Project description:The aim of this study was to examine changes in the mRNA transcriptional profile of spermatozoa in Holstein-Friesian bulls. Spermatozoa from bulls divergent for feritlity status were used for this study with 10 High fertility bulls and 10 Low fertility bulls. RNA was extracted and subsequently subjected to miRNAseq analysis. 6 miRNA were identified as differentially expressed in the spermatozoa between bulls of high and low feritlity status.

Project description:Semen quality is extremely important for fertility, and it is easily influenced by environmental factors and can induce subfertility of the next generations. The sperm DNA methylomes of the MZ twin bulls were investigated by WGBS at single-base resolution. We detected DMRs between the twin bulls with divergent sperm qualities. We also conducted transcriptome sequencing for the MZ twin bulls in three replicates. We investigated the relationship between methylation and gene expression.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of subcutaneous adipose in Holstein-Friesian bulls and possible downstream effects on reproduction. Holstein Friesian bull calves with a mean (±S.D.) age and bodyweight of 19 (±8.2) days and 47.5 (±5.3) kg, respectively, were assigned to either a high (n=10) or low (n=10) plane of nutrition. Calves were fed in order to achieve an overall growth rate of 1.08 and 0.5 kg/day for the high and low plane of nutrition treatments, respectively. At 126 days of age, the bulls were euthanized using an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were harvested and RNAseq analysis was performed. At the end of the trial period, there were 745 genes differentially expressed in adipose tissue of bulls on the high plane of nutrition relative to those on the low plane of nutrition (P<0.05; FDR<0.05; fold change >2.0). Plane of nutrition altered the expression of genes involved in energy production and branched chain amino acid degradation. Plane of nutrition was also found to down regulate genes such as leptin and adiponectin which are known to effect reproductive function. This study identifies some of the molecular mechanisms regulated by feeding bulls a high plane of nutrition, which may be incorporated into future breeding programmes for artificial insemination centres.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary and the testes in Holstein-Friesian bulls and possible downstream effects on reproduction. Holstein Friesian bull calves with a mean (±S.D.) age and bodyweight of 19 (±8.2) days and 47.5 (±5.3) kg, respectively, were assigned to either a high (n=10) or low (n=10) plane of nutrition. Calves were fed in order to achieve an overall growth rate of 1.2 and 0.5 kg/day for the high and low plane of nutrition treatments, respectively. At 126 days of age, the bulls were euthanized using an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary and the parenchyma of the testes tissue samples were harvested and RNAseq analysis was performed. At the end of the trial period,

Project description:Abstract Buffalo bulls are the backbone of Indian dairy industry, and the quality of semen donating bulls determine the overall production efficiency of buffalo dairy farms. Seminal plasma (SP) of bulls harbor millions of lipid bilayer nanovesicles known as extracellular vesicles (EVs). These EVs carry a heterogenous cargo of essential biomolecules including fertility associated proteins which contribute to the fertilizing potential of spermatozoa. In this study, we explored various parameters of EVs such as size, concentration and the complete proteome profiles of SP EVs from two distinct fertility groups in order to unravel the differentially abundant proteins that potentially affect the overall fertility of bulls. Through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) it was found that the purified EVs were present in 7 to 14 size exclusion chromatographic (SEC) fractions with sizes ranging from 145 to 256 nm in the high fertile (HF) and low fertile (LF) bulls. Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) confirmed the size of seminal EVs up to 200 nm, and concentrations varying from 2.84 to 6.82 × 1011 and 3.57 to 7.74 × 1011 particles per ml in HF and LF bulls, respectively across all the fractions. No significant difference was observed in the size and concentration of seminal EVs between the HF and LF groups. We identified a total of 1862 and 1807 proteins in seminal EVs of HF and LF bulls, respectively using high throughput LC-MS/MS approach. Out of these total proteins, 1754 proteins were common in both the groups and about 87 proteins were highly abundant in HF group while 1292 were less abundant as compared to LF bulls. Gene ontology (GO) analysis, revealed that the highly abundant proteins in HF group were mainly part of the nucleus and involved in nucleosome assembly along with DNA binding. In addition, highly abundant proteins in EVs of HF group were found to be involved in spermatogenesis, motility, acrosome reaction, capacitation, gamete fusion, and cryotolerance. Two highly abundant proteins of HF EVs, namely protein disulfide-isomerase A4 (PDIA4) and gelsolin (GSN), were successfully immunolocalized on spermatozoa, indicating that these proteins might be transferred to spermatozoa through EVs. The proteins; PDIA4 and GSN are intricately associated with sperm-oocyte fusion and acrosome reaction, respectively, thus they are vital for regulating the fertilizing capacity of sperm. Our evidences clearly support that the protein repertoires in EVs and subsequently their presence on sperm, are strongly associated with sperm functions. Altogether, the current investigation clearly indicates that SPEVs possess crucial protein repertoires which are essential for enhancing the sperm fertilizing capacity.

Project description:Pre-pubertal Holstein bull calves fed a higher plane of nutrition had larger testes, earlier puberty, higher serum LH, testosterone and greater sperm production potential than those fed a restricted diet. In addition, pre-pubertal calves fed a high-nutrition diet had higher IGF-I and more proliferating and differentiating Sertoli cells much earlier in life, compared to those fed normal or low-nutrition diets. The objective was to determine changes in mRNA expression of genes in the testes of bulls fed either a high or low pre-pubertal diet. Holstein bull calves maintained on either a high (20% crude protein (CP) and 71.6% Total Digestible Nutrients (TDN)) or low (12% CP and 64.4% TDN) diet from 2 wk of age, were castrated at 8, 16, 24 and 32 wk and testicular mRNA extracted and sequenced. Differential expression of genes mainly occurred at 16 and 24 wk, with minor changes detected at 32 wk. At 16 wks, functional analysis of DE mRNA with DAVID revealed the common biological processes enriched to be "cholesterol" and "fatty acid biosynthesis" with majority of the genes including HMGCR, HMGCS1, HSD17 being upregulated in high-diet bulls (P<0.05). Major pathways enriched at 16 wks were "cholesterol biosynthesis", "steroid metabolism" and "activation of gene expression by Sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP)" (P<0.05). Mature Sertoli cell marker Connexin 43, was upregulated at 16 wk, whereas an immature Sertoli cell marker, AMH was downregulated at 24 wk, in the high-diet group. Network analysis using IPA, revealed an indirect interaction between insulin family receptor and most upregulated cholesterol biosynthesis genes, implying regulation of testicular function. Thus, enhanced pre-pubertal nutrition in Holstein bulls enhanced testicular cholesterol/steroid biosynthesis and Sertoli cell maturation to promote early reproductive development.

Project description:Sperm carries information to the presumptive embryo upon fertilization in terms of epigenetic codes and transcripts along with the haploid genome. The epigenetic code includes DNA methylation and Histone modifications. During spermatogenesis the chromatin of sperm undergoes wide level of modifications and histone proteins are replaced by Protamine proteins. But some modified Histone forms still remain and they carry epigenetic codes essential for fertility and embryo development. Through this work we are trying to see the difference between H3K4me2 and H3K27me3 kind of histone modifications in spermatozoa of high and low fertility buffalo bulls.
