Loss of the seipin gene perturbs eggshell formation in Caenorhabditis elegans

Project description:SEIPIN, an evolutionary conserved protein, plays pivotal roles during lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis and is associated with various human diseases with unclear mechanisms. Here, we analyzed C. elegans mutants deleted of the sole SEIPIN gene, seip-1. Homozygous seip-1 mutants displayed penetrant embryonic lethality, which is caused by the disruption of the lipid-rich permeability barrier, the innermost layer of the C. elegans embryonic eggshell. In C. elegans oocytes and embryos, SEIP-1 is associated with LDs and crucial for controlling LD size and lipid homeostasis. The seip-1 deletion mutants reduced the ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in their embryonic fatty acid pool. Interestingly, dietary supplementation of selected n-6 PUFAs rescued the embryonic lethality and defective permeability barrier. Accordingly, we propose that SEIP-1 may maternally regulate LD biogenesis and lipid homeostasis to orchestrate the formation of the permeability barrier for eggshell synthesis during embryogenesis. A lipodystrophy allele of seip-1 resulted in embryonic lethality as well and could be rescued by PUFA supplementation. These experiments support a great potential for using C. elegans to model seipin-associated human diseases.

Gene expression profiling to identify uterine chicken proteins associated with the supply of minerals and potentially actives on the biomineralisation process during eggshell formation

Project description:We used a transcriptomic approach based on the comparison of the expression in the uterine tissue when an hard-shelled egg was in calcification (normal) versus uterine tissue collected after premature expulsion of the egg before mineralization has begun (expelled) to better appreciate which uterine chicken proteins are associated with the supply of minerals and potentially actives on the biomineralisation process during eggshell formation.
