Project description:To investigate the impact of adding succinate to the diet on the production performance, meat quality, muscle fiber characteristics, and transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, 36 Tan sheep were selected and fed with different levels of succinate (0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 2.0%) for a 60-day trial period. Overall, compared to the control group, the addition of succinate to the diet improved the production performance, slaughter performance, and meat quality of Tan sheep. It significantly increased dry matter intake, carcass weight, eye muscle area, and the GR value while significantly reducing the shear force and cooking loss of the longissimus dorsi muscle (p<0.05). Furthermore, the addition of succinate to the diet altered the muscle fiber characteristics of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, significantly increasing the fiber diameter and cross-sectional area of type I and type IIa muscle fibers (p<0.05). The addition of 1.0% succinate to the diet altered the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle in Tan sheep, with 741 differentially expressed genes identified compared to the control group. These differentially expressed genes were involved in various pathways related to lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, and muscle development, such as insulin secretion, insulin resistance, cAMP signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and FoxO signaling, among others. In summary, succinate plays a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism, protein deposition, and glucose and lipid metabolism homeostasis in Tan sheep through insulin signaling pathways and the interaction of muscle cell factors. By modulating the expression of relevant genes, succinate improves the muscle fiber characteristics of Tan sheep, thereby enhancing production performance and meat quality.

Project description:To explore functional lncRNAs during sheep muscle growth, we systematically investigated lncRNAs using strand-specific Ribo-Zero RNA Sequencing at three key developmental stages of Hu sheep (110-day fetus, 5-day-old lamb and 2-year-old adult)

Project description:Lycium barbarum residue contains abundant bioactive nutrients which can be used as feed supplement. This study investigated the effects of fermented and non-fermented Lycium barbarum residues (RFW and RW) on the meat quality and immunity of sheep (Ovis aries). Fifty-four Tan sheep were randomly divided into control, RFW or RW treatments. Data showed that RFW and RW increased the carcass weight, fat content, ash content and reduced the cooking loss of lamb. RFW performed more significant effects on activating immune-related genes than those of RW. The expression of chemokines and immune-related pathways, such as signaling pathways of interleukin-17 signaling pathway and NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, were elevated in sheep fed RFW. RW increased the diversity in rumen metabolites, especially compositions of lipids, organic acids and organ heterocyclic compounds. RFW affected numerous compounds which are closely correlated with the activation of immune genes. In conclusion, RFW could represent a valuable strategy to improve growth performance and immunity of sheep

Project description:Purpose: To explore the mechanism of how Tan I inhibits malignant hematopoiesis at the gene expression level Methods: NB4 cells treated with DMSO or Tan I 10 μM were collected for RNA sequencing Results: We found that 376 genes were differentially expressed between DMSO and Tan I treatment in the NB4 cells (p value <=0.05, |log2 fold change| >= 0.25) Conclusions: We identified MMP9 and ABCG2 as two possible downstream genes of Tan I’s effects on EZH2

Project description:Tanshinone IIA (Tan IIA) is a diterpene quinone extracted from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza, a Chinese traditional herb. Although previous studies have reported the anti-tumor effects of Tan IIA on various human cancer cells, the underlying mechanisms are not clear. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying Tan IIA's apoptotic effects on leukemia cells and identified significantly differentially expressed genes (SDEGs). Five human leukemia cell lines were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.To identify genes that are related to Tan IIA sensitivities, we carried out expression profiling on five cell lines.The sample named HL60, MEG01, MOLT,THP1 and U937_control were treated with DMSO. U937 cell line was selected with Tan IIA treatment for 12 h and 24 h, respectively.

Project description:The role of myeloid cells in supporting cancer growth is well established. Most work has focused on myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) that accumulate in tumor-bearing animals, but tumor-associated neutrophils (TAN) are also known to be capable of augmenting tumor growth. However, little is known about their evolution, phenotype, and relationship to naive neutrophils (NN) and to the granulocytic fraction of MDSC (G-MDSC). In the current study, a transcriptomics approach was used in mice to compare these cell types. Our data show that the three populations of neutrophils are significantly different in their mRNA profiles with NN and G-MDSC being more closely related to each other than to TAN. Structural genes and genes related to cell-cytotoxicity (i.e. respiratory burst) were significantly down-regulated in TAN. In contrast, many immune-related genes and pathways, including genes related to the antigen presenting complex (e.g. all six MHC-II complex genes), and cytokines (e.g. TNF-a, IL-1-a/b), were up-regulated in G-MDSC, and further up-regulated in TAN. Thirteen of the 25 chemokines tested were markedly up-regulated in TAN compared to NN, including striking up-regulation of chemoattractants for T/B-cells, neutrophils and macrophages. This study characterizes different populations of neutrophils related to cancer, pointing out the major differences between TAN and the other neutrophil populations.

Project description:TTC33 is an uncharacterized vertebrate-specific structural protein composed of tetratricopeptide repeat motifs. TTC3 forms a trimeric complex with WDR61 and chromatin binding PHF5A, coined TAN for TTC33-associated network. The TAN complex is associated with structural protein CCDC97, SF3A/B U2 splicing factor sub-complex, PP2A phosphatase and UNG DNA glycosylase.
