piglets. Moreover, the Exo-MS exhibited pro-angiogenesis properties, with those of Exo-OS were diminished. With the increase of parities, the angiogenesis and immune function of sows decreased significantly, greatly limited the reproductive potential of sows. The data demonstrated that miRNAs of UCB-EXO played a central role in intrauterine development and suggested a novel possible explanation for reproductive potential, provides reference for increasing female reproductive efficiency.
