Identification of Key HIF-1α Target Genes that Regulate Adaptation to Hypoxic Conditions in Tibetan Chicken Embryos

ABSTRACT: Background: Tibetan chicken, a unique plateau breed, has a suite of adaptive features that enable it to tolerate the high-altitude hypoxic environment. HIF‐1α (hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha) is a crucial mediator of the cellular response to hypoxia. HIF‐1α maintains oxygen homeostasis by inducing glycolysis, erythropoiesis, and angiogenesis; however, the target genes involved in adaptive responses to hypoxia in animals and birds of plateaus are still unclear. Results: We used ChIP-seq to map HIF‐1α binding regions in chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) tissue of chicken embryos, and identified 752 HIF-1α target genes (TG), of which 112 were differentially expressed target genes (DTGs) between the two breeds. We found that eight genes (PTK2, GPNMB, CALD1, SLC25A1, SPRY2, NUPL2, RANBPL, and CBWD1) play important roles in hypoxic adaption by regulating blood vessel development, energy metabolism through angiogenesis, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and various hypoxia-related signaling pathways (including VEGF and MAPK) in Tibetan chickens during embryonic development. Conclusions: This study enhances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hypoxic adaptation in Tibetan chickens and provides new insights into adaptation to hypoxia in humans and other species living at high altitude.

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

Project description: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. In the present study, eggs from Tibetan (TC) and Chahua (CH) chickens were incubated under hypoxic and normoxic conditions, and vascularization in the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of embryos was observed. We found that the vessel density index (VDI) in CAM of TCs was lower than in CHs under hypoxia incubation.Proteomic analyses of CAM tissues were performed in TC and CH embryos under hypoxic incubation using iTRAQ. We obtained 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. Therefore, this research provided insights into the molecular mechanism of hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan chickens.

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 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.

Transcription profiling of chicken embryonic hears from Tibetan Chicken, Dwarf Recessive White Chicken and Shouguang Chicken

Project description:Adaptation to hypoxia is a complicated and important physiological course for organisms, but the genetic mechanism underlying the adaptation is not fully understood yet. Tibetan Chicken (T), an indigenous chicken breed in China which inhabit in high areas with an altitude above 2,900 meters. Shouguang Chicken(S) and Dwarf Recessive White Chicken (DRW), two lowland chicken breeds, were used as control groups. The heart was the first functional organ to develop during the embryonic development. Furthermore, the heart is an efficient energy converter utilizing the most appropriate fuel for a given environment. Therefore, GeneChipÂ® Chicken Genome Array was employed to identify the differentially expressed genes in embryonic hearts of Tibetan Chicken and two lowland chicken breeds in both hypoxic and normoxic incubating environments with a genome wide profile. Experiment Overall Design: To obtain general expression profiles of embryonic hearts in Tibetan Chicken(T), Dwarf Recessive White Chicken (DRW)and Shouguang Chicken (S)in hypoxia and normoxia, the fertilized full sib eggs of all the three chicken breeds were incubated under two different conditions. The heart was isolated from all the three chicken breeds under the two different conditions for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Transcriptomic analysis of the HIF-1α impact on the gene expression profile of chicken fibroblasts under hypoxia

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcriptional regulator that mediates cellular adaptive responses to hypoxia. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) is involved in the development of ascites syndrome (AS) in broiler chickens. Therefore, studying the effect of HIF-1α on the cellular transcriptome under hypoxic conditions will help to better understand the mechanism of HIF-1α in the development of AS in broilers. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression profile of the DF-1 cell line under hypoxic conditions by RNA-seq. Additionally, we constructed the HIF-1α knockdown DF-1 cell line by using the RNAi method and analyzed the gene expression profile under hypoxic conditions. The results showed that exposure to hypoxia for 48 hours had a significant impact on the expression of genes in the DF-1 cell line, which related to cell proliferation, stress response, and apoptosis. In addition, after HIF-1α knockdown more differential expression genes appeared than in wild-type cells, and the expression of most hypoxia-related genes was either down-regulated or remained unchanged. Pathway analysis results showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in pathways related to cell proliferation, apoptosis, and oxidative phosphorylation. Our study obtained transcriptomic data from chicken fibroblasts at different hypoxic times and identified the potential regulatory network associated with HIF-1α. This data provides valuable support for understanding the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of HIF-1α in the development of AS in broilers.

Genome Resequencing Identifies Unique Adaptations of Tibetan Chickens to Hypoxia and High-dose Ultraviolet Radiation in High-altitude Environments

Project description:Tibetan chickens exhibit specific adaptations to high-altitude conditions compared with their lowland counterparts. To illustrate the genetic mechanisms of such adaptations in highland chickens, the genomes of four highland and four lowland chicken populations were resequenced. Our results showed that genes under positive selection in highland populations were related to cardiovascular and respiratory system development, DNA repair, response to radiation, inflammation, and immune response, indicating a strong adaptation to oxygen scarcity and high-intensity solar radiation. The distribution of allele frequencies of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms between highland and lowland populations was also analyzed by chi-square test. The results showed that several differentially distributed genes with missense mutations were enriched in several functional categories, especially in blood vessel development, which were related to adaptations to hypoxia and intense radiation. RNA sequencing also revealed that several differentially expressed genes were enriched in gene ontology terms related to blood vessel and respiratory system development. Additionally, an evident admixture found in Tibetan chickens suggested a history of introgression from lowland gene pools. Overall, our data provided new insights into the unique adaptation of highland animals to extreme environments.
