Project description:Background: Skeletal muscle growth and development is highly orchestrated in gene expressions. Understanding the location-specific and breed-specific genes and pathways are agriculturally important on meat products and meat quality. In the present study, RNA-Seq was performed to elucidate the difference of muscle deposition between locations and breeds for functional genomics studies. To achieve those goals, skeletal muscle samples were collected for pectoral muscle (PM) and leg muscle (LM) of two genetically different duck breeds, Heiwu duck (H) and Peking duck (P), at embryonic 15 days. Functional genomics studies were performed in two experiments: Experiment 1 directly compared location-specific genes between PM and LM, while Experiment 2 compared the two breeds (H and P) at the same development stage (embryonic 15 days). Results: Almost 13 million clean reads was generated using Illumina technology on each library, and more than 70% reads mapped to Anas platyrhynchos breed Peking duck genome. We identified 246, 258, 20 and 54 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (log2.fold-change >0.5, and P-value <0.05) for H-PM vs H-LM, P-PM vs P-LM, H-LM vs P-LM and H-PM vs P-PM library, separately. A total of 168 genes were differentially expressed by over locations in experiment 1, while only 8 genes were differentially expressed by over breeds in experiment 2. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathways (KEGG) were used to functionally annotate DGEs. In experiment 1, DEGs mainly involved in Focal adhesion, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and ECM-receptor interaction pathways (corrected P-value<0.05). In experiment 2, DEGs only associated with ribosome signal pathway (corrected P-value<0.05). In addition, quantitative real-time PCR was employed to confirm 15 differentially expressed genes detected by RNA-Seq. Conclusions: Comparative transcript analysis of leg muscle and pectoral muscle of two duck breeds not only improves our understanding of those location-specific and breed-specific genes and pathways, but also provides some candidate molecular targets for increase muscle products and meat quality by genetic control. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of duck breed muscle transcriptomes generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and more accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA content within a cell or tissue. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions.

Project description:Purpose: To investigate the role of DNA methylation in human uterine leiomyoma tumorigenesis, we profiled genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of leiomyoma cells (LM) and adjacent normal myometrial cells (MM) treated with or without DNA methylation inhibitor 5-Aza. Methods: Primary cells were isolated from fresh uterine myometrium or leiomyoma tissue. Cells were treated with vehicle (DMSO) or 5 µM 5’-aza for 96h with medium refreshed every 24h. Genomic DNA was extracted from LM and MM cells using DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, 69504) and fragmented to 300-500bp using Covaris M220. Methylated DNA fragments were captured using the MethylCap Kit (Diagenode, C02020010). Next-generation sequencing libraries were prepared using the KAPA Hyper Prep Kit (KAPA Biosystems, KK8502) and KAPA Single-Indexed Adapter Kit (KAPA Biosystems, KK8710). Libraries were sequenced under 75bp paired-end sequencing format. Sequences were aligned to the hg19 reference genome using Bowtie2. Histone style peak calling, differential binding analysis (getDifferentialPeaks) and motif analysis were performed using Homer under default settings. Differentily methylated regions (DMRs) were detected with a fold enrichment over background tag count ≥4 and poisson enrichment p-value over background tag count <0.0001. Differential DNA methylation between MM and LM (with or without treatment) at select regions were validated through qPCR. Results: More than 100,000 methyalted regions were detected in each sample. We discovered 21,086 DMRs between MM and LM cells under basal (vehicle treated) condition. In cells treated with 5-aza, we detected 8811 DMRs between MM and LM. We compared the genomic context of DMRs identified by MethylCap-Seq with the probe distribution of the HM450 array and detected large differences between these two methods. For example, 44.23% of DMR were located in intergenic regions by MethylCap-Seq, which was drastically higher than the percentage of HM450 array probes located in intergenic regions Downstream network enrichment analysis and motif analysis indicated that DMR-associated genes and regions are crucial for the tumor progression and hormone responsiveness of LM. Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of differential DNA methyaltion profiles between MM and LM using MethylCap-seq. Our results showed a more comprehensive evaluation of DNA methyaltion landscapes of MM and LM compared with previous array based analysis. We conclude that DNA methylation plays a crucial role in hormone-dependent LM tumorigenesis.
