Mammary gene expression profile of goats receiving high or low forage diets supplemented or not with lipids

ABSTRACT: Animal nutrition considerably affects milk composition that influences its nutritional quality. Milk component synthesis and secretion by the mammary gland involve the expression of a large number of genes whose nutritional regulation remains poorly defined. In this study, 16 lactating goats received 4 experimental diets differing in either forage to concentrate ratio (high forage, HF, or low forage, LF) supplemented, or not, with lipids (whole rapeseeds, RS, or sunflower oil, SO) in a 4 x 4 Latin Square design. To investigate the pathways regulated by nutrition, we examined the effect of these diets on the expression of approximately 8400 genes in caprine mammary gland using a bovine oligonucleotide microarray. Due to the limited quantity of mammary RNA available, equal amounts of total RNA sample from mammary gland of each goat belonging to the same Latin Square group were mixed together before labeling. Each mammary pooled sample (4 by dietary treatment) was then co-hybridized with a standard reference corresponding to a mixture of purified total RNA from several caprine tissues. Each hybridization was repeated in a dye-swap manner for a total of 32 slides (8 slides and 4 independent comparisons by dietary treatment).

This study aimed to ascertain the response of goat mammary metabolic pathways to concentrate and lipid feeding in relation to milk fatty acid (FA) composition and secretion. Sixteen midlactation multiparous goats received diets differing in forage-to-concentrate ratio [high forage (HF) 64:36, and low forage (LF) 43:57] supplemented or not with lipids [HF with 130 g/d of oil from whole intact rapeseeds (RS) and LF with 130 g/d of sunflower oil (SO)] in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. Milk yield, mil ...[more]

Project description:Differences in genome size and gene content are among the most important signatures of microbial adaptation and genome evolution. Here, we investigated the patterns of genome variation among strains of the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti. Using the sequenced strain Rm1021 as a reference, the genome size and gene content variations were analyzed among ten diverse natural strains, through pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and whole-genome microarray hybridizations. Our PFGE analysis showed a genome size range of 6.45-7.01Mbp, with the greatest variation arising from the pSymA replicon, followed by that of pSymB. No observable size difference was evident among the chromosomes. Consistent with this pattern of size differences, 41.2% of ORFs on pSymA were variably absent/present, followed by 12.7% on pSymB, and 3.7% on the chromosome. However, the percentages of ORFs that were variably duplicated were more evenly distributed among the three replicons, 11.0%, 16.5% and 15.3% respectively for ORFs on pSymA, pSymB and the chromosome. Among the 10 strains, the percentages of absent ORFs ranged from 1.51% to 6.35% and those of duplicated ORFs ranged from 0.27% to 8.56%. Our analyses showed that host plants, geographic origins, multilocus enzyme electrophoretic types, and replicon sizes had little influence on the distribution patterns of absent or duplicated ORFs. The proportions of ORFs that were either variably absent/present or variably duplicated differed greatly among the functional categories, for each of the three replicons as well as for the whole genome. Interestingly, we observed positive correlations among the three replicons in their numbers of absent ORFs as well as the numbers of duplicated ORFs, consistent with coordinated gene gains/losses in this important bacterium in nature. microarray:Sm6kOligo A total of 12 strains were included for the microarray analyses in this study. The 12 strains included two reference strains and ten other natural strains. Reference strain Rm1021 was the strain with a completely sequenced genome, from which the whole genome microarray was based on (Krol et al. 2004). The second reference strain RmF909 was derived from strain Rm1021 but with a deletion of 575 ORFs located on the megaplasmid pSymB (genomic location 106724-735431, Charles et al. 1991). The two reference strains were used for positive and negative controls in our microarray hybridization experiments and for establishing threshold values for determining whether an ORF is present or absent among natural strains.
