Project description:To study the effect of chronic heat stress on producing laying type hens, RNA-Seq was performed on breast samples during a 4-week heat stress experiment. RNA-Seq samples were collected 3-hour, 2-weeks, and 4-weeks post heat from both control (unheated) and treatment (heated) birds. RNA was extracted from the tissues with RNAqueous Total RNA Isolation Kit, treated with DNase, and mRNA cDNA libary were prepared with Illumina TrueSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit. Sequencing was done on 4 lanes with 12 libraries per lane on Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform.

Project description:By using a 44k chicken Agilent microarray, we systematically analyzed the chicken hypothalamus transcriptome response to thermal stress. Twelve hypothalamus samples were chosen from three groups (four samples per group) to be used in chicken genome microarray to examine differential gene expression.We compared the expression profiles between each pairs of the three groups using the microarray data. Totally, 2474 genes were found to be differentially expressed in the three comparisons with pM-oM-<M-^\0.05 and fold change (FC) higher than 1.5 and the genes were mainly involved in self-regulation and compensation required to maintain homeostasis, including heat shock protein family, enzyme and the hormone, neurotransmitter, cell-cell signaling, metabolism and cytokines. The transcripts of heat shock protein including Hsp 40 and Hsp 90 were significantly changed respond to thermal stress and genes involved in regulation of cell morphogenesis were significantly upregulated in heat stressed group with comparison to control and temperature recovery group. Additionally, the down-regulated genes in both heat stress and temperature recovery groups compared to control group were enriched in muscle organ development, striated muscle tissue development, cardiac muscle tissue development and muscle tissue development, which indicates that muscle development was inhibited during and in short-term after heat treatment. Most of genes dysregulated in heat stress group were found to be recovered in temperature recovery group, which confirmed their roles they could play in coping with heat stress. The present study provides a broader understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the stress response in chicken and discovery of novel genes that are regulated in a thermal stress specific manner. Hypothalamus samples were collected from non-heat treated group (reared at 25C, used as control), 24h 34C treated group (heat stress treated group) and temperature recovery group (25C for 24h followed heat stress).
Project description:We have used RNA-seq to examine mRNAs from chicken spleen and bursa of Fabricius of three different condition (non-immunized and non-heat-stressed (24 ± 1℃ for 3 h), immunized (Newcastle disease vaccine) and non-heat-stressed, and immunized and heat-stressed (36 ± 1℃ for 3 h)). To clarify how chicken immune systems responded to heat stress with and without immunization.
Project description:<p>Gene expression is a biological process regulated at different molecular levels, including chromatin accessibility, transcription, and RNA maturation and transport. In addition, these regulatory mechanisms have strong links with cellular metabolism. Here we present a multi-omics dataset that captures different aspects of this multi-layered process in yeast. We obtained RNA-seq, metabolomics, and H4K12Ac ChIP-seq data for wild-type and mip6delta strains during a heat-shock time course. Mip6 is an RNA-binding protein that contributes to RNA export during environmental stress and is informative of the contribution of post-transcriptional regulation to control cellular adaptations to environmental changes. The experiment was performed in quadruplicate, and the different omics measurements were obtained from the same biological samples, which facilitates the integration and analysis of data using covariance-based methods. We validate our dataset by showing that ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and metabolomics signals recapitulate existing knowledge about the response of ribosomal genes and the contribution of trehalose metabolism to heat stress.</p>
