A comparison of genome-wide DNA methylation profiles between Tibetan and Yorkshire pigs

ABSTRACT: We investigated the heart tissue whole-genome DNA methylation data of Tibetan and Yorkshire pigs raised at high and low altitudes using MeDIP-seq (methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing) technologies, in order to comparatively analyze epigenetic regulation in the two breeds under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. In addition, we aimed to identify the key genes and molecular mechanisms that are involved in adaptation to high altitude in the Tibetan pig. The results of bisulphite sequencing and RT-qPCR indicated that the differentially methylated genes identified in MeDIP-seq were credible. Our results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms and the epigenetic mechanism involved in hypoxic adaptation in pigs, and a greater understanding of human hypoxic diseases.

Genome-wide DNA methylation in Tibetan chicken and Chahua chicken embryos

Project description:In this study, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (MeDIP-seq) was used to provide an atlas of DNA methylomes in the heart tissue of hypoxic highland Tibetan and lowland Chahua chicken embryos.A total of 31.2 gigabases (Gb) of sequence data were generated from six MeDIP-seq libraries. We identified 1049 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and 695 related differentially methylated genes (DMGs) between the two chicken breeds. The DMGs were involved in vascular smooth muscle contraction, VEGF signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, and other hypoxia related pathways. Five candidate genes that had low methylation (EDNRA, EDNRB, BMPR1B, BMPRII, and ITGA2) might have key regulatory functions for hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chicken embryos. Our study provides significant explanations for the functions of genes and their epigenetic regulation for hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens.

A comprehensive microRNA expression profile related to hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan pig

Project description:In this study, miRNA-seq technique was used to identify differentially expressed miRNAs (DE miRNAs) in cardiac muscle of the Tibetan pig (TP) and Yorkshire pig (YP), which were both raised in highland environments. We obtained 108 M clean reads and 372 unique miRNAs that included 210 known pre-miRNAs and 162 novel pre-miRNAs. In addition, 20 DE miRNAs, including 10 upregulated and 10 downregulated miRNAs, were identified by comparing TP and YP. Based on the expression abundance and differentiation between the two populations, we predicted their targets, and KEGG pathway analyses suggested that DE miRNAs between the Tibetan pigs and Yorkshire pigs are involved in hypoxia-related pathways, such as the MAPK, mTOR, and VEGF signaling pathways, cancer-related signaling pathways, etc. Five DE miRNAs were randomly selected to validate the veracity of miRNA-seq using real-time PCR. The results showed that the expression corresponds to the trend in miRNA-seq, hence the deep-sequencing methods were feasible and efficient. This study expanded the number of hypoxic-adaptation-related miRNAs in pig and indicated that the expression patterns of hypoxia-related miRNAs are significantly altered in the Tibetan pig. DE miRNAs may play important roles in hypoxic adaptation after migration to hypoxic environments. mRNA profiles of 6-month old Tibetan pig (TP) and Yorkshire pig (YP) were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Hiseq 2000.

miRNA expression in Placental Tissue from high altitude European and Tibetan women

Project description:We used in silico analyses to identify the distinct transcriptome signatures of two populations living at high altitudes and identified potential mechanisms that underlie high-altitude adaptation. Data generated in this study indicate that placentas from Tibetan women are genetically distinct from European women at high altitudes, and appear to be protected from hypoxia and stress.

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analysis provides insight into the key genes involved in high-altitude adaptation in Tibetan pig (RNA-seq)

Project description:In this study, RNA-seq technique was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in cardiac muscle of the Tibetan pigs raised at highland (TH), Tibetan pigs raised at lowland (TL), Yorkshire pigs raised at highland (YH) and Yorkshire raised at lowland (YL). We obtained 551M clean reads and detected 18585 genes that were expressed in the eight heart samples. According to a standard of fold-change (FC>2 or FC <0.5) and difference significant (P<0.05), obtained 299, 169, 242 and 368 of significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) respectively in TH vs.YH, TH vs.TL, TL vs.YL and YH vs.YL. GO and pathways analysis for DEGs results showed enrichment in HIF-1 signaling pathway, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiovascular development, immunity, DNA damage and other biological functions. Eight DEGs were randomly selected to validate the veracity of RNA-seq and using real-time PCR. The results showed that the expression corresponds to the trend in RNA-seq, hence the deep-sequencing methods were feasible and efficient. This study expanded the number of hypoxic-adaptation-related genes in pig and indicated that the expression patterns of hypoxia-related genes are significantly altered in the Tibetan pig. DEGs may play important roles in hypoxic adaptation after migration to hypoxic environments.

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses provide insights into functional genes for hypoxic adaptation in embryos of Tibetan chickens

Project description:Background/Aims: Tibetan chickens, a unique plateau breed, have good performances to adapt to high-altitude hypoxic environments. A number of positively selected genes have been reported in Tibetan chickens; however, the mechanisms of gene expression for hypoxia adaptation are not fully understood. Methods: Eggs from Tibetan (TC) and Chahua (CH) chickens were incubated under hypoxic and normoxic conditions, and vessel density index (VDI) in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of embryos was measured. Meanwhile, Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of CAM tissues were performed in TC and CH embryos under hypoxic incubation using RNA-seq and iTRAQ. Results: We found that the vessel density index (VDI) in CAM of TCs was lower than in CHs under hypoxia incubation. In the transcriptomic and proteomic analyses, 160 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 387 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) that were mainly enriched in angiogenesis, vasculature development, blood vessel morphogenesis, blood circulation, renin-angiotensin system, and HIF-1 and VEGF signaling pathways. Twenty-six genes involved in angiogenesis and blood circulation, two genes involved in ion transport, and six genes that regulated energy metabolism were identified as candidate functional genes in regulating hypoxic adaption of chicken embryos. Conclusion: Combination of transcriptomic and proteomic data revealed several key candidate regulators and pathways that might play high-priority roles in the hypoxic adaptation of Tibetan chickens by regulating angiogenesis and promoting blood circulation, thus explaining the blunt responses to hypoxic conditions on CAM angiogenesis in Tibetan chicken embryos. This research provided insights into the molecular mechanism of hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chickens.

Comprehensive analysis of coding and non-Coding RNA transcriptomes related to hypoxic adaptation in the Tibetan chickens

Project description:Tibetan chicken has a suite of adaptive features to tolerate the high-altitude hypoxic environment as a unique native breed in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have roles in hypoxic adaptation of high-altitude animals, though their exact contributions remain unclear. This study aims to uncover the global landscape of mRNAs, lncRNAs and miRNAs using transcriptome sequencing so as to construct a regulatory network of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) provide a new sight for the hypoxic adaptation of Tibetan chicken embryos. In the study, 354 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEGs), 389 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) and 73 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified between Tibetan (TC) and Chahua chicken (CH). The functional analysis showed that several important DEMs and their targets of DELs and DEMs are involved in angiogenesis (include blood vessel development and blood circulation) and energy metabolism (include glucose, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism). The ceRNA network was then constructed with the predicted pairs of DEGs-DEMs-DELs which further revealed regulatory roles of these differentially expressed RNAs in hypoxic adaptation of Tibetan chicken.

Genome-wide profiling of gene expression and DNA methylation provides insight into low-altitude acclimation in Tibetan pigs [RNA-seq]

Project description:To explore the exceptional mechanisms of gene expression and DNA methylation that are induced by low altitude environments in Tibetan pigs, we performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of skeletal muscle in indigenous Tibetan pigs that reside in high altitude regions (～4,000 m) and their counterparts that migrated to the geographically neighboring low-altitude regions (～500 m) for nearly ten generations. We identified protein coding genes that related to hypoxia response (EGLN3 and FLT1), oxygen transport and energy metabolism (TFB2M), and two long non-coding RNAs (TCONS_00039686 and TCONS_00084992) that associated with the regulation of transcription and various nucleolus and organelle lumen, were differentially expressed between Tibetan pigs and their counterparts in low-altitude regions, thus might be the potential candidate regulators in skeletal muscle of low-altitude acclimation in Tibetan pigs. We also found genes embedded in differentially methylated regions between Tibetan pigs and their counterparts in low-altitude regions were mainly involved in ‘Starch and sucrose metabolism’, ‘glucuronosyltransferase activity’ processes, hypoxia and energy metabolism. We envision that this study will serve as a valuable resource for mammal acclimatization research and agricultural food industry.
