Project description:Purpose: Nutrition is an important factor that regulates reproductive performance of sheep and affects follicle development. However, the correlation between nutrition and follicle development is poorly understood at molecular level. In order to study its possible molecular mechanisms, we performed expression profiling of granulosa cells isolated from sheep that were fed with different nutrition levels during luteal phase. Methods: To do this, ewes received a maintenance diet (M) and their estrus was synchronized by intravaginal progestogen sponges for 12 days. Ewes were randomly divided into the short-term dietary restricted group (R; 0.5ÃM) and nutrient-supplemented group (S; 1.5ÃM). RNA samples were extracted from granulosa cells. Transcriptome libraries from each group were constructed by Illumina Sequencing. Results: In 18,468 detected genes, 170 genes were significantly differentially expressed; of which, 140 genes were up-regulated and 30 genes were down-regulated in group S relative to group R. These genes could be candidates regulating follicular development in sheep. GO, KEGG and Clustering analyses were performed. Conclusions: These data in our study are abundant genomic recourse to expand our understanding of the molecular and cellular events underlying follicle development. Sixteen multiparous Hu sheep (3-4 years; 42.2 ± 1.2 kg) were randomly assigned to two groups: the short-term nutrient-supplemented group (S; n=8), and the dietary restricted group (R; n=8).Expression profiling of granulosa cells were performed by Illumina sequencing platform (HiSeq 2000).

Project description:Tail fat in sheep (Ovis aries), has evolved mainly in response to cold weather for better energy storage. As things stand, too much tail fat in sheep can lead to a reduction in feed utilisation and is also unpopular with consumers due to the excessive fat content in the tail of sheep. Therefore, the need to find the mechanism of tail fat formation is obvious. In this study, we elected to utilise Kazakh sheep, prolific Suffolk sheep, and their hybrid F2 generation as research objects. Sheep transcriptome sequencing technology was employed to screen and explore target candidate genes related to sheep tail fat deposition. Comparison with RNA-seq data from fat-tailed and thin-tailed tissue, the LncRNA-mRNA-miRNA axis was identified as main functional pathway in the formation of fat in tail. Our results offer valuable insights into the fat deposition of sheep and provide a significant genomic resource for future genetic studies and the enhancement of genome-assisted breeding in sheep and other domestic animals.

Project description:To investigate the impact of adding succinate to the diet on the production performance, meat quality, muscle fiber characteristics, and transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, 36 Tan sheep were selected and fed with different levels of succinate (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%) for a 60-day trial period. Overall, compared to the control group, the addition of succinate to the diet improved the production performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality of Tan sheep. It significantly increased dry matter intake, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and the GR value while significantly reducing the shear force and cooking loss of the longissimus dorsi muscle (p<0.05). Furthermore, the addition of succinate to the diet altered the muscle fiber characteristics of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, significantly increasing the fiber diameter and cross-sectional area of type I and type IIa muscle fibers (p<0.05). The addition of 1.0% succinate to the diet altered the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, with 741 differentially expressed genes identified compared to the control group. These differentially expressed genes were involved in various pathways related to lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, and muscle development, such as insulin secretion, insulin resistance, cAMP signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and FoxO signaling, among others. In summary, succinate plays a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism, protein deposition, and glucose and lipid metabolism homeostasis in Tan sheep through insulin signaling pathways and the interaction of muscle cell factors. By modulating the expression of relevant genes, succinate improves the muscle fiber characteristics of Tan sheep, thereby enhancing production performance and meat quality.

Project description:Vegetable oils (VO) are possible substitutes for fish oil in aquafeeds but are limited by their lack of omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA). However, oilseed crops can be modified to produce n-3 LC-PUFA such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids, representing a potential option to fill the gap between supply and demand of these important nutrients. Camelina sativa was metabolically engineered to produce a seed oil with around 15 % total n-3 LC-PUFA to potentially substitute for fish oil in salmon feeds. Post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were fed for 11-weeks with one of three experimental diets containing either fish oil (FO), wild-type Camelina oil (WCO) or transgenic Camelina oil (DCO) as added lipid source to evaluate fish performance, nutrient digestibility, tissue n-3 LC-PUFA, and metabolic impact determined by liver transcriptome analysis. The DCO diet did not affect any of the performance or health parameters studied and enhanced apparent digestibility of EPA and DHA compared to the WCO diet. The level of total n-3 LC-PUFA was higher in all the tissues of DCO-fed fish than in WCO-fed fish with levels in liver similar to those in fish fed FO. Endogenous LC-PUFA biosynthetic activity was observed in fish fed both the Camelina oil diets as indicated by the liver transcriptome and levels of intermediate metabolites such as docosapentaenoic acid, with data suggesting that the dietary combination of EPA and DHA inhibited desaturation and elongation activities. Expression of genes involved in phospholipid and triacylglycerol metabolism followed a similar pattern in fish fed DCO and WCO despite the difference in n-3 LC-PUFA contents.

Project description:Submerged cultivation using low-value agro-industrial side streams allows large-scale and efficient production of fungal mycelia, which has a high nutritional value. As the dietary properties of fungal mycelia in poultry are largely unknown, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of feeding a Pleurotus sapidus (PSA) mycelium as a feed supplement on growth performance, composition of the cecal microbiota and several physiological traits including gut integrity, nutrient digestibility, liver lipids, liver transcriptome and plasma metabolome in broilers. 72 male, 1-day-old Cobb 500 broilers were randomly assigned to three different groups and fed three different adequate diets containing either 0% (PSA-0), 2.5% (PSA-2.5) and 5% (PSA-5.0) P. sapidus mycelium in a three-phase feeding system for 35 days. Each group consisted of 6 cages (replicates) with 4 broilers/cage. Body weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio and apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein, ether extract and amino acids were not different between groups. Metagenomic analysis of the cecal microbiota revealed no differences between groups, except that one α-diversity metric (Shannon index) and the abundance of two low-abundance bacterial taxa (Clostridia UCG 014, Eubacteriales) differed between groups (P < 0.05). Concentrations of total and individual short-chain fatty acids in the cecal digesta and concentrations of plasma lipopolysaccharide and mRNA levels of proinflammatory genes, tight-junction proteins, and mucins in the cecum mucosa did not differ between groups. None of the plasma metabolites analyzed using targeted-metabolomics differed across the groups. Hepatic transcript profiling revealed a total of 144 transcripts to be differentially expressed between group PSA-5.0 and group PSA-0 but none of these genes was regulated greater 2-fold. Considering either the lack of effects or the very weak effects of feeding the P. sapidus mycelium in the broilers it can be concluded that inclusion of a sustainably produced fungal mycelium in broiler diets at the expense of other feed components has no negative consequences on broilers´ performance and metabolism.

Project description:In the present study, we studied the effect of dietary selenium (Se) supplementation on the transcriptomic profile of sheep. The main objective was to evaluate the effect of Se-supplementation on the overall transcriptome of sheep, the altered pathways, and the biological processes related to it . A custom oligo microarray platform (AMADID: 070119) was designed, then used to profile gene expression from 20 samples from 10 sheep at two time points (T0; before Se-supplementation, and T40; at the end of a 40-d Se-supplementation period). Isolated and purified total RNAs were individually hybridized to the custom (4x44k) DNA microarray. The comparison of control and treated animal transcriptomes revealed a large set of differentially expressed genes. After functional analysis and qPCR validation, the result showed several pathways and biological processes that have been altered following Se-supplementation to the diet.
