Project description:Acute heat stress induces differential gene expressions in the small yellow follicles of a broiler-type strain of Taiwan country chickens
Project description:To realize the gene expression in response to acute heat stress in chicken small yellow follicles, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a tool to identify genes response to acute heat stress. Female B strain Taiwan country chickens were subjected to acute heat stress (38℃) for 2 h, and then exposed to 25℃, with small yellow follicles collected 0, 2, and 6 h after the cessation of heat stress, using non heat-stressed hens as a control group (n = 3 hens per group). Based on a chicken 44K oligo microarray, 69, 51, and 76 genes were upregulated and 58, 15, 56 genes were downregulated after heat treatment of H2R0, H2R2, and H2R6, respectively, using a cutoff value of two-fold or higher in the small yellow follicles of the heat-stressed chickens from those of the control chickens. Upregulation of heat shock protein 25, interleukin 6, metallopeptidase 1, and metalloproteinase 13, and downregulation of type II alpha 1 collagen, discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 2, and Kruppel-like factor 2 were confirmed through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).

Project description:To realize the gene expression in response to acute heat stress in chicken testis, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a tool to identify genes response to acute heat stress. Male B strain Taiwan country chickens were subjected to acute heat stress (38M-bM-^DM-^C) for 4 h, and then exposed to 25M-bM-^DM-^C, with testes collected 0, 2, and 6 h after the cessation of heat stress, using non heat-stressed roosters as a control group (n = 3 roosters per group). Based on a chicken 44K oligo microarray, 163 genes significantly differed in the testes of the heat-stressed chickens from those of the control chickens. The mRNA expressions of upregulated genes, including HSP25, HSP90AA1, HSPA2, and LPAR2, and downregulated genes, including CDH5, CTNNA3, EHF, CIRBP, SLA, and NTF3, were confirmed through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Acute heat stress induced testicular gene experssion in B strain Taiwan country chicken was measured at 0, 2, and 6 h of recovery after 4 h of 38 degree acute heat stress.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigated the difference of Nrf2-regulated genes in livers between normal and heat-stressed chickens. The CUT&Tag and high-throughput sequencing technologies were used in this experiment. Results showed that 13171838- 15417444 clean reads were obtained in this study. These data suggested that there were many Nrf2- regulated genes in the liver of heat-stressed chicken.
