ABSTRACT: Impact of maternal diet supplemented with selenium (Se) and vitamin B6 during pregnancy on gene expression of porcine expanded blastocysts (EB)
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of porcine expanded blastocysts comparing control (EB obtained from 4 sows treated with basal diet) with either inorganic Se + B6 (EB obtained from 4 sows treated with basal diet plus inorganic Se and B6) or organic Se + B6 (EB obtained from 3 sows treated with basal diet plus organic Se and B6). Three-condition experiment, EB without and with maternal diet supplemented B6 plus either inorganic Se or organic Se. Four biological replicates for inorganic Se and three biological replicates and one technical replicate for organic Se. Pooled of four biological replicates for control group.

Project description:Selenium (Se) is an essential cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase beside other functions. The evaluation of optimal selenium supplementation in chicken feed and the subsequent effects on animal health and performance requires comprehensive knowledge of the overall metabolic effects of selenium. Therefore the gene expression was measured in the control group with a standard diet and in the group with a Se supplemented diet (0.5mg Se/kg diet) to determine significantly altered gene expression. The selenium was supplemented in the form of selenized yeast (Se-yeast), which mainly consists of organic Se in the form of L-selenomethionine and L-selenocysteine. The control group received a diet, which contained 70μg of Se / kg diet and the Se-yeast group 620μg of Se / kg diet (analyzed).

The control group received a diet, which contained 70μg of Se / kg diet and the Se-yeast group 620μg of Se / kg diet (analyzed). The one-day old broiler chicks were separated into two groups and received the control or the Se-supplemented diet ad libitum for 35 days. After slaughter the gene expression was determined in the liver of four control and five samples from the Se-yeast group. One sample from the control group did not correspond to the quality requirements and was excluded from the analysis.
Project description:85 radical prostatectomy specimens (where 16 samples are in Placebo group (PL), 15 are in Selenium group (SE), 25 are in Vitamin E group (VE) and 27 are in Vitamin E & Selenium group (VS.Treatment groups: l-selenomethionine, 400 ug + placebo (vitamin E); vitamin E, 400 IU + placebo (l-selenomethionine); l-selenomethionine, 400 ug + vitamin E, 400 IU; placebos) were subjected to laser capture microdissection to isolate prostate cancer cells, normal epithelial prostatic cells, or stroma cells. RNA extraction and amplification were performed. Transcription profiling was conducted using the HG-U133A Affymetrix arrays.

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM) is the global methyl donor providing methyl group for variety of biomolecules such as DNA , histone, RNA, lipids and etc. Two-condition experiment, bovine non-treated expanded blastocysts (pools of 10) vs bovine SAM-treated expanded blastocysts. Four biological replicates of each tissue were hybridized to four two-color arrays in a dye-balanced design.
Project description:Genome-wide expression analysis in C. Elegans grown in axenic media with low to toxic selenium concentrations We performed Affymetrix micorarray-based transcriptional profiling on wild-type C. Elegans Bristol N2 grown in low Se axenic media supplemented with five concentrations of selenium, from low to toxic, and harvested at the L4-larva stage. RNA was prepared for hybridization to Affy microarrays from synchronized cultures of wild-type C. elegans seeded in low Se axenic media, supplemented with graded 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 mM Se added as sodium selenite, and harvested at the L4-larva stage (1 culture/sample per Se concentgration).
