Project description:GCs were collected from HFs and AFs , to use second-generation high-throughput sequencing for whole-transcriptome analysis, respectively. In total, 1861 and 1075 mRNAs, 159 and 24 miRNAs, 123 and 100 lncRNAs, and 58 and 54 circRNAs were identified to be differentially expressed (DE) in up-regulated and down-regulated. Enrichment of functions and signaling pathways of the DEgenes showed that most of DEmRNAs and targets of DEmiRNAs, DElncRNAs and DEcricRNAs were annotated to the categories of ‘PI3K-Akt signaling pathway’, ‘ECM-receptor interaction’, ‘Focal adhesion’, ‘mTOR signaling pathway ’ ‘TGF-beta signaling pathway’, ‘Rap1 signaling pathway’, and ‘Estrogen signaling pathway’. The ceRNA (competing endogenous RNA) network was constructed based on ceRNA theory further revealed regulatory roles of these DERNAs in granulosa cells of buffalo atretic follicles. A large number of mRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, and miRNAs in buffalo granulosa were altered in healthy and atretic follicles, which may play crucial roles in atretic of buffalo follicles through the ceRNA regulatory network.
Project description:Background: Background: In bovines, the development and growth of adipose involves many physiological processes and plays an extremely important role in the quality of beef, however, the regulatory mechanisms underlying the differences in meat quality are largely unknown. Therefore, a buffalo adipose transcriptome analysis was performed to compare gene expression profiles between different growth stages. Results: Finally, a total of 21,693 mRNAs were obtained, of which 2506 were significantly differentially expressed mRNAs in the two groups, 9494 lncRNAs, a total of 281 lncRNAs and 2506 mRNAs showed significant differential expression patterns and 14990 between the two buffaloes CircRNA, 252 circRNAs were significantly differentially expressed between young and adult buffalo.
Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in various tissues and cell types from human, monkey, porcine and mouse. However, expression profile of lncRNAs across Guangxi native cattle and swamp buffalo muscle development has never been investigated. Here, we examine the expression of lncRNA in cattle and buffalo muscle at adult stage(12 months), exhibiting the first report of lncRNA in the Guangxi native cattle and swamp buffalo muscle development of a large animal. 16,236 lncRNA candidates were obtained from buffalo skeletal muscle samples, of which a number of lncRNAs were highly abundant, and 2,161 lncRNAs were differentially expressed between buffalo and cattle. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis confirmed the expression profile of these lncRNAs, including several highly abundant lncRNAs, and a subset of differently expressed lncRNAs according to the high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data. These results indicate that abundant lncRNA is differentially expressed in bovine muscle, indicating important and diverse functions in mammalian muscle development.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of differentially expressed genes in different Perilla cultivars
Project description:Liver is the major organ of lipid biosynthesis in chicken. In laying hens, the liver synthesizes most of yolk precursors and transports to the developing follicles to produce eggs. However, a systematic and comprehensive investigation of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs transcriptome in chicken liver across different developmental stages remain clearly unknown. Here, we constructed 12 RNA libraries from liver tissue during four developmental stages, including juvenile period (JP, day 60), sexual maturity period (SM, day 133), peak laying period (PL, day 220) and broodiness period (BP, day 400). A total of 16,930 putative lncRNAs and 18,260 mRNAs were identified among these samples. More than half of identified lncRNAs were intergenic lncRNAs (lincRNAs), accounting for 53.70%. The temporal expression pattern showed that lncRNAs were more restricted than mRNAs. We identified numerous differentially expressed lncRNAs (DE lncRNA) and mRNAs (DEGs) by pairwise comparisons between the four developmental stages and found that vitellogenin 2 (VTG2), riboflavin binding protein (RBP), and a novel protein-coding gene were differentially expressed in all stages. Time-series analysis showed that the module with up-regulated genes were enriched in related to lipid metabolism process. Co-expression networks suggested the functional relatedness between mRNAs and lncRNAs and the results showed the DE-lncRNAs also mainly involve in lipid biosynthesis and metabolism process. These results suggest the transcriptome variation of liver in different developmental stages and improve the comparative understandings of molecular mechanisms of liver development in chickens.
Project description:The objective of this study was to identify the expression profile of miRNAs in porcine oocytes derived from follicles of different sizes using RNA high throughput sequencing technology. Oocytes were aspirated from large (3-6 mm) or small (<2 mm) ovarian follicles and tested for developmental competence and chromatin configurations. Small RNA libraries were constructed from both groups and then sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq500. Oocytes from large follicles showed higher developmental competence and different chromatin configuration compared to small oocyte group. In total, 167 and 162 known miRNAs were detected in large and small oocyte groups, respectively with 153 miRNAs were commonly expressed in both groups. In addition, 155 predicted novel miRNAs were detected and quantified. MiR-205, miR-16, miR-148a-3p, miR-125b, and let-7 family were among the top 10 highly abundantly expressed miRNAs in both oocyte groups. Further analysis showed that 8 miRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) between both groups (>2 fold change) with 4 up- and 4 down-regulated miRNAs in large compared to small oocyte group. Target gene prediction followed by KEGG pathway analysis revealed 46 pathways that were enriched with miRNA-target genes. Oocyte meiosis pathway and signaling pathways including FoxO, PI3K-Akt, TGFβ, and cAMP were predictably targeted by DE miRNAs. These results give more insights into the potential role of miRNAs in controlling oocyte developmental competence.
