Project description:Most migrating passerine birds undertake their long biannual voyages during the night. During these times of the year birds are in a continuous state of severe sleep restriction, yet curiously they perform as well, or better, on tests of physical and cognitive performance than during non-migrating times of the year. This inherent physiological protection, a component of the endogenous circannual program regulating this crucial life history stage, disappears when birds are forced to stay awake at other times of the year, demonstrating that these protective changes are only associated with the nocturnal migratory state. The goal of the current study was to identify the physiological mechanisms that confer protection against the usually negative consequences of sleep loss while simultaneously allowing for the increased metabolic and cardiovascular output required for migration. To that end, we performed an RNA-seq analysis of heart and Liver collected from birds at different times of day under different migratory states and analyzed these data using differential expression, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis. We identified numerous changes in gene expression networks implicating the involvement of multiple systems and pathways. These pathways regulate many aspects of metabolism, immune function, extracellular matrix wound repair, and protection of multiple organ systems in the body. Consequently, the circannual program controlling the appearance of the migratory phenotype involves the complex regulation of diverse gene networks associated with the physical demands of migration.

Project description:Intermittent fasting (IF) has been shown to reduce cardiovascular risk factors in both animals and humans, and can protect the heart against ischemic injury in models of myocardial infarction. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms behind these effects remain unclear. To shed light on the molecular and cellular adaptations of the heart to IF, we conducted comprehensive system-wide analyses of the proteome, phosphoproteome, and transcriptome, followed by functional analysis. Using advanced mass spectrometry, we profiled the proteome and phosphoproteome of heart tissues obtained from mice that were maintained on daily 12- or 16 hr fasting, every-other-day fasting, or ad libitum control feeding regimens for 6 months. We also performed RNA sequencing to evaluate whether the observed molecular responses to IF occur at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional levels. Our analyses revealed that IF significantly affected pathways that regulate cyclic GMP signaling, lipid and amino acid metabolism, cell adhesion, cell death, and inflammation. Furthermore, we found that the impact of IF on different metabolic processes varied depending on the length of the fasting regimen. Short IF regimens showed a higher correlation of pathway alteration, while longer IF regimens had an inverse correlation of metabolic processes such as fatty acid oxidation and immune processes. Additionally, functional echocardiographic analyses demonstrated that IF enhances stress-induced cardiac performance. Our systematic multi-omics study provides a molecular framework for understanding how IF impacts the heart's function and its vulnerability to injury and disease.

Project description:Background: Cancer metastasis is dependent on cell migration. Several mechanisms, including epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and actin fiber formation, could be involved in cancer cell migration. As a downstream effector of the Hippo signaling pathway, transcriptional coactivator with PDZbinding motif (TAZ) is recognized as a key mediator of the metastatic ability of breast cancer cells. We aimed to examine whether TAZ affects the migration of breast cancer cells through the regulation of EMT or actin cytoskeleton. Methods: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with siRNA to attenuate TAZ abundance. Transwell migration assay and scratch wound healing assay were performed to study the effects of TAZ knockdown on cancer cell migration. Fluorescence microscopy was conducted to examine the vinculin and phalloidin. Semiquantitative immunoblotting and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to study the expression of small GTPases and kinases. Changes in the expression of genes associated with cell migration were examined through next-generation sequencing. Results: TAZ-siRNA treatment reduced TAZ abundance in MCF-7 and MDA-MB- 231 breast cancer cells, which was associated with a significant decrease in cell migration. TAZ knockdown increased the expression of fibronectin, but it did not exhibit the typical pattern of EMT progression. TGF-b treatment in MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in a reduction in TAZ and an increase in fibronectin levels. However, it paradoxically promoted cell migration, suggesting that EMT is unlikely to be involved in the decreased migration of breast cancer cells in response to TAZ suppression. RhoA, a small Rho GTPase protein, was significantly reduced in response to TAZ knockdown. This caused a decrease in the expression of the Rho-dependent downstream pathway, i.e., LIM kinase 1 (LIMK1), phosphorylated LIMK1/2, and phosphorylated cofilin, leading to actin depolymerization. Furthermore, myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) and phosphorylated MLC2 were significantly decreased in MDA-MB-231 cells with TAZ knockdown, inhibiting the assembly of stress fibers and focal adhesions. Conclusion: TAZ knockdown inhibits the migration of breast cancer cells by regulating the intracellular actin cytoskeletal organization. This is achieved, in part, by reducing the abundance of RhoA and Rho-dependent downstream kinase proteins, which results in actin depolymerization and the disassembly of stress fibers and focal adhesions.

Project description:At the onset of sexual maturity, the increasing circulating estrogen stimulates the formation of medullary bone, which provides available calcium for eggshell formation. The bone loss of laying hens is caused by the continuous dynamic changes of structure bone leading to bone fragility and susceptibility. The degree of medullary bone mineralization in sexual maturity is positively correlated with bone quality in the late laying stage. This study aimed to explore the molecular regulation mechanism of bone metabolism pre- and postsexual maturity in hens based on the joint analysis of transcriptome and metabolome. A total of 50 Hy-line Sonia pullets with comparable body weight at 13 wk were selected. Eight pullets were killed at 15 wk (juvenile hens, JH) and 19 wk (laying hens, LH), and LHs were killed within 3 h after oviposition. Differentially expressed genes and metabolites in tibia were analyzed based on transcriptome and metabolome, and then combined to construct the relevant metabolisms and hub genes. In the LH hens, plasma levels of estrogen and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase were significantly elevated by 1.7 and 1.3 times. In addition, the midpoint diameter, bone mineral density and bone mineral content of the tibia and femur were higher at 19 wk of age. A total of 580 differentially expressed genes were found between the JH and LH group in the tibia, including 280 up-regulated, and 300 down-regulated genes in the LH group. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that the intracellular biosynthesis and secretion of matrix vesicles were significantly enrichment in the LH hens. A total of 21 differential metabolites were identified between JH and LH group. Estradiol valerate positively correlated with L-theanine, tryptophan betaine, dopamine, and perindopril. Joint analysis showed that the top 20 hub genes were enriched in cholesterol biosynthesis and phospholipid metabolism, which played a key regulatory role in bone metabolism during pre- and postsexual maturity. These results provide a theoretical foundation for maintaining efficient egg production and reducing bone health problems in laying hens.
