Addressing Asia's fast growing diabetes epidemic.

ABSTRACT: Hampered by shortages of resources, specialized services and skilled health workers, India and other countries in south-east Asia are scrambling to respond to type 2 diabetes epidemics. Sophie Cousins reports.

Salmon fast growing muscle LC-MSMS

Project description:Fast growth is vital to the commercial production of fish and has been achieved gradually, through generations of selective breeding, and instantaneously, through growth hormone (GH) transgenesis (GHT). The proteomic basis for these differing routes towards a largely common higher phenotype is poorly characterized, as are associated implications for fish health parameters. We addressed this knowledge gap in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) testing two hypotheses: i) that selective breeding and GHT are underpinned by both parallel and non-parallel changes in growth pathways compared to wild-type, and ii) that rapidly growing fish have less scope to allocate energetic resources into immune function. Skeletal muscle was studied, owing to its central role in growth and energetic storage. We compared the proteomes of GHT and growth-selected domesticated strains with wild-type animals following injections with PBS (control) and Poly I:C (to mimic viral infection). Hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass-spectrometry using a label-free analysis revealed large changes in the proteome of GHT and growth-selected strains that were strikingly non-overlapping, with surprisingly few parallel changes. GHT was characterized by a focal upregulation of translation systems, while growth-selected fish presented a larger and more diverse set of changes, consistent with genetic alterations influencing an array of metabolic and cellular pathways. Contrasting past studies examining mRNA levels, many proteomic changes distinguished the growth-selected strain from both GHT and wild fish. Contrasting our second hypothesis, Poly I:C had little detectable effect on the muscle proteome. This investigation reveals that highly distinct proteome profiles can explain outwardly similar growth phenotypes, improving our understanding of how fast growth is achieved in animal strains created by humans.

Comparison of the genome-wide DNA methylation profiles between fast-growing and slow-growing broilers

Project description:Chicken growth traits are important in poultry production, however, little is known for its regulatory mechanism at epigenetic level. Therefore, this study aims to compare DNA methylation profiles between fast- and slow-growing broilers in order to identify candidate genes underlying chicken growth. Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation-sequencing (MeDIP-seq) was used to investigate the genome-wide DNA methylation pattern in high and low tails of Recessive White Rock (WRRh, WRRl) and that of Xinhua Chickens (XHh, XHl). The results showed that the average of methylation density was the lowest in CGIs followed by promoters. Within the gene body, the methylation density of introns was higher than UTRs and exons. Moreover, different methylation levels were observed in different repeat types with the highest in LINE/CR1. Methylated CGIs were prominently distributed in the intergenic regions and were enriched in the size range of 200-300 bp. In total 13,294 methylated genes were found in four samples, including 4,085 differentially methylated genes between WRRh and WRRl, 5,599 between XHh and XHl, 4,204 between WRRh and XHh, as well as 7,301 between WRRl and XHl. Moreover, 132 differentially methylated genes related to growth and metabolism were observed in both inner contrasts (WRRh Vs. WRRl and XHh Vs. XHl), whereas 129 differentially methylated genes related to growth and metabolism were found in both across-breed contrasts (WRRh Vs. XHh and WRRl Vs. XHl). Further analysis showed that overall 75 genes exhibited altered DNA methylation in all four contrasts, which included some well-known growth factors of IGF1R, FGF12, FGF14, FGF18, FGFR2, and FGFR3. In addition, we further validate the MeDIP-seq results by bisulfite sequencing in some regions.

Characterizition of a fast-growing Lactococcus lactis mutant on maltose

Project description:Trade-offs often occurs during experimental evolution. For example, the degeneration of growth in glucose was found in a galactose adapted yeast. Here, we isolated one Lactococcus lactis mutant using experimental on maltose. The mutant grows normally on glucose, but faster than the wild-type on maltose and galactose. DNA microarray analysis and whole genome re-sequencing were applied to disclose the crucial points that determine the phenotype.

Deep Sequencing Analysis of miRNAs Expression in Breast Muscle of Fast-Growing and Slow-Growing Broilers

Project description:To investigate the function of miRNAs in chicken growth, breast muscle tissues of the two-tail samples (highest and lowest body weight) from Recessive White Rock (WRR) and Xinghua Chickens (XH) were performed on high throughput small RNA deep sequencing. In this study, a total of 921 miRNAs were identified, including 733 known mature miRNAs and 188 novel miRNAs. There were 200, 279, 257 and 297 differentially expressed miRNAs in the contrasts of WRRh Vs. WRRl, WRRh Vs. XHh, WRRl Vs. XHl, and XHh Vs. XHl group, respectively. A total of 22 serious differentially expressed miRNAs (fold change > 2 or < 0.5; P-value < 0.05; q-value < 0.01) which also have abundant expression (read counts > 1,000) were found in our contrasts. As far as two contrasts (WRRh Vs. WRRl, and XHh Vs. XHl) are concerned, we found 80 common differentially expressed miRNAs, meanwhile 110 miRNAs were found in WRRh Vs. XHh and WRRl Vs. XHl. Furthermore, only 26 common miRNAs were identified among all of four contrasts.
