Pig adipose tissue: comparison between Basque and Large White breeds

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of pig adipose tissue comparing two divergent breeds: Large white (LW, conventional) and Basque (B, local, indigeneous). Four-condition experiment, LW vs. B muscles at 35 kg and 145 kg live weight. Biological replicates: at 145 kg, 10 B and 10 LW; at 35 kg 5 B and 5 LW. One replicate per array.

The molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic control of fat development in humans and livestock species still require characterization. To gain insights on gene expression patterns associated with genetic propensity for adiposity, we compared subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) transcriptomics profiles from two contrasted pig breeds for body fatness. Samples were obtained from Large White (LW; lean phenotype) and Basque pigs (B; low growth and high fat content) at 35 kg (n = 5 per breed) or 14 ...[more]

Project description:We identified genes expressed in mouse liver that are regulated by Cux2, a highly female-specific liver transcription factor whose expression is regulated by sex-dependent plasma GH patterns. Using adenovirus to overexpress Cux2 (Adeno-Cux2) in male liver, we show that Cux2 represses ~35% of male-biased genes and induces/de-represses ~35% of female-biased genes. Adeno-CMV was used as a control for adenoviral infection. (Published in Molec Cell Biology, TL Conforto et al, 2012) Liver RNA isolated from the following eight groups of mice was used in the present study: (1) 8 wk old untreated male (M) mice (n = 10; 5 per each pool); (2) 8 wk old untreated female mice (F) mice (n = 11; 5 or 6 per each pool); (3) 8 wk old male mice treated with Adeno-Cux2 and euthanized 5 days later (n = 12; 6 per each pool); (4) 8 wk old female mice treated with Adeno-Cux2 and euthanized 5 days later (n = 8; 4 per each pool); (5) 8 wk old male mice treated with Adeno-CMV and euthanized 5 days later (n = 13; 6 or 7 per each pool); (6) 8 wk old female mice treated with Adeno-CMV and euthanized 5 days later (n = 7; 3 or 4 per each pool); (7) 8 wk old male mice treated with Adeno-Cux2 and euthanized 3 days later (n=11; 5 or 6 per each pool); (8) 8 wk old male mice treated with Adeno-CMV and euthanized 3 days later (n=11; 5 or 6 per pool). These RNA pools were used in four separate sets of competitive hybridization experiments: 1) 8 wk untreated M vs. 8 wk untreated F; 2) 8 wk M + Ad-Cux2 (5 day) vs. 8 wk M + Ad-CMV (5 day); 3) 8 wk F + Ad-Cux2 (5 day) vs. 8 wk F + Ad-CMV (5 day); 4) 8 wk M + Ad-Cux2 (3 day) vs. 8 wk M + Ad-CMV (3 day). Fluorescent labeling of RNA and hybridization of the Alexa 555-labeled (green) and Alexa 647-labeled (red) RNA samples to Agilent Mouse Gene Expression 4x44k v1 microarrays (Agilent Technology, Palo Alto, CA; catalog # G4122F-014868) were carried out, with dye swapping for each of the three hybridization experiments to eliminate dye bias. Two microarrays, one for each mixed cDNA sample, were hybridized for each of the four fluorescent reverse pairs, giving a total of 8 microarrays.

Project description:Maize (Zea mays L.) and other monocot cereals develop extensive shoot-borne root systems from nodal structures of the shoot to secure water and nutrient uptake and provide anchorage in the soil. In the present study, the early stages of coleoptilar node (first shoot-node) development of maize were subjected to a detailed morphological and histological analysis followed by a comprehensive microarray profiling via 105 k oligonucleotide microarrays. Expression profiling identified 1,179 microarray features corresponding to 974 unique transcripts which were differentially expressed between three stages of wild-type B73 coleoptilar node development within the first four days after the initiation of this structure. Significantly, all but one of these microarray features were preferentially expressed at day four compared to day zero of coleoptilar node formation. Moreover, comparative microarray profiling of wild-type versus mutant rtcs coleoptilar nodes which do not initiate shoot-borne roots revealed 958 microarray features corresponding to 828 unique transcripts that were expressed in a RTCS dependent fashion. Differential gene expression during wild-type coleoptilar node development and between wild-type and rtcs coleoptilar nodes was confirmed for a subset of 24 genes by qRT-PCR. In order to identify direct downstream targets of RTCS in silico promoter analyses revealed 191 differentially expressed genes that contained at least one LBD motif in a 1 kb promoter region upstream of the ATG start codon. For six promoter sequences containing LBD motives EMSA experiments demonstrated RTCS binding, hence supporting the notion that differentially accumulated genes containing LBD motifs are direct downstream targets of RTCS. The complex RTCS dependent regulation of coleoptilar node development and crown root formation was illustrated by a wide variety of cellular functions represented by the differentially accumulated genes and in particular by the differentially accumulated genes containing LBD promoter motifs. 24 samples in total: 3 developmental stages (0, 2, 4) * 2 genotypes (WT, rtcs) * 4 biological replicates
