The Jejunum Mucosa of Female Black-boned Chickens: Control vs. Heat-stressed Treatment
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of the jejunum mucosa with 1.5 fold-change reporter genes in comparing control black-boned chickens under normal temperature (NT) conditon with heat-stress treated black-boned chickens under high temperature (HT) condition. Goal was to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in co-family black-boned chickens exposure to heat stress based on global chicken gene expression. Two-condition experiment, HT vs. NT Treatment. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 heat stressed replicates.
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:The present study focuses on the use of a metaproteomic approach to analyse Black Extrinsic Tooth Stains, a specific type of pigmented extrinsic substance, in a cohort of 96 Children. Metaproteomics is a powerful emerging technology that successfully enabled human protein and bacterial identification of this specific dental biofilm using mass spectrometry. 1600 bacterial proteins were identified in black stains (BS) samples and 2058 proteins in dental plaque (DP) samples whereas 607 and 582 human proteins identified in (BS and DP, respectively). 132 genera bacteria in black stains and dental plaque were identified using phylopeptidomic analysis, showing prevalence of Rothia, Kingella, Nesseria and Pseudopropionibatcterium in black stains samples. We additionally confirmed the metaproteomic approach by performing 16S rRNA. In this work, we showed an interesting diversity of the microbiota and proteome including significant difference between Black stain and dental plaque samples.

Project description:The objective of our study was to search for survival biomarkers (SB) and treatment response monitoring biomarkers (TRMB) in the urinary proteome of dogs with renal disease secondardy to canine leishmaniosis (CanL),
Project description:Animal experiments <br>Experiment : Chickens of group 1 were inoculated with 0.2 ml (2*105 EID50) of the H7N1 HPAIV strain, equally divided between the intranasal and intratracheal route. In the same way, animals of group 2 received 2*105 EID50 of the H7N1 LPAIV strain. Sampling: Six chickens from each group were sacrificed just before infection (controls) and at 4, 8, 16 and 24 h.p.i. From all sacrificed chickens, gross pathology of the organs was studied. Lung, trachea, ileum and brains were collected. For RNA isolation, organs were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until use. For immonohistochemistry, samples were fixed immediately by immersion in a zinc salt-based fixative, containing 0.5 % zinc chloride, 0.5% zinc acetate in 0.1 M Tris base buffer containing 0.05 % calcium acetate, pH 7.4 for 48 h. After fixation, the tissues were dehydrated and embedded in paraffin wax. All HPAIV experiments were performed in Biosafety Level 3 facilities.
Project description:Major advances have been made to develop an automated universal 384-well plate sample preparation platform with high reproducibility and adaptability for extraction of proteins from cells within a culture plate. An in-solution digest strategy is employed to generate peptides from the extracted proteins for LC-MS analysis in the 384-well plate. Method evaluation utilized HeLa cells cultured in the 384-well plate ranging from 500 – 10,000 cells. Digestion efficiency was excellent in comparison to the commercial digest peptides standard with minimal sample loss while improving sample preparation throughput by 20 – 40 fold. Analysis of six human cell types, which included two primary cell samples identified and quantified approximately 4,000 proteins for each sample in a single LC-MS/MS injection with as little as 100 – 10,000 cells depending on cell type demonstrating universality of the platform. Implementation of the comprehensive 384-well format protocol for processing cells to clean digested peptides enables large-scale biomarker validation and compound screening through proteomic analysis.
Project description:This work was to study the transcriptome profiles in the skin of chickens with black versus white skin using high-throughput RNA deep-sequencing technology, to investigate the different expression profiles of the genes involved in skin pigmentation, then look for the main differences between black and white skin colors in Lueyang chickens. 16-week-old white and black female Lueyang chickens (5 birds per color) were selected for the sample collection. A piece of skin (8 mm in diameter) from the left back was collected . Total RNA was extracted from the sample using Trizol reagent . Three RNA samples from either the black or white skin samples were pooled following mRNA isolation. The sequencing of the library was performed using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 (LianChuan Sciences, Hangzhou, China). According the result of sequencing, some colored gene expressions were validated using Real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Project description:In order to have a better understanding about gene expression response to NDV in chicken spleen, and also to unravel genetic regulation related to resistance to NDV, gene expression in spleen of two chicken lines [Fayoumi (resistant line) and Leghorn (susceptible line)] with different resistance to infectious diseases were investigated. Each line was divided into two groups (3-4 chickens/group) that are respectively treated by NDV(200 ul of 107 EID50%) and Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) through nasal and ocular inoculation routes at 21 days post hatch. Gene expression in spleen was then detected by RNA-seq at 2 and 6 day post inoculation (dpi).
Project description:Methyl ketone production by P. putida with A. thaliana and switchgrass hydrolysates obtained by dilute acid pretreatment led to the identification of plant-derived amino acids, rather than mono-aromatics, as key stimulative components of these hydrolysates. Shotgun proteomics indicated that the amino acids had a specific inductive effect on proteins involved in fatty acid biosynthesis, leading to a 9-fold increase in methyl ketone titer when amending glucose-containing minimal medium with a defined set of amino acids.
