Transcriptome analysis of multiple tissues reveals the potential mechanism of death under acute heat stress in chicken.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute heat stress could induce high mortality and cause huge economic losses in the poultry industry. Although many studies have revealed heat stress-induced injuries of multiple tissues, the main target tissue and molecular mechanism of death under acute heat stress was largely unknown. This study systematically compared the transcriptome data of five main visceral tissues in chickens to reveal the response of multiple tissues to acute heat stress and determine the main target tissue of acute heat stress, further revealing the injuries of main target tissue and their potential mechanism by combing pathological section and qRT-PCR technologies.

Results

The transcriptome data of five visceral tissues revealed that acute heat stress broadly caused inflammatory respo
