Analysis of the turkey reproductive tract transcriptome

ABSTRACT: The male reproductive tract tissue samples were obtained from six 38-wk-old turkeys. The gene expression pattern in turkey testis, epididymis and ductus deferens were determined by high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. The obtained sequence reads were mapped to the turkey genome, and relative expression values were calculated for the analysis of differential expressed genes. Bioinformatics analysis revealed several candidate genes potentially involved in spermatogenesis, spermiogenesis and flagella formation in testis and post-testicular sperm maturation in epididymis and ductus deferens. The achievement of spermatozoa motility during post-testicular maturation were found to be linked with development of flagellum actin filaments and biochemical processes including Ca2+ influx and protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Finally, genes involved in reproductive system development and morphogenesis were identified.

Anatomical transcriptome atlas of the male mouse reproductive system during aging

Project description:The testis, efferent ductules, epididymis, and vas deferens, constituting the majority of male reproductive tract, are the regions for testosterone production, spermatogenesis, and sperm maturation, storage and discharge, but whether these regions change during aging is unknown. Here, we addressed this by investigating the adult (3-month) and aged (18-month) transcriptomes from seven regions of male mouse reproductive tract：the testis, efferent ductules, initial segment, caput, corpus and cauda epididymis, and vas deferens. We identified various of region-specific genes across different regions of male mouse reproductive tract. Moreover, we identified region-dependent changes of transcripts at an anatomic resolution. This study provides a framework for futher studies on male reproducitve aging.

Validation of chicken array for gene expression analysis in turkey

Project description:To validate the use of chicken array for turkey, the ability of species-specific hybridization (SSH, chicken samples-chicken arrays) and cross-species hybridization (CSH, turkey samples-chicken arrays) were compared in the same biological conditions. Reproductively active laying chickens and reproductively inactive non-laying pullets were used to generate the results for SSH. Similarly, reproductively active laying turkeys and reproductively inactive non-laying photorefractory turkeys were used to generate the results for CSH.

Differential expression of skeletal muscle genes between normal and pale, soft and exudative (PSE) turkey meat.

Project description:The objective of this study was to determine differential gene expression of turkey breast muscle regarding development of PSE meat defect. Genetically unimproved, random-bred (RBC2) turkeys representing turkeys from 1966, which are smaller and grow slower than modern turkeys, were raised at the Michigan State University (MSU) Poultry farm and harvested at 22 week of age. Breast meat was collected and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Percent marinade uptake at 24h post-slaughter of each sample was determined. The highest (n=6) and the lowest (n=6) marinade uptake were classified as normal and PSE, respectively. Differentially expressed genes between normal and PSE was identified using TSMLO microarray and confirmed by qRT-PCR. Forty-one oligos were differentially expressed (false discovery rate, FDR<0.1). Candidate genes and pathways associated with development of PSE in turkey were suggested for further experiment to gain greater comprehension about this meat quality defect.

Biogenesis and function of tRNA fragments during sperm maturation and fertilization in mammals (ICSI)

Project description:Parental dietary conditions can influence the metabolic traits of offspring. In mice, paternal consumption of low protein diet alters cholesterol and lipid metabolism of progeny. Here, we examine RNA species expressed in male reproductive tissues of mice. Protein restriction leads to altered levels of multiple small RNAs in mature sperm, as well as throughout the male reproductive tract, with decreased levels of let-7 family members and increased levels of 5â fragments of tRNA-Gly isoacceptors. Intriguingly, tRNA fragments are scarce in the testis, but their levels increase in sperm during post-testicular maturation in the epididymis. We find that epididymosomes â extracellular vesicles which fuse with sperm during epididymal transit â exhibit RNA payloads closely matching those of mature sperm, and can deliver tRNA fragments to immature sperm in vitro both in mouse and in bull. Finally, we show that tRNA-Gly-GCC fragments play a role in repressing genes associated with the endogenous retroelement MERVL, both in ES cells and in preimplantation embryos. Our results shed light on small RNA biogenesis during post-testicular sperm maturation, and link tRNA fragments to regulation of endogenous retroelements active in the early embryo. Zygotes were generated by ICSI from oocytes/females fed a Control diet and sperm/males fed either a Control or Low Protein diet. The sperm was isolated from either the Rete testis or the Cauda epididymis and injected either as a whole sperm or just the sperm head. Following fertilization by ICSI the zygotes developed for 28 hours (2C stage) and were harvested for single-embryo RNA-Seq.

Gene expression in the Efferent duct, Epididymis, and Vas deferens during Embryonic Development

Project description:The tissues of the male reproductive tract are characterized by distinct morphologies, ranging from highly coiled to un-coiled. Global gene expression profiles of the efferent ducts, epididymis, and vas deferens were generated from embryonic day 14.5 to postnatal day 1, the period when gross morphological changes are initiated and tissue-specific morphologies emerge. Expression profiles of homeobox genes, as potential regionalization factors, were examined. Tissue transcriptome comparison identified two expression profiles of interest: genes similar between the epididymis and vas deferens early in development but dissimilar later and genes dissimilar between the epididymis and efferent duct early but similar later. Ontology analysis demonstrated cell adhesion-associated genes to be highly enriched in both comparisons. This work identified several potential regulators of cell adhesion along the tract and indicates cell adhesion may be modulated in a tissue-specific manner, playing an important role in the establishment of each tissueâs final morphology.

Transcriptional response of turkey blood leukocytes challenged with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium UK1

Project description:Salmonella is one of most common causes of bacterial foodborne disease and consumption of contaminated poultry products, including turkey, is one route of exposure. Minimizing colonization of commercial turkeys with Salmonella could reduce the incidence of Salmonella-associated human foodborne illness. Understanding host responses to these bacteria could lead to potential strategies to minimize colonization and thus food safety risk. In this study, we evaluated bacterial load and blood leukocyte transcriptomic responses of 3-week-old turkeys challenged with the Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) UK1 strain. Turkeys (n = 8/dose) were inoculated with 108 or 1010 colony forming units (CFU) of S. Typhimurium UK1 and fecal shedding and tissue colonization were measured across multiple days post inoculation (dpi). Fecal shedding was 1-2 log10 higher in the 1010 CFU group than the 108 CFU group, but both doses effectively colonized the crop, spleen, ileum, cecum, colon, bursa of Fabricius and cloaca without causing any overt clinical signs in either group of birds. Blood leukocytes were isolated from a subset of the birds (n =3-4/dpi) both pre-infection (0 dpi) and 2 dpi with 1010 CFU and their transcriptomic responses assayed by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). After 2 dpi, 647 genes had significant differential expression (DE), including large increases in expression of immune genes such as CCAH221, IL4I1, LYZ, IL13RA2, IL22RA2, and ACOD1. IL1B was predicted as a major regulator of DE in these leukocytes and this DE was predicted to activate cell migration, phagocytosis and proliferation, and to impact the STAT3 and toll-like receptor pathways. These data revealed genes and pathways by which turkey blood leukocytes responded to the pathogen and can provide potential targets for developing intervention strategies or diagnostic assays to mitigate S. Typhimurium in turkeys.

Analysis of the turkey skeletal muscle transcriptome between genetic lines within a developmental stage (Experiment 2)

Project description:The purpose of Experiment 2 was two-fold: a) to evaluate a unique set of negative, distance, and mismatch control probes on the newly designed 6K TSKMLO microarray, and b) to identify differences in gene expression between two genetic lines of turkeys that phenotypically display differences in growth. Negative and mismatch controls confirmed specific hybridization using this array, and genes identified as differentially expressed between developmental stages by microarray analysis were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Novel candidate genes and pathways were identified as playing potentially crucial roles in skeletal muscle development between 2 distinct lines of turkeys with implications for improving turkey meat quality defects and growth-induced myopathies long-term. This experiment utilized turkeys from two genetic lines: RBC2, a randomly bred control line representative of a 1,967 commercial turkey, and F, a subline genetically selected from the RBC2 line for increased 16-week body weight. Skeletal muscle was collected at three critical developmental stages: 18-day embryo (18de; peak of hyperplasia), 1-day post-hatch (1d; shift from myoblast-mediated growth to satellite cell modulated growth by hypertrophy), and 16-week-old birds (16wk; completion of muscle formation and approximate age of commercial slaughter). Experiment 2 was designed to directly compare the two genetic lines, RBC2 vs. F, for each of the three stages of skeletal muscle development: 18de, 1d, and 16wk. Experiment 2 contained 10 arrays per comparison, therefore, it contained 30 arrays total. Birds were randomly assigned to an array, and hybridizations were performed in random order.
