Project description:A hybrid array setup containing WT Pyrococcus furiosus genes plus heterologous genes for engineered pathway producing 3HP from maltose and CO2 was used to study the impact of heterlogous pathway on native metabolic systems Four different experiments were run: 1) Pfu WT vs Pfu COM1; 2) Pfu COM1 vs MW56 (strain containing 3 heterologous genes from Metallosphaera sedula for production of 3HP); 3) Pfu COM1 vs MW76 at 72C before and after 3HP production; 4) MW76 at 72C before and after 3HP production at high agitation
Project description:A healthy rumen is crucial for normal growth and improved production performance of ruminant animals. Rumen microbes participate in and regulate rumen epithelial function, and the diverse metabolites produced by rumen microbes are important participants in rumen microbe-host interactions. SCFAs, as metabolites of rumen microbes, have been widely studied, and propionate and butyrate have been proven to promote rumen epithelial cell proliferation. Succinate, as an intermediate metabolite in the citric acid cycle, is a final product in the metabolism of certain rumen microbes, and is also an intermediate product in the microbial synthesis pathway of propionate. However, its effect on rumen microbes and rumen epithelial function has not been studied. It is unclear whether succinate can stimulate rumen epithelial development. Therefore, in this experiment, Chinese Tan sheep were used as experimental animals to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the rumen microbiota community structure and rumen epithelial transcriptome, to explore the role of adding succinate to the diet in the interaction between the rumen microbiota and host.
Project description:The Jeryak is the hybrid offspring of yaks and Jersey cattle and exhibit improved milk and meat yields. Biomolecules carried within milk exosomes are important for cell growth, development, immune regulation, and various pathophysiological processes. Previous studies showed that miRNAs regulate mammary gland development, lactation, and milk quality. This study explored the relationship between milk exosomes miRNAs and lactation performance. A comparison of the milk content showed that yak milk was of a better quality compared to Jeryak milk (casein, fat, TS, SNF, lactose). Milk collected in December was superior to that collected in June for both yak and Jeryak, except for lactose concentrations. Exosomes were extracted by density gradient centrifugation and miRNA expression profiles in milk exosomes from three yaks and three Jeryaks collected in June and December were detected by small RNA sequencing. In all, 22, 120, 78, and 62 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified in Jun_ JY vs. Jun_ Y (P1: Jeryak in June vs. Yak in June), Jun_ JY vs. Dec_ JY (P2: Jeryak in June vs. Jeryak in December), Dec_ JY vs. Dec_ Y (P3: Jeryak in December vs. Yak in December), and Jun_ Y vs. Dec_ Y (P4: Yak in June vs. Yak in December) groups. These DEMs were enriched in functions and signaling pathways related to lactation performance. In conclusion, these findings are a reference tool to study the molecular basis of lactation performance.
Project description:rs04-10_oxydative--stress - time course h2o2 treatment - Effect of an hydrogen peroxide treatment on gene regulation in arabidopsis cells - Arabidopsis cells (5 days after subculturing) were cultured at 21degreeC, 8 h photoperiod under agitation. H2O2 2.5 uM was added to cells 5 days after subculturing and 2 hours after the beginning of the light period. Treated and control cells were collected 15 min, 1 h, 5 h and 12 h after treatment. Keywords: treated vs untreated comparison

Project description:Inhibitory control is a core cognitive function preventing the expression of maladaptive behaviors. This function is overridden in mental illnesses including bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia, causing maladaptive psychomotor agitation. We developed intersectional CRISPR/Cas9 targeting approaches in adult mice to identify receptor/circuit selective mechanisms responsible for inactivation of inhibitory control in two models of amphetamine-induced psychomotor agitation. Inactivation of dopamine D2-receptors in the medial-prefrontal cortex (mPFC) abolished amphetamine-induced: psychomotor agitation, motor sensitization, and cAMP-associated transcriptome changes in the striatum. Further characterization using intersectional projection preparations indicate that these deficits implicate D2-receptors expressed on projection neurons innervating cholinergic interneurons of the dorsomedial striatum (DMS). Trans-synaptic targeting of acetylcholine production in DMS neurons receiving these projections restored psychomotor agitation in mice lacking mPFC D2- receptor expression. These findings identify a circuit by which activation of cortical D2-receptor circumvent an acetylcholine-mediated inhibition of DMS functions by the mPFC to promote psychomotor activation.

Project description:The aim of the study is to develop a scalable continuous agitation suspension culture bioprocess for differentiation of hiPSCs towards erythroid cells. Using process optimization, we developed the entire process completely in agitation suspension culture condition starting from hiPSC expansion through to hematopoietic induction and erythroid differentiation. Transcriptome profiling was carried out to facilitate comparisons between erythroid cells differentiated from hiPSCs using this bioprocess, and erythroid cells differentiated from cord blood and adult CD34+ cells.
