Project description:This article contains raw and processed data related to research published by Swartz et al. [1]. Proteomics data from liver of postpartum dairy cows were obtained by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry following protein extraction. Differential abundance between liver of cows experiencing either negative energy balance (NEB, n=6) or positive energy balance (PEB, n=4) at 17±3 DIM was quantified using MS1 intensity based label-free. There is a paucity of studies examining the associations of NEB with the liver proteome in early lactation dairy cows. Therefore, our objective was to characterize the differences in the liver proteome in periparturient dairy cows experiencing naturally occurring NEB compared to cows in PEB. In this study, multiparous Holstein dairy cows were milked either 2 or 3 times daily for the first 30 days in milk (DIM) to alter energy balance, and were classified retrospectively as NEB (n=18) or PEB (n=22). Liver biopsies were collected from 10 cows (n=5 from each milking frequency), that were retrospectively classified according to their energy balance (NEB, n=6; PEB, n=4). The liver proteome was characterized using label-free quantitative shotgun proteomics. This novel dataset contains 2,741 proteins were identified, and 68 of those were differentially abundant between NEB and PEB (P≤0.05 and FC±1.5); these findings are discussed in our recent research article [1]. The present dataset of liver proteome can be used as either biological markers for disease or therapeutic targets to improve metabolic adaptations to lactation in postpartum dairy cattle.

Project description:Analyses of new genomic, transcriptomic or proteomic data commonly result in trashing many unidentified data escaping the ‘canonical’ DNA-RNA-protein scheme. Testing systematic exchanges of nucleotides over long stretches produces inversed RNA pieces (here named “swinger” RNA) differing from their template DNA. These may explain some trashed data. Here analyses of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data of the pathogenic Tropheryma whipplei according to canonical genomic, transcriptomic and translational 'rules' resulted in trashing 58.9% of DNA, 37.7% RNA and about 85% of mass spectra (corresponding to peptides). In the trash, we found numerous DNA/RNA fragments compatible with “swinger” polymerization. Genomic sequences covered by «swinger» DNA and RNA are 3X more frequent than expected by chance and explained 12.4 and 20.8% of the rejected DNA and RNA sequences, respectively. As for peptides, several match with “swinger” RNAs, including some chimera, translated from both regular, and «swinger» transcripts, notably for ribosomal RNAs. Congruence of DNA, RNA and peptides resulting from the same swinging process suggest that systematic nucleotide exchanges increase coding potential, and may add to evolutionary diversification of bacterial populations.
Project description:Negative energy balance (NEB) is an altered metabolic state in high yielding cows that occurs during the first few weeks postpartum when energy demands for lactation and maintenance exceed the energy supply from dietary intake. NEB can, in turn, lead to metabolic disorders and to reduced fertility. Alterations in the expression of more than 700 hepatic genes have previously been reported in a study of NEB in postpartum dairy cows. miRNAs (microRNA) are known to mediate many alterations in gene expression post transcriptionally. To study the hepatic miRNA content of postpartum dairy cows, including their overall abundance and differential expression, in mild NEB (MNEB) and severe NEB (SNEB) short read RNA sequencing was carried out.
Project description:High yielding dairy cattle undergo a state of NEB (negative energy balance) during the post-partum period when energy demand for lactation and maintenance exceeds energy intake. During this period in order to counteract NEB the liver under goes extensive metabolic and physiological change resulting in alteration in hepatic genes and miRNAs expression. We used Affymetrix Multispecies miRNA-2_0 Array with miRBase version 15 coverage to assess the liver miRNA expression in SNEB (severe NEB) and MNEB (mild NEB) Holstein Friesian cattle during the post-partum period.
Project description:Pneumonia remains the leading cause of death in children under five, but existing diagnostic methods frequently lead to innecessary or mistaken treatment. M. pneumoniae lacks cellular wall so it does not respond to common firs-line antibiotic. Our study aims to guide the diagnosis and treatment by identifying host transcriptomic biomarkers in the blood of children with Mycoplasma pneumoiae pneumonia. Using RNA sequencing, we identified and validated 8 different n-transcript signature that accurately differentiates M. pneumoniae pneumonia from the rest of pneumonias. A strand specific library preparation was completed using NEBNext® Ultra™ II mRNA kit (NEB) and NEB rRNA/globin depletion probes following manufacturer’s recommendations. Individual libraries were normalized using Qubit, pooled together and diluted. The sequencing was performed using a 150 or 75 paired-end configuration in a Novaseq6000 or HiSeq 4000 platforms. Quality control of raw data was carried out using FastQC, alignment and read counting were performed using STAR, alignment filtering was done with SAMtools and read counting was carried out using FeatureCounts. RNAseq data was processed for batch correction using control samples and COMBAT-Seq package.
