Identification of differently expressed genes in Rainbow trout muscle under restricted feeding
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We identified that the adiponectin gene expression in rainbow trout muscle decreased by restrected feeding. In order to identify the genes differently expressed by the same treatment, micrarray analysis was conducted Fish were fed ad libitum once a week (RF, restricted feed group) or fed ad libitum twice per day (control). After 1 month, the muscle was desected from 4 individuals from each group.

Project description:Using RNA-seq, 39 cerebral cortex RNA samples were sequenced. The study design was as follows: Ad libitum fed rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Calorie restricted rats at 6 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Rats fed alpha lipoic acid as a supplement to ad libitum at 12 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled) and 28 months (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Diet switching groups, where diet was changes at 12 months; 28 month ad libitum switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month ad libitum plus lipoic acid switched to calorie restriction (n=3, 6 individuals pooled), 28 month calorie restriction switched to ad libitum plus lipoic acid (n=3, 6 individuals pooled). Transcriptional profiling of the ageing cerebral cortex at 6, 12 and 28 months and the effect of diet on age and longevity, using carlorie restriction and alpha lipoic acid supplementation
Project description:Transcriptional profiling in liver of 24 pigs of 115 kg body weight from lines divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI): low-RFI pigs fed ad libitum (RFIneg), high-RFI pigs fed ad libitum (RFIpl) and high-RFI pigs restricted at RFIneg feeding level (RFIplR) to investigate the impact of feeding independently of selection. Three experimental conditions: low-RFI (RFIneg), high-RFI (RFIpl) and restricted-high RFI (RFIplR). 8 pigs per condition. One replicate per array.
Project description:Resveratrol delays age-related deterioration and mimics transcriptional aspects of dietary restriction without extending lifespan A small molecule that safely mimics the ability of dietary restriction (DR) to delay age-related diseases in laboratory animals is greatly sought after. We and others have shown that resveratrol mimics effects of DR in lower organisms. In mice, we find that resveratrol induces gene expression patterns in multiple tissues that parallel those induced by DR and every-other-day feeding. Moreover, resveratrol-fed elderly mice shows a marked reduction in signs of aging including reduced albuminuria, decreased inflammation and apoptosis in the vascular endothelium, increased aortic elasticity, greater motor coordination, reduced cataract formation, and preserved bone mineral density. However, mice fed a standard diet did not live longer when treated with resveratrol beginning at mid-life. Our findings indicate that resveratrol treatment has a range of beneficial effects in mice but does not increase the longevity of ad libitum-fed animals when started mid-life. Male C57BL/6NIA mice at 11 months of age were maintained on a standard purified mouse diet (AIN-93G) for one month prior to the start of the experiment. Beginning at one year of age, SD and EOD groups were fed a standard AIN-93G diet or AIN-93G plus 0.01% or 0.04% resveratrol for the duration of the study. Three separate groups were placed on an HC diet (AIN-93G modified by the addition of hydrogenated coconut oil to provide 60% of calories from fat) or HC + 0.01% or 0.04% resveratrol 6 weeks later and remained on those diets throughout the study. SD and HC mice were fed ad libitum. EOD mice were fed ad libitum on alternate days then moved to a separate cage without food for 24 h. Food intake and body weight were measured on a weekly basis for the duration of the study.

Project description:In a previous study, 50% calorie restriction in mice from days 1.5-11.5 of pregnancy resulted in reduced placental weights and areas, relatively sparing of labyrinth zone area compared to junctional zone area, and dramatic changes in global gene expression profiles. Here we examined placental gene expression at day 18.5, after the return to normal feeding to see whether differences were reversible Mice were randomized to 2 treatment groups on day 1.5 of pregnancy: (1) ad libitum fed (control) (2) 50% food restriction (restricted). Mice were returned to ad libitum feed on d11.5, sacrificed on d18.5 and placentas were collected.
Project description:High-throughput proteomics was used to determine the role of the fish liver in defense responses to bacterial infection, done using a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) model following infection with Aeromonas salmonicida, the causative agent of furunculosis. The vertebrate liver has multifaceted roles in innate immunity, metabolism, and growth; we hypothesize this tissue serves a dual function in supporting host defense in parallel to metabolic adjustments that promote effective immune function. While past studies have reported mRNA responses to A. salmonicida in salmonids, the impact of bacterial infectionon the liver proteome remains uncharacterized in fish.
Project description:Growing ruminants maintained under dietary restriction for extended periods will exhibit compensatory growth when reverted to ad libitum feeding. This period of compensatory growth is associated with increased feed efficiency, lower basal energy requirements, and changes in circulating concentrations of metabolic hormones. To identify genetic mechanisms contributing to these physiological changes, 8 month-old steers were fed either ad libitum (control; n = 6) or 60-70% of intake of control animals (feed-restricted; n=6) for a period of 12 weeks. All steers were then fed ad libitum for the remaining 8 weeks of the experiment (realimentation period). Liver was biopsied from each animal at days -14, +1 and +14 relative to realimentation for RNA extraction and gene expression analysis by microarray hybridization. Steers were assigned randomly to one of two treatment groups, control or feed-restricted, and housed indoors in individual pens. Steers were acclimated to their pens for 5 d prior to starting the experimental treatments. Feed was offered once daily between 0630 and 0930 and orts from the previous day's feeding were collected and weighed to estimate actual intake. Control animals were fed ad libitum throughout the 20-wk experimental period. Feed-restricted steers were offered 60-70% of intake of control animals for 12 wks to target a limited rate of gain of approximately 0.5 kg/d. Restricted steers were then fed ad libitum for the remaining 8 wks of the experiment (realimentation period). During the first 3 d of realimentation, feed offered to both treatment groups was divided into two equal rations to gradually adjust restricted animals to full intake. Water was offered ad libitum throughout the experimental period. Approximately 200 mg of liver tissue was collected from each steer by needle biopsy using a Tru-Cut biopsy needle at -14, +1, +14 d relative to realimentation. Liver samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until RNA isolation. Total RNA was isolated from 36 liver samples using TRIZOL Reagent (Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA). Samples were DNase-treated using the TURBO DNA-free kit (Ambion, Inc., Austin, TX) according to manufacturerâ??s instructions, followed by column purification using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). Quality and concentration of RNA were assessed using a 2100 Bioanlayzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) and ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE). Probe labeling, hybridizations of probes to the oligo microarray, and array scanning were performed by the Roche NimbleGen Systems, Inc. Microarray Core Facility in Reykjavik, Iceland according to standard procedures (Madison, WI; http://www.nimblegen.com).
