Project description:Tail fat in sheep (Ovis aries), has evolved mainly in response to cold weather for better energy storage. As things stand, too much tail fat in sheep can lead to a reduction in feed utilisation and is also unpopular with consumers due to the excessive fat content in the tail of sheep. Therefore, the need to find the mechanism of tail fat formation is obvious. In this study, we elected to utilise Kazakh sheep, prolific Suffolk sheep, and their hybrid F2 generation as research objects. Sheep transcriptome sequencing technology was employed to screen and explore target candidate genes related to sheep tail fat deposition. Comparison with RNA-seq data from fat-tailed and thin-tailed tissue, the LncRNA-mRNA-miRNA axis was identified as main functional pathway in the formation of fat in tail. Our results offer valuable insights into the fat deposition of sheep and provide a significant genomic resource for future genetic studies and the enhancement of genome-assisted breeding in sheep and other domestic animals.

Project description:Chinese indigenous sheep can be classified into two types according to their tail morphology: fat-rumped and thin-tailed sheep, of which the typical breeds are Altay sheep and Tibetan sheep, respectively. To identify the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) underlying the phenotypic differences between tail types, we used iTRAQ combined with multi-dimensional liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology to detect candidate proteins. We then subjected these to a database search, and identified the DEPs. Finally, bioinformatics technology was used to carry out GO functional and KEGG pathway analyses. A total of 3248 proteins were identified, of which 44 were up-regulated and 40 were down-regulated DEPs. Analyzing their GO function terms and KEGG pathways revealed that the functions of these DEPs are mainly binding, catalytic activity, structural molecule activity, molecular function regulator, and transporter activity. Among the genes encoding the DEPs, APOA2, GALK1, ADIPOQ, and NDUFS4 are associated with fat formation and metabolism.

Project description:An essential tissue involved in the development and regulation of lipid metabolism in animals is adipose tissue. The “fat-tail” can supply energy for sheep during migration and winter when a low amount of dry matter intake is available. Tail fat content affects meat quality and varies significantly among the different breeds of sheep. Ghezel (fat-tailed) and Zel (thin-tailed) are two important local Iranian sheep breeds that show different patterns of fat storage. The current study presents the transcriptome characterization of tail fat using RNA-sequencing in order to get a better comprehension of the molecular mechanism of lipid storage in the two sheep breeds. The results of sequencing were analyzed with bioinformatics methods, including differentially expressed genes (DEGs) identification, functional enrichment analysis, structural classification of proteins, protein–protein interaction (PPI), network analysis and module analysis. The results revealed a total of332 DEGs between the Zel and Ghezel breed, with78 up-regulated and 254 down-regulated DEGs in the Zel breed. Identification of differential genes showed that some DEGs, such as IL-6, LIPG, SAA1, SOCS3 and HIF-1α, with the largest fold change had close association with lipid deposition. Also, important lipid storage genes such as FASN and SCPEP1 had high levels of expression. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis revealed some pathways associated with fat deposition, such as “Fatty acid metabolism”, “Fatty acid biosynthesis” and“HIF-1 signaling pathway”. In addition, structural classification of proteins showed major DEGs in transcription factor classes such as JUNB, NR4A3, FOSL1, MAFF, NR4A1, CREB3L1 and ATF3 were up-regulated in the Zel breed. IL-6, JUNB, and related DEGs were up-regulated in the PPI network.HMGCS1, SUCLA2 and STT3B and related DEGs were down-regulated in the PPI network and had high topology scores as hub genes. This implies the DEGs of these modules are important candidate genes for tail fat metabolism and, therefore, can be further studied.

Project description:Estrogen is an important hormone that affects muscle development in female animals. Previous studies have shown that estrogen can protect muscle cells from apoptosis by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway. However, the molecular mechanisms by which estrogen-induced MAPK signaling regulates myoblast growth and development remain unclear. In this study, RNA-seq was performed on ovariectomized small-tailed Han (OR-STH) sheep and sham surgery small-tailed Han (STH) sheep to analyze the effects of estrogen on muscle growth and development in female animals. There were 8,721 differentially expressed circRNAs (DECs), 143 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 2,238 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs) in the longissimus dorsi between the OR-STH and STH groups. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the differentially expressed gene MAPK15 was significantly enriched in the MAPK signaling pathway, which is important for muscle development. Therefore, we constructed the ceRNA network circFAM171A1/oar-miR-485-5p/MAPK15 and explored its effect on muscle growth and development. The results of the molecular mechanism experiments indicated that circFAM171A1 can sponge oar-miR-485-5p to regulate MAPK15. The addition of the exogenous hormone estradiol (E2) to sheep myoblasts could induce circFAM171A1, regulate the expression of oar-miR-485-5p and MAPK15, and promote the proliferation of sheep myoblasts. The results showed that MAPK15 and circFAM171A1 significantly promoted the proliferation of myoblasts and inhibited the apoptosis of myoblasts in sheep, whereas oar-miR-485-5p inhibited the expression of MAPK15 and circFAM171A1, inhibited myoblast proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Furthermore, circFAM171A1 attenuated the inhibitory effect of oar-miR-485-5p on myoblasts. In summary, estrogen induced the expression of circFAM171A1 in sheep myoblasts, and circFAM171A1 can act as a sponge for oar-miR-485-5p to promote the expression of the target gene MAPK15 and ultimately regulate the proliferation of sheep myoblasts. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanism of estrogen regulation of muscle growth and development in female animals.
