Project description:Sheep provide considerable materials for the animal fibre industry. Identifying genes of major effect for wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray and proteomic technology to investigate the gene expression patterns of body side skin between Aohan fine wool sheep and small tail Han sheep (two Chinese indigenous breed) at the anagen stage of wool follicle. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation, including fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factor-β, WNTs, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factors and so on. Furthermore, according to the results at both mRNA and protein levels, similar regulation mechanism of gene activity might be engaged during skin development and embryo development.

Project description:Background: Sheep are valuable resources for the animal fibre industry. Therefore, identifying genes which regulate wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent sheep gene expression microarray and proteomic technology to compare the gene expression patterns of the body side (hair-rich) and groin (hairless) skins of Aohan fine wool sheep (a Chinese indigenous breed). Results: Comparing the body side to the groin skins (S/G) of Aohan fine wool sheep, the microarray study revealed that 1494 probes were differentially expressed, including 602 more highly expressed and 892 less highly expressed probes. The microarray results were verified by means of quantitative PCR. Cluster analysis could distinguish the body side skin and the groin skin. Based on the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), 38 of the differentially expressed genes were classified into four categories, namely regulation of receptor binding, multicellular organismal process, protein binding and macromolecular complex. Proteomic study revealed that 187 protein spots showed significant (p < 0.05) differences in their respective expression levels. Among them, 46 protein entries were further identified by MALDI-TOF/MS analyses. Conclusions: Microarray analysis revealed thousands of differentially expressed genes, many of which were possibly associated with wool growth. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation. Proteomic analysis also indentified hundreds of differentially expressed proteins.

Project description:Here, Single-cell suspensions from the wavy wool and straight wool lambskins were prepared for unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Based on UAMP analysis, we identified 19 distinct populations from 15,830 single-cell transcriptomes and delineated their cellular identity from specific gene expression profiles. Furtherly, novel marker gene was applied in identifying dermal papilla cells isolated in vitro. By using pseudotime ordering analysis, we successfully constructed the epithelium cell lineage differentiation trajectory and revealed the dynamic gene expression profiles of matrix progenitors’ commitment to the hair shaft and inner root sheath (IRS) cells. Meanwhile, intercellular communication between different cell populations was inferred based on CellChat and the priori knowledge of ligand-receptor pairs, as a result strong intercellular communication and associated signaling pathways were revealed. Besides, to clarify the molecular mechanism of wool curvature, differentially expressed genes in specific cells between straight wool and curly wool were identified and analyzed. Our findings here provide unbiased and systematic view of transcriptional organization of sheep hair follicle, reveal the differentiation and spatial signatures underlying sheep hair follicle heterogeneity and wool curvature, which will provide a valuable resource for understanding the molecular pathways involved in sheep hair follicle development.

Project description:We report the application of High throughout sequencing to explore the differences of skin between Super Merino sheep(SM) and Small Tail Han sheep, which have remarkable phenotype differences on wool and hair follicle traits. We analysed the expression data by CLC genomic workbench 9.0 software. We find there are 435 differential expressional genes (DEGs) (127 were up-regulated and 308 were down-regulated) when STH sheep as control group. Some hair follicle KRTs, KAPs genes and hair follicle stem cells marker genes, were up-regulated in SM sheep. However, some of mammalian epidermal development complex (EDC) family genes were up-regulated in STH sheep. The GO and gene network analysis shown high expression genes in SM sheep enriched on type I interferon, lipid/fatty acid synthesis metabolism. This study provide more details in skin which control the development of follicle and wool in sheep.

Project description:Sheep provide considerable materials for the animal fibre industry. Identifying genes of major effect for wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality and increasing the yield of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray and proteomic technology to investigate the gene expression patterns of body side skin (more wool growing) in Aohan fine wool sheep (a Chinese indigenous breed) in comparison with groin skin (no wool growing) at the anagen stage of wool follicle. Microarray study revealed that 4772 probes were differentially expressed, including 2071 upregulated and 2701 downregulated probes in the comparisons of body side skin versus groin skin (S/G). The microarray results were verified by means of quantitative PCR. 1099 probes were assigned to unique genes/transcripts. The number of distinct genes/transcripts (annotated) was 926, of which 352 were up-regulated and 574 were down-regulated. In S/G, 13 genes were up-regulated by more than 10-fold, while 60 genes were down-regulated by more than 10-fold. Further analysis revealed that the majority of the genes possibly related to the wool growth could be assigned into the categories including regulation of cell division, intermediate filament, cytoskeletal part and growth factor activity. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation, including fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factor-β, WNTs, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factors and so on. Proteomic analysis also got 196 differentially expressed protein points, of which 121 were identified as single protein points. Furthermore, according to the results at both mRNA and protein levels, similar regulation mechanism of gene activity might be engaged during skin development and embryo development.

One ram and two ewes of 12-month-old Aohan fine wool sheep were used in the microarray study. These animals were half sibs (sharing the same father). In August 2010, two areas of full-thickness skin were sampled from the same animal under local anaesthesia: body side skin (wool bearing) and groin skin (non-wool bearing) for microarray and proteomic experiments. The area of each sample was about 1 cm2. All samples were immediately put into collection tubes and stored in liquid nitrogen for RNA and protein extraction. A total of 15, 208 probes were spotted on this Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray (Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Project description:Once Haemonchus contortus infects sheep it receives a series of host attacks, especially those relating to the infected animal’s T lymphocytes immune response. To obtain a systematic genome-wide profiling of the T lymphocyte genes involved, microarrays were used to compare gene expression between 0 days post infection (dpi), 3-5 dpi, 25-30 dpi and 60dpi in infected sheep. In this 853, 242 and 42 differentially expressed genes were acquired in the 3d vs. 0d comparison, the 30d vs. 0d comparison and the 60d vs. 0d comparison, respectively. Gene Ontology and pathway analysis indicated that modulated genes including SUGT1, FCER1G, CD23, IL-13 and galectin-14, were mostly associated with cellular homeostasis maintaining and immune response. Haemonchus contortus infection induced gene expression in sheep T lymphocytes was measured at 0, 3, 30 and 60 days post infection. Four time-series experiments were performed at each sheep (2#, 3# and 5#).

Project description:Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) is a major economic and health concern is sheep farming. Sheep breeds such as Texel are relatively resistant to GIN than the Suffolk. With the objective to understand the underlying genetic mechanism of resistance and susceptibility at the transcriptomic level, two groups of animal from both the breed were artificially (orally) infected with 30,000 L3 larvae of prominent GIN Teladorsagia circumcincta. Subgroups of animals from each breed were slaughtered on day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 of post infection (p.i.). Transcriptomic profiling of abomasal lymph node was performed using RNA-seq. The perturbations in gene expression profiles in both the breeds were evident and Texel showed a more tightly regulated immune response than the Suffolk. The number of differentially expressed (DE) genes between the breeds was highest (437) on un-infected control (day 0) and lowest (173) on day 7 p.i.. Pathway analysis of DE genes identified 3 significant pathways, which involved only more highly expressed genes of Suffolk breed on day 0 and only more highly expressed genes of Texel (with one exception) on day 7 p.i.. The Th1, Th2 and Treg response was evident in response to GIN in Texel and was synchronized, while in Suffolk Th1 response was reduced after infection and pronounced Th2 and Treg was not evident. The study suggests maximum level of transcriptional activity in both breeds on day 7 p.i. and there was a shift of transcriptional activity from Suffolk on day 0 to Texel on day 7 p.i.. Suffolk had a reduced Th1 response with less pronounced Th2 and Treg immune response, while Texel had an active and synchronized Th1/Th2/Treg immune response in response to GIN infection. Abomasal lymph node tissue was taken from control (n=10) and experimentally infected (with T. circumcincta) lambs (n=36) from Texel and Suffolk breed on day 0, 3, 7, 14 and 21 post infection.

Project description:Haemonchus contortus is a highly pathogenic parasitic nematode of that can infect a large number of wild and domesticated ruminant species and is the most economically important parasite of sheep and goats worldwide. Although originally a tropical parasite, it has been disseminated around the world by livestock movement and can now be found as far north as the arctic circle. Adult worms are blood feeders that reside in the abomasum (stomach) and are approximately 2cm in length when mature. They are dioecious with single females typically producing several thousand eggs per day which pass out of the host in faeces and develop to infective larvae on the pasture. H. contortus is a member of the superfamily trichostrongyloidea (Strongylida) which contains most of the economically important parasitic nematodes of grazing livestock. These parasites cost the global livestock industry billions of dollars per annum in lost production and drug costs. Resistance to all the major anthelmintic classes is now common worldwide often leading to failure of treatment and control. H. contortus is a close relative of the human hookworm species and belongs to the nearest phylogenetic group of parasites to the free-living model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans . This makes it an important model of parasitic nematode biology that is commonly used for experimental studies. The main objective of this project is to recognize genes expressed in the life stages of H. contortus.This data is part of a pre-publication release.
