Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the genetic basis of heritable spinal curvature would benefit medicine and aquaculture. Heritable spinal curvature among otherwise healthy children (i.e. Idiopathic Scoliosis and Scheuermann kyphosis) accounts for more than 80% of all spinal curvatures and imposes a substantial healthcare cost through bracing, hospitalizations, surgery, and chronic back pain. In aquaculture, the prevalence of heritable spinal curvature can reach as high as 80% of a stock, and thus imposes a substantial cost through production losses. The genetic basis of heritable spinal curvature is unknown and so the objective of this work is to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting heritable spinal curvature in the curveback guppy. Prior work with curveback has demonstrated phenotypic parallels to human idiopathic-type scoliosis, suggesting shared biological pathways for the deformity.ResultsA major effect QTL that acts in a recessive manner and accounts for curve susceptibility was detected in an initial mapping cross on LG 14. In a second cross, we confirmed this susceptibility locus and fine mapped it to a 5 cM region that explains 82.6% of the total phenotypic variance.ConclusionsWe identify a major QTL that controls susceptibility to curvature. This locus contains over 100 genes, including MTNR1B, a candidate gene for human idiopathic scoliosis. The identification of genes associated with heritable spinal curvature in the curveback guppy has the potential to elucidate the biological basis of spinal curvature among humans and economically important teleosts.

Project description:Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder that is characterized by the clinical triad of benign skin tumors - so-called fibrofolliculomas, recurrent pneumothoraces due to pulmonary cysts and the formation of kidney tumors. The molecular function of Folliculin (FLCN), the protein product of the BHD gene mutated in this syndrome, has remained elusive to a large extent. Animal models such as mouse, rat and canine models have been used to elucidate parts of the pathway in which FLCN plays a role showing it to interfere with AMP-kinase and mTOR signaling. Caenorhabditis elegans provides - due to its simple genetic amenability and large brood size - the perfect tool to study signal transduction pathways in detail. Thus, we decided to examine F22D3.2 (flcn-1) - a putative orthologue of FLCN in the nematode. We established the first gene expression profiles of a strain harboring a mutation in flcn-1 compared to WTN2 allowing for a first insight into the function of this gene in C. elegans. This study examines the transcriptome of the flcn-1 mutant strain RB1035 in comparison to WTN2 in order to identify differentially regulated genes.

Project description:To study the underlying molecular mechanisms during the Varroa destructor life cycle, we carried out transcriptomic profiling of seven stages: young mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), phoretic mites (collected on adult bees), arresting mites (collected in unsealed L5 brood cells), pre-laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing moving larva), laying mites (collected from sealed brood cells containing pre-pupae), post-laying mites (collected from capped brood cells containing purple-eye and white-body pupae P5), emerging mites (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells). In addition, we sampled non-reproducing mites (collected from P5 brood cells, but without offspring), males (collected from P8 to P9 brood cells), and phoretic mites artificially reared in cages with adult bees. This study was performed using Apis mellifera L. honey bee colonies naturally infested by Varroa destructor mites. Adult mites were collected from 4 unrelated colonies.

RNA was prepared from pre-reproductive adults in both WTN2 and RB1035 (harboring a flcn-1 mutant allele, mutant worms had been backcrossed wo WTN2 8 times) using biological triplicates. RNA was labeled and hybridized to Agilent C. elegans whole genome microarrays and scanned using a Agilent Technologies Scanner G2505C US22502540.

Project description:The family concerns 46 offspring of the sire BC1 n°1940 (produced from an F1 male obtained by-intercrossing two fat (FL) and lean (LL) meat-type chicken lines that divergently selected on fatness [Leclercq et al. 1980]) mated with 8 LL females. Hepatic transcriptomic profiles were obtained using the chicken 20K oligochip (ARK-genomics). The 46 chickens were fed ad libitum using a conventional starter diet (0-3 weeks: 12.8 MJ of metabolizable energy) and then a growing broiler diet (4-9 weeks: 13.0 Mj of metabolizable energy). Light/dark periods were 24h light for the first 2 days, then 14h light/10h night up to slaughtering. At 4 weeks of age, blood samples were collected for DNA extraction and genotyping. At 9 weeks of age, the birds were fed ad libitum for 4 hours minimum after overnight fasting and then weighed and sacrificed by electrical stunning in the experimental processing plant (Station de Recherches Avicoles, Inra, Nouzilly, France). Following sacrifice, livers were collected, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until RNA extraction for transcriptome analyses.

Project description:In mammalian species, the first days after birth are an important period for survival and the rates of mortality before weaning are high. In pigs, the perinatal deaths average 20% of the litter, with important economic and societal consequences. Among the factors influencing piglet survival at birth, the maturity is likely to be one of the most important. Maturity can be defined as the outcome of complex mechanisms of intra-uterine development and maturation occurring during the last month of gestation. Here, we provide new insights on maturity by studying the end of gestation at two different stages (three weeks before term and close to term) in two breeds of pigs that strongly differ in terms of neonatal survival. Since metabolomics is a promising approach for phenotype characterization or biomarker discovery, we provide a complete understanding of the metabolome of the fetuses in late gestation in three fluids (plasma, urine, and amniotic fluid). We found that biological processes related to amino acid and carbohydrate metabolisms are critical for piglet maturity. We also confirmed some previously described metabolites associated with delayed growth. Altogether, our study proposes new routes for a better characterization of piglet maturity at birth.

Project description:Hedgehog morphogen GRD-1 regulates C. elegans growth and metabolism downstream of TOR complex 2. Both Hedgehog (Hh) signaling and target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2) are evolutionarily conserved pathways that regulate growth and metabolism. In C. elegans, loss of Hh morphogens often leads to developmental arrest, while loss of essential TORC2 component RICTOR (rict-1) causes delayed development, reduced brood, small size, increased fat, and shortened lifespan. Here we report that knockdown of Hh-related morphogen grd-1 causes developmental acceleration rather than arrest by speeding up molting transitions. Further, we show that RNAi to grd-1 not only suppresses the slow growth of rict-1 mutants, but also normalizes multiple abnormalities downstream of TORC2 including restoration of lifespan to near normal and partial rescue of low brood, small body size, and increased fat. Mechanistically, grd-1 slows growth downstream of TORC2 at least in part by increasing transcription of paraquat mediator 1 (PQM-1) target genes. Given the important role of TORC2 in governance of development, these data implicate grd-1 and pqm-1 as critical executors of organismal growth slowing in response to unfavorable growth conditions downstream of the nutrient sensor TORC2 in C. elegans.
