Transcriptomics of the Avian Immune Response in Hypothalamus, Spleen, and Red Blood Cells using RNA-seq

ABSTRACT: The goal of this research is to better understand the transcriptomic response in peripheral and neural tissue of zebra finch to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge using RNASeq. The acute phase response (APR) is the initial reaction of the immune system to infection, and is triggered by pro-inflammatory cytokines or exposure to immunogens, such as bacterial LPS. The APR also inhibits reproduction and induces a number of physiological and behavioral symptoms, such as fever and sickness behavior. Through RNAseq, we can better understand the transcriptomic response of genes that are important for response to infection in a wild species such as the Zebra Finch. This has implications for disease surveillance programs that monitor the epidemiology of zoonotic diseases, like avian influenza and West Nile virus. We examine the transcriptomic response in Zebra Finch spleen and hypothalumus to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge; however, unlike mammals, with the exception of the camel, avian species have red blood cells that contain a nucleus, and will have gene regulation depending on the physiological needs of the organism. Therefore, we also took the opportunity to investigate the transcriptomic response of nucleated red blood cells to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge.

Proteomic analysis of septic renal acute phase response

Project description:Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common form of AKI with poor outcomes. Renal proteomic analysis after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration revealed that the local renal acute phase reaction (APR) is one of the strongest responses of the kidney during septic AKI in mice. Evaluation of mRNA expression confirmed that most acute phase proteins were produced in the kidney. Our study also provides missing information on the time course of septic renal APR. Proteomic analysis of LPS-induced AKI demonstrated a marked upregulation of local renal acute phase response (APR) that commenced a few hours post injection and peaked at 24 h. Much more APPs were involved in the renal APR than previously identified.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the CFS414 zebra finch cell line

Project description:The zebra finch is one of the most commonly studied songbirds in biology, particularly in genomics, neuroscience and vocal communication. However, this species lacks a robust cell line for molecular biology research and reagent optimization. We generated a cell line from zebra finch embryonic fibroblasts using the SV40 large and small T antigens, designated CFS414. This cell line demonstrates an improvement over previous songbird cell lines through continuous and density-independent growth, allowing for indefinite culture and monoclonal line derivation. Cytogenetic, genomic, and transcriptomic profiling established the provenance of this cell line and identified the expression of genes relevant to ongoing songbird research. This single-cell RNA sequencing experiment provided information on the gene expression landscape of the cell line, informing on its cell type, transcriptomic stability, and value to researchers utilizing the zebra finch as a model organism.

Sex bias and dosage compensation in the zebra finch versus chicken genomes: general and specialized patterns among birds

Project description:We have performed a comparison of global patterns of gene expression between two bird species, the chicken and zebra finch, especially with regard to sex bias of autosomal vs. Z chromosome genes, dosage compensation and evolution of sex bias. Both species appear to lack a Z chromosome-wide mechanism of dosage compensation, because both have a similar pattern of significantly higher expression of Z genes in males relative to females. Unlike the chicken Z chromosome, which has female-specific expression of the non-coding RNA MHM (male hypermethylated), and acetylation of histone 4 lysine 16 (H4K16) near MHM, the zebra finch Z chromosome appears to lack the MHM sequence and acetylation of H4K16. The zebra finch also does not show the reduced male to female (M:F) ratio of gene expression near MHM similar to that found in the chicken. Although the M:F ratios of Z chromosome gene expression are similar across tissues and ages within each species, they differ between the two species. Z genes showing the greatest species difference in M:F ratio were concentrated near the MHM region of the chicken Z chromosome. The current study shows that the zebra finch differs from the chicken because it lacks a specialized region of greater dosage compensation along the Z chromosome, and shows dosage compensation for a different set of Z genes than the chicken. These patterns suggest that different avian taxa may have evolved specific compensatory mechanisms.

Gene expression profiling of liver from dairy cows subjected to intra-mammary LPS treatment: time course

Project description:Liver plays a profound role in the acute phase response (APR) observed in the early phase of acute bovine mastitis caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). To gain an insight into the genes and pathways involved in hepatic APR of dairy cows we performed a global gene expression analysis of liver tissue sampled at different time points before and after intra-mammary (IM) exposure to E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment.

Transcriptomic response of skeletal muscle to lipopolysaccharide in the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)

Project description:The physiological consequences of an activation of the immune system in fish are not well understood. In particular, skeletal muscle, due to its essential role in locomotion and whole-animal energy homeostasis, is a potentially important target of inflammation. In this study, we have evaluated the in vivo effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the white and red skeletal muscle transcriptome of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) by microarray analysis at 24 and 72 hours after injection. In white muscle, the transcriptomic response was characterized by an up-regulation of genes involved in carbohydrate catabolism and protein synthesis at 24 hours and a complete reversal of this pattern at 72 hours. In red muscle, an up-regulation of genes involved in carbohydrate catabolism and protein synthesis was observed only at 72 hours after LPS administration. Interestingly, both white and red muscles showed a similar consistent down-regulation of immune genes at 72 hours post-injection. However, genes involved in muscle contraction showed a general up-regulation in response to LPS in both types of muscle. In summary, LPS administration causes muscle type-specific responses regarding the expression of genes involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism and a common decreased expression of immune genes in skeletal muscle, concomitant with increased expression of genes for contractile elements. Our results evidence a robust and tissue-specific transcriptomic response of the skeletal muscle to an acute inflammatory challenge.

Interspecific single-cell transcriptomic analysis reveals differences in signaling pathways governing gonadal primordial germ cells between chicken and zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) [chicken scRNA-seq]

Project description:Primordial germ cells (PGCs), major cell resource used in the production of germline chimeras in birds, have been used in conservation of avian genetic resources and production of transgenic animals. Numerous bird species have been put on the brink of extinction due to habitat loss and degradation caused by environmental destruction and climate change, but research on PGCs is limited to specific poultry, such as chickens. Although it has recently been expanding to various bird species, it is still difficult to utilize PGCs due to biological differences and difficulties in in vitro long-term culture. Here, we constructed a single-cell landscape of chicken gonadal PGCs with established long-term culture systems of PGCs and compared them with those of the vocal learning wild bird, the zebra finches. Our results identified the interspecific differences in signaling pathways in gonadal PGCs and somatic cells, respectively. In particular, the NODAL and insulin signaling pathways were more active in zebra finch than in chickens, whereas the FGF downstream signaling pathway known to be important for the proliferation of chicken PGCs, was more active in chickens. These differences may contribute to optimizing the in vitro culture conditions of zebra finch PGCs. This study is the first cross-species single-cell transcriptomic analysis targeting birds, and laid an essential groundwork to contribute to the restoration of endangered birds and the production of transgenic birds by securing sufficient PGCs from various bird species in the future.
