Transcriptomics of the HPG axis from in vitro or in vivo-produced dairy male calves

ABSTRACT: In cattle, two of the most common technologies for embryo production are “in vivo” (MOET) or “in vitro” (IVP). IVP can sometimes impact fetal growth, resulting in large offspring, although most IVP calves are born apparently healthy. However, gene regulation changes in the organs involved in the developmental process in phenotypically normal postnatal calves are unknown and could indicate physiological programming. The objective of this study was to compare the transcriptomic modifications in organs of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal and adrenal (HPGA) axes between IVP and MOET male calves of three months of age. RNA extracted from the HPGA organs samples (n=4 per group) were sequenced through RNAseq. The raw files were subjected to a bioinformatic pipeline to determine differentially expressed genes (FDR<0.05) in IVP versus MOET samples and the KEGG pathways enriched by these genes (FDR < 0.1). Pathways related to the reproductive process (GnRH secretion in hypothalamus, GnRH signaling in pituitary and steroidogenesis in testicle) were stimulated in IVP calves, suggesting an early activation of the HPG axis in male IVP calves when compared to MOET counterparts.

Epigenomics of metabolic organs from in vitro or in vivo-produced dairy male calves

Project description:In cattle, two of the most common technologies for embryo production are “in vivo”, after multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), or “in vitro” (IVP). IVP can sometimes impact fetal growth, resulting in large offspring, although most IVP calves are born apparently healthy. However, gene regulation changes in the organs involved in the developmental process in phenotypically normal postnatal calves are unknown and could indicate physiological programming. The objective was to compare the epigenomic and transcriptomic modifications in the liver, muscle, and organs of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal and adrenal (HPGA) axes between IVP and MOET male calves of three months of age. Pregnancies were monitored until delivery. Male calves were maintained in similar conditions during the postnatal period until euthanasia at around 100 days of age. There were no differences regarding body weight at birth and growth rate among the animals in both groups at this age.

Transcriptomics of the liver and the muscle from in vitro or in vivo-produced dairy male calves

Project description:In cattle, the in vitro production (IVP) of embryos is becoming more relevant than embryos produced in vivo, i.e., after ovarian stimulation and embryo transfer (MOET). However, the effects of IVP on the developmental programming of specific organs in the postnatal calves are yet unknown. The objective of this study was to compare the hepatic and muscular transcriptomic modifications between IVP and MOET male calves of three months of age (n=4 per group). Tissue samples from liver and semitendinosus muscle were obtained at 3 months of age, and the extracted RNA was sequenced through RNAseq to determine differentially expressed genes (DEG; FDR<0.05). KEGG pathways enrichment analysis showed that DEG up-regulated in the liver and the muscle of the IVP calves were involved in oxidative phosphorylation and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In contrast, ribosome and translation were up-regulated in the liver but down-regulated in the muscle of the IVP calves compared to the MOET calves (FDR<0.05). In conclusion, our findings indicated an altered hepatic and muscular energy regulation in phenotypically normal IVP calves compared to MOET calves.

Effect of early-life plane of nutrition on the transcriptional profile of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus region in heifer calves

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine alterations in the transcriptional profile of the arcuate nucleus region of the hypothalamus between heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during early life. Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves (19 ± 5 days of age, BW: 51.2 ± 7.8 kg, mean ± SD) were offered a high (HP, n=14) or moderate plane of nutrition (MP, n=15) from 3 to 21 weeks of age to achieve a target growth rate of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. At 21 weeks of age, all calves were euthanized and the arcuate nucleus region of the hypothalamus of each calf recovered. RNA was extracted transcriptional profiles examined using RNAseq. Compared with calves on the moderate plane of nutrition, a High plane of nutrition altered the expression of 80 genes within the arucate nucleus. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed functions including organismal development, behaviour, endocrine system development and function, lipid metabolism, molecular transport, small molecule biochemistry, cellular development, cellular growth and proliferation, and nervous system development and function to be affected by early life plane of nutrition in the arucate nucleus of heifer calves.

Effect of early-life plane of nutrition on the transcriptional profile of the hypothalamus in heifer calves

Project description:The objective of this study was to examine changes in hypothalamic gene expression of heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during early life. Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves (19 ± 5 days of age, BW: 51.2 ± 7.8 kg, mean ± SD) were offered a high (HP, n=14) or moderate plane of nutrition (MP, n=15) from 3 to 21 weeks of age to achieve a target growth rate of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. At 21 weeks of age, all calves were euthanized and the hypothalamus of each calf recovered. RNA was extracted and hypothalamic gene expression examined using RNAseq. Compared with calves on the moderate plane of nutrition, a HP of nutrition altered the expression of 39 transcripts in the hypothalamus. Biological pathway analysis revealed these differentially expressed genes to be involved in pathways including acute phase response signalling, STAT3 pathway, and tight junction signalling. Additionally, biological functions affected by early life plane of nutrition included cell-to-cell signalling and interaction, molecular transport, small molecule biochemistry, behaviour, nervous system development and function, nucleic acid metabolism, and cellular function and maintenance.

Effect of maternal exposure to dioxin on the pituitary and hypothalamic expression of genes in PND70 male pups

Project description:Our previous studies have revealed that treatment of pregnant rats with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, 1 M-NM-<g/kg) at gestational day (GD) 15 reduces the pituitary synthesis of luteinizing hormone (LH) during late fetal and early postnatal period, leading to imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood. However, it remains obscure how the attenuation of pituitary LH links to sexual immaturity. To address this issue, we firstly performed a DNA microarray analysis to identify the gene(s) responsible for dioxin-induced sexual immaturity, using the pituitary and hypothalamus of male pups, at the age of postnatal day (PND)70, born from TCDD-treated dams. Among the reduced genes, we focused on gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) in the hypothalamus, because of its role in sexual behaviors suggested so far. The present study strongly suggests that maternal exposure to TCDD fixes the status of the lowered expression of GnRH in the offspring by reducing steroidogenesis at perinatal stage, and this is the mechanism for the imprinting of defects in sexual behaviors at adulthood. Total RNA was isolated from the pituitary and hypothalamus of PND70 male pups born from the dams treated with TCDD (1 M-NM-<g/kg) or vehicle at GD15, using an RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN). To identify the gene(s) the altered expression of which is fixed and linked to defects in sexual behaviors, the profile of gene expression was analyzed using the Illumina RatRef-12 Expression BeadChip. This series includes two dataset; hypothalamic and pituitary samples (each case; N=3x2). The normalization applied each dataset.

Effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of the HPT axis in Holstein-Friesian bulls

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, the anterior pituitary and the testes in Holstein-Friesian bulls and possible downstream effects on reproduction. Holstein Friesian bull calves with a mean (±S.D.) age and bodyweight of 19 (±8.2) days and 47.5 (±5.3) kg, respectively, were assigned to either a high (n=10) or low (n=10) plane of nutrition. Calves were fed in order to achieve an overall growth rate of 1.2 and 0.5 kg/day for the high and low plane of nutrition treatments, respectively. At 126 days of age, the bulls were euthanized using an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone and arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus, anterior pituitary and the parenchyma of the testes tissue samples were harvested and RNAseq analysis was performed. At the end of the trial period,

Exploring differentially expressed genes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis of estrous and anestrous primiparous sows using RNA-Seq technique

Project description:To investigate the effects of HPG axis on reproductive function and the underlying mechanisms involved, six libraries, including hypothalamic, pituitary and ovarian samples (termed A, B and C) from the sows in normal estrus and the corresponding samples (termed A1, B1 and C1) from the sows in which anestrus was caused by inactive ovaries, were constructed and sequenced to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between different HPG axises. A total of 710 (392 up and 318 down), 707 (283 up and 424 down), and 956 (635 up and 321 down) DEGs were identiﬁed in A vs. A1, B vs. B1 and C vs. C1, respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analyses showed that the DEGs were most enrichment in neuropeptide hormone activity, ovarian steroidogenesis, FoxO signaling pathway and GnRH signaling pathway etc.
