The effect of diet and breed on global gene expression profiles of animals divergent for RFI

ABSTRACT: The selection of cattle with high feed efficiency is of paramount importance with regard to reducing feed costs in the beef industry. Developing predictive biological markers specifically for improved feed efficiency is an attractive alternative to direct measurement on large numbers of animals.Evidence is provided that, effects of RFI on gene expression in muscle of beef cattle are not consistent across breed type or dietary phase. These novel observations challenge the practicality of selecting and breeding for low RFI animals across different diets and stages of development. Perhaps, future research should be directed at utilising different diets to harness the full genetic potential of animal based on breed or stage of maturity. Further to this, evidence is provided from our own work and that of others that less efficient HF steers consuming zero grazed grass are under increased stress as demonstrated by an upregulation of immune function in these animals.

Identification of key pathways associated with residual feed intake of beef cattle

Project description:The biological mechanisms associated with the residual feed intake in ruminants have been harnessed immensely via transcriptome analysis of liver and ruminal epithelium, however, this concept has not been fully explored using whole blood. We applied whole blood transcriptome analysis and gene set enrichment analysis to identify key pathways associated with divergent selection for low or high RFI in beef cattle. A group of 56 crossbred beef steers (average BW = 261.3 ± 18.5 kg) were adapted to a high-forage total mixed ration in a confinement dry lot equipped with GrowSafe intake nodes for period of 49 d to determine their residual feed intake (RFI). After RFI determination, weekly whole blood samples were collected three times from beef steers with the lowest RFI (most efficient; low-RFI; n = 8) and highest RFI (least efficient; high-RFI; n = 8). Prior to RNA extraction, whole blood samples collected were composited for each steer. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq2000 equipped with a P3 flow. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to analyze differentially expressed gene sets and pathways between the two groups of steers. Results of GSEA revealed pathways associated with metabolism of proteins, cellular responses to external stimuli, stress, and heat stress were differentially inhibited (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05) in high-RFI compared to low-RFI beef cattle, while pathways associated with binding and uptake of ligands by scavenger receptors, scavenging of heme from plasma, and erythrocytes release/take up oxygen were differentially enriched (FDR < 0.05) in high-RFI, relative to low-RFI beef cattle. Taken together, our results revealed that beef steers divergently selected for low or high RFI revealed differential expressions of genes related to protein metabolism and stress responsiveness.

The effect of breed and diet on the liver transcriptome of beef steers divergent in RFI

Project description:The objective of this work was to investigate differential gene expression of Charolais (n=90) and Holstein Freisian (n=77) steers divergent in RFI. The primary goal was to uncover genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency. Cattle were subjected to three different 70 day dietary phases. Initally animals were offered a high concentrate phase, termed "High Concentrate 1". Following this phase animals were offered sero grazed grass for 70 days followed by another high concentrate phase known as "High Concentrate 2". Prior to each stage beginning a dietary adaption period was allowed. Liver biopsies were taken at the end of each dietary phase for animals deemed as either high or low in RFI. RNA was extracted and liver gene expression was investigated using RNA-Seq.

RNA-Seq data from dairy sheep milk samples divergent for feed efficience

Project description:The knowledge of the genetic architecture behind feed efficiency would allow to breed more efficient animals maximizing farm profitability and reducing the environmental impact of animal production. This study analyzes high throughput gene expression data from milk samples to determine key genes and biological mechanisms associated to feed efficiency in dairy sheep.A detailed description of the sheep management practices and calculations for the feed efficiency index (FEI) are detailed in 10.3168/jds.2020-19061. For these analyses, we selected animals with divergent FEI values from a group of 40 lactating Assaf ewes. RNA-Seq was performed on milk somatic cell samples from 8 high feed efficiency sheep (H-FE), FEI = −0.29 (SD = 0.23), RFI = −0.16 (SD = 0.25), and 8 low feed efficiency sheep (L-FE), FEI = 0.81 (SD = 0.24), RFI = 0.19 (SD = 0.24)).

Gene Expression Profiling of Hormonal Regulation Related to the Residual Feed Intake of Holstein Cattle

Project description:An accumulation of over a decade of research in cattle has shown that genetic selection for decreased residual feed intake (RFI), defined as the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and its expected feed intake, is a viable option for improving feed efficiency and reducing the feed requirements of herds, thereby improving the profitability of cattle producers. Hormonal regulation is one of the most important factors in feed intake. To determine the relationship between hormones and feed efficiency, we performed gene expression profiling of hormonal regulation in whole blood of Chinese Holstein cattle with low and high RFI coefficients. 857 differential expression genes (from 24683 genes) were found. Among these, 415 genes were up-regulated and 442 genes were down-regulated in the low RFI group. The gene ontology (GO) search revealed 6 significant terms and 64 genes associated with hormonal regulation, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) selected the adipocytokine signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway. In conclusion, the study indicated that the molecular expression of genes associated with hormonal regulation differs in dairy cows, depending on their RFI coefficients, and that these differences may be related to the molecular regulation of the leptin-NPY and insulin signaling pathways.

Characterization and profiling of liver microRNAs in cattle divergently selected for residual feed intake by RNA-sequencing

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate expression of mRNAs in many biological pathways. Here we report comprehensive miRNAs profiles by next-gen deep sequencing in Angus cattle divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) and identify miRNAs related to feed efficiency in beef cattle Results: Two microRNA libraries were constructed from pooled RNA extracted from livers of low and high RFI cattle, and sequenced by Illumina genome analyser. In total, 23,628,103 high quality short sequence reads were obtained and more than half of these reads were matched to the bovine genome (UMD 3.1). We identified 305 known bovine miRNAs (miRBase v.19). Bta-miR-143, bta-miR-30, bta-miR-122, bta-miR-378 and bta-let-7 were the top five most abundant miRNAs families expressed in liver, representing more than 63% of expressed miRNAs. We also identified 52 homologous miRNAs and 10 novel putative bovine-specific miRNAs, based on precursor sequence and the secondary structure and utilizing the miRBase (version 19). We compared the miRNAs profile between high and low RFI animals and ranked the most differentially expressed bovine known miRNAs. Bovine miR-143 was the most abundant miRNA in the bovine liver and comprised 20% of total expressed mapped miRNAs. The most highly expressed miRNA in liver of mice and humans, miR-122, was the third most abundant in our cattle liver samples. We also identified 10 putative novel bovine-specific miRNA candidates. Differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI cattle were identified with 18 miRNAs being up-regulated and 7 other miRNAs down-regulated in low RFI cattle Conclusions: Our study has identified comprehensive miRNAs expressed in bovine liver. Some of the expressed miRNAs are novel in cattle. The differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI give some insights into liver miRNAs regulating physiological pathways underlying residual feed intake in bovine
