Project description:Rumen epithelial parakeratosis, a common disease in ruminants caused by abnormalities in the ruminal stratified squamous epithelial keratinization process, negatively impacts ruminant health and performance. While we still lack a comprehensive perception of the underlying mechanisms and the predisposing factors for this disorder.Here, we investigated rumen epithelial cell heterogeneity, differentiation trajectories, and cornification to clarify the rumen epithelial keratinization process

Project description:Promoting rumen development is closely related to the health and efficient growth of ruminants. We investigated the effect of sodium butyrate (SB) on rumen epithelium (RE), and whether the YAP1/TAZ-dependent alteration was involved in the RE developmental process induced by sodium butyrate. In the SB-treated cells, theYAP1/TAZ-dependent changes were not observed. SB increased the expression of genes involved in short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism, while YAP1/TAZ did not. Thus, SB mediated RE development was not associated with YAP1/TAZ.
Project description:Newborn ruminants are considered as functionally monogastric animals. The poorly understanding of tremendous cellular differences between newborn and completely ruminating stages hinders the improvement of health and performance of domestic ruminants. Here, unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on the rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, rectum, salivary gland, liver, and mammary gland from newborn and adult cattle. We created a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic compendium covering 235,941 high-quality single cells and 78 cell types. The age-state cell atlases for each tissue type were also constructed to delineate the cell type composition dynamics at newborn and adult stages. We further created the Cattle Cell Landscape database (http://cattlecelllandscape.zju.edu.cn) to detailly display the informative results and to facilitate in effectively annotation of cattle cell type/subtypes for the broad research community. By measuring stemness states of epithelial cells across multiple tissue types, we revealed a multi-tissue representation of paradigm of cell stemness plasticity: the newborn forestomach (rumen, reticulum, and omasum) epithelial cells are more transcriptionally indistinct and stochastic compared with adult stage, which contrary to that of abomasum and intestinal tissues. Moreover, the rapid forestomach development during the early life of calves was driven by the epithelial progenitor-like cells with high activities of epigenetic modifying. A novel cell type STOML3+ cell was found to be newborn cattle-specific that plays an important role in stemness maintenance of its own and cholangiocyte in the hepatic microenvironment. These results provide novel insights into the cellular biology and postnatal ruminating maturity of ruminants
Project description:Promoting rumen development is closely related to the health and efficient growth of ruminants. In the present study, we aimed to assess the impact of YAP1/TAZ on RE proliferation. The transcriptomic expression was analyzed to investigate the potential regulatory networks. The results indicated that GA promoted RE cell proliferation, while VP disrupted RE cell proliferation. The Hippo, Wnt, and calcium signaling pathways were altered in cells following the regulation of YAP1/TAZ. Upon YAP1/TAZ activation through GA, the CCN1/2 increased to promote RE cell proliferation. While when the YAP1/TAZ was inhibited by VP, the BIRC3 decreased to suppress RE cell proliferation. Thus, YAP1/TAZ may be potential targets for regulating RE cell proliferation. These findings broaden our understanding of the role of YAP1/TAZ and their regulators in RE and offer a potential target for promoting rumen development.
Project description:Dr. Eric Vivier's lab would like to tackle the enzymes involved in PEN5 carbohydrate metabolism. We have generated these cell lines by repeated cell sorting and cell cloning of the parental HSB-2 T cell line and the parental JY B cell line. H+ are PEN5+ HSB-2 cells, H- are PEN5- HSB-2 cells; JY+ are PEN5+ HSB-2 cells, JY- are PEN5- HSB-2 cells.
