Project description:Gene expression was studied using PancChip5.0 in 15 tissues. Most tissues were from the adult mouse, except for fetal pancreas (e18.5) and placenta. Adult tissues studied were: adrenal gland, pancreas, brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, parotid gland, pituitary gland, small intestine, stomach and testis. All were studied in duplicate except for the pituitary, the liver, and the stomach. All samples were pooled samples. Tissues were taken from 3 males and 3 females, with the exception of the gonadal tissues, and the fetal tissues were sex was not determined.
Project description:The pituitary gland is a neuroendocrine organ that is involved in several processes within the body such as metabolism, growth, immune function, and reproduction. Increased ambient temperatures are environmental stressor that leads to several welfare concerns in poultry production but also economic losses. Because of the involvement of the pituitary gland in several processes that are affected by heat stress, it is hypothesized this tissue's gene expression will be impacted by heat stress. The objectives of the project are to (a) identify genes that constitue the pituitary gland when compared to other collected chicken tissues (Insert tissues) and (b) identify genes that respond to heat stress via differential expression analysis to better understand the chicken's response to heat at the transcriptomic level.
