Project description:Poultry products are an important source of Salmonella enterica. An effective way to reduce food poisoning due to Salmonella would be to breed chickens more resistant to Salmonella. Unfortunately resistance to Salmonella is a complex trait with many factors involved. To learn more about Salmonella resistance mechanisms in young chickens, a cDNA microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression profiles between a Salmonella susceptible and a more resistant chicken line. Newly hatched chickens were orally infected with S. enterica serovar Enteritidis. Since the intestine is the first barrier the bacteria encountersbacteria encounter after oral inoculation, gene expression was investigated in the intestine, from day 1 until day 21 post infection. Differences in gene expression between the susceptible and resistant chicken line were found in control as well as Salmonella infected conditions. In response to the Salmonella infection, the expression of different sets of genes seemed to be affected in the jejunum of the two chicken lines. In the susceptible line this included genes that affect T-cell activation, whereas in the more resistant line, at day 1, macrophage activation seemed to be more affected. At day 7 and 9 most gene expression differences between the two chicken lines were identified under control conditions, indicating a difference in the intestinal development between the two chicken lines which might be linked to the difference in Salmonella susceptibility. The findings in this study have lead to the identification of novel genes and possible cellular pathways of the host involved in Salmonella susceptibility. Keywords: timecourse, disease

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of jejunum infected with Salmonella in three different chicken lines early in life. Samples were taken at 8, 24 and 48 hours post infection. Salmonella was orally ingested at day zero (hatch).
Project description:Edible mealworms and crickets are high protein food sources, which have recently emerged on the European market. As the production of edible insects is more sustainable than conventional livestock proteins, they are a promising alternative protein source for human consumption. Protein compositions of mealworms and crickets that underwent different food processing and preparation steps were assessed by LC-MS analysis after tryptic in-gel digestion, and were compared to proteins from chicken breast.
Project description:Bacterial infections remain an important cause of morbidity in poultry production. The molecular characteristics and dynamic changes in immune cell populations after bacterial infection have yet to be fully understood. Beijing-You chicken and Cobb broiler, two broiler breeds with different disease resistance, were infected with Salmonella typhimurium, and inflammation models were constructed. We characterized chicken spleen CD45+ immune cells by single-cell RNA sequencing.

Project description:Salmonella enterica is one of the most important foodborne pathogens that infect a variety of animals and birds. In humans, S. Typhimurium causes gastroenteritis, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. We mainly get infected with Salmonella by ingesting comminated poultry products. Therefore, developing an oral live attenuated vaccine for the poultry industry is our best bet against Salmonella infection. In this article, we investigated the potential of the next generation of Salmonella vaccines. We generated a library of potentially attenuated S. Typhimurium mutants and compared fitness to that of a commercial vaccine. We also investigated the invasion and survival potential of these mutants in chicken macrophages. Our data indicate that although these mutants had no significant growth defects, they were much sensitive to macrophage attack. Analyzing the transcriptome data from infected primary chicken macrophages, we concluded that these mutants elicit a robust immune response by activating several immunoregulatory pathways. Our data also indicates that by combining phoPQ deletion with an already existing cya-crp deletion in MeganVac1, a much stronger immune response can be generated.

Project description:In this study, we analyzed the global gene expression of enterocytes during carrier-state in chicken lines N and 61 which are respectively resistant and susceptible to Salmonella carrier-state. Transcriptome analysis was performed at three weeks post-inoculation, on purified enterocytes, by comparing the expression profiles of infected and control chicks in the two lines. Three weeks post-inoculation correspond to the period where bacterial load starts to decrease in the resistant line but is still high in the susceptible line; this point could conceptually corresponds to genes which are differentially regulated leading to the resistant or susceptible phenotypes. Functional annotation of differentially expressed genes allowed us to identify numerous biological processes modulated during Salmonella carriage. Keywords: Expression profiling by array For each chicken line, twenty slides including ten biological replicates and the corresponding dye-swaps with the fluorophores reversed were carried out on control and infected animals.
Project description:Salmonella enterica Pullorum(S. Pullorum) is one of the most important pathogens in poultry. A better understanding of the immune response and molecular modulation resulting from infection by S. Pullorum will facilitates the control of this pathogen. In this study, we determined the relationships among identified differential expressed genes (DEGs) and pathways via deeply mining microarray data from Guangxi Huang Chicken challenged with S. Pullorum.
