Project description:This study investigates the proteomic changes associated with the telogen-to-anagen transition in secondary hair follicles (SHFs) of cashmere goats. Using tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling combined with LC-MS/MS, we identified 3,654 proteins, with 458 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) between telogen and anagen phases. Key proteins such as ADAM17, SFRP1, and PPP1CA were found to play crucial roles in regulating SHF cycle transitions. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cashmere fiber growth and offer potential targets for improving cashmere production.

Project description:Secondary hair follicles (SHF) produce the thermoregulatory cashmere in goat. MiRNAs were reported playing indispensable roles in hair follicle formation and growth. However, most studies examining miRNAs related to cashmere have been performed on goat skin. It still remains obscure that which miRNAs are highly expressed in SHFs or how miRNAs affect the cashmere growth. In the present study, we isolated the SHFs under dissecting microscope and analyzed the miRNA signatures during annual cashmere growth. Small RNA sequencing followed by genome-wide expression analysis reveals that early anagen is a crucial phase for miRNA regulation on the cashmere growth, which was uncovered by two predominant groups of miRNAs. Although they exhibit opposite expression patterns, both groups demonstrated sharp changes of expression when transit from early anagen to mid-anagen. In addition, we identified 96 miRNA signatures that differentially expressed between different phases among 376 miRNAs. Functional analysis of the predicted target genes for highly expressed or differentially expressed miRNAs indicated that these miRNAs were involved in signal pathways associated with SHF development, regeneration and regression. Furthermore, miR-143-3p is preferentially expressed in SHFs and Itga6 was identified as one of targets. The dual-luciferase and in situ hybridization assay demonstrated that miR-143-3p directly repressed the expression of Itga6, suggesting a possible novel role for miR-143-3p in the cashmere growth.

Project description:we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and computational models to identify 13 skin cell types in Liaoning Cashmere Goats. We also analyzed the molecular changes by Cell Trajectory Analysis in the development process and revealed the maturation process in gene expression profile in Liaoning Cashmere Goats. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) explored hub genes in cell clusters related to cashmere formation. Secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells (SDPCs) play an important role in the growth and density of cashmere. ACTA2, a marker gene of SDPCs, was selected for immunofluorescence (IF) and western blot (WB) verification. Our results indicate that ACTA2 is mainly expressed in SDPCs, and WB results showed different expression levels. COL1A1 is a highly expressed gene in SDPCs, which was verified by IF and WB. We then selected CXCL8 of SDPCs to verify, and prove the differential expression in the coarse type and the fine type of Liaoning Cashmere Goats. Therefore, CXCL8 gene may regulate cashmere fineness. These genes may be involved in regulating the fineness of cashmere in goat secondary hair follicle dermal papilla cells, our research will provide new insights into the mechanism of cashmere growth and cashmere fineness regulation by cells.

Project description:we evaluated the Arbas Cashmere goat, a species that is especially used in this type of research. The goats were exposed to an experimentally controlled short photoperiod to study the regulation of cyclical cashmere growth. Exposure to a short photoperiod extended the anagen phase of the Cashmere goat hair follicle to increase cashmere production. Based on assessments of tissue sections, it was observed that the short photoperiod significantly induced cashmere growth. A comparison of the differences in gene expression between the short photoperiod and the natural conditions using gene chip technology supported this conclusion. Using the gene chip data, we identified genes that showed altered expression under the short photoperiod compared to natural conditions, and it was found that these genes are involved in the biological processes of hair follicle growth, structural composition of the hair follicle, and the morphogenesis of the surrounding skin appendages. Based on their similar weights, health conditions and good reproductive performance in a group of the same strain, we chose 62-year-old female adult Arbas Cashmere goats as our research specimens and randomly divided them into a test group (T1, T2, T3) and a control group (C1, C2, C3).The goats in the test group were grazed, fed, and allowed to drink from 9:30-16:30 daily, and they were housed in a dark shed with good air conditions for the rest of the time. The temperature in the shed was 1 degree less than that outside, and the opacity was controlled at approximately 0.1 lux. The control group was grazed in natural conditions. We used regular management to care for all of the goats.

Project description:Guard hair and cashmere undercoat are developed from primary and secondary hair follicle, respectively. Little is known about the gene expression differences between primary and secondary hair follicle cycling. In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from cashmere and milk goats grown at four different seasons. We studied the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the yearly hair follicle cycling, and between cashmere and milk goats. WNT, NOTCH, MAPK, BMP, TGFβ and Hedgehog signaling pathways were involved in hair follicle cycling in both cashmere and milk goat. However, Milk goat DEGs between different months were significantly more than cashmere goat DEGs, with the largest difference being identified in December. Some expression dynamics were confirmed by quantitative PCR and western blot, and immunohistochemistry. This study offers new information sources related to hair follicle cycling in milk and cashmere goats, which could be applicable to improve the wool production and quality.

Project description:Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat is a local excellent breed of cashmere and meat dual-purpose, which is a typical heterogeneous indumentum. The hair follicles cycle through periods of vigorous growth (anagen), a regression caused by apoptosis (catagen), and relative rest (telogen). At present, it is not clear which genes affect the cycle transformation of hair follicles and unclear how proteins impact the creation and expansion of hair follicles. In this work, we investigated the possible pathways of transformation and apoptosis in goat hair follicles using multi-omics joint analysis methodologies. The results showed that 917 , 1187 and 716 proteins were specifically expressed in anagen, catagen and telogen. The result of gene ontology (GO) annotation showed that differentially expressed proteins（DEPs) are in different growth cycle periods, and enriched GO items are mostly related to the transformation of cells and proteins. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment result indicated that the apoptosis process has a great impact on hair follicle's growth cycle. The results of the protein interaction network of differential proteins showed that the Ribosomal Protein family ( RPL4, RPL8, RPS16, RPS18, RPS2, RPS27A, RPS3 ) was the core protein in the network. The results of combined transcriptome and proteomics analysis showed that there were 16,34, and 26 overlapped DEGs and DEPs in the comparison of anagen VS catagen, catagen VS telogen and anagen VS telogen, of which API5 plays an important role in regulating protein and gene expression levels. We focused on API5 and Ribosomal protein and found that API5 affected the apoptosis process of hair follicles, and Ribosomal Protein was highly expressed in the resting stage of hair follicles. They are both useful as molecular marker candidate genes to study hair follicle growth and apoptosis, and they both have an essential function in the cycle transition process of hair follicles. The results of this study may provide a theoretical basis for further research on the growth and development of hair follicles in Inner Mongolian Cashmere goats.

Project description:Cashmere, also known as soft gold, is produced from secondary hair follicles in Cashmere goats and it’s therefore of significance to investigate the molecular profiles during Cashmere goat hair follicle development. However, our current understanding of the machinery underlying Cashmere goat hair follicle remains largely unexplored and researches regarding hair follicle development mainly used the mouse as a research model. To provides comprehensively understanding on the cellular heterogeneity and cell lineage cell fate decisions, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on 19,705 single cells from induction (embryonic day 60), organogenesis (embryonic day 90) and cytodifferentiation (embryonic day 120) stage fetus Cashmere goat dorsal skin. Unsupervised clustering analysis identified 16 cell clusters and their corresponding cell types were also successfully characterized. Based on cell lineage inference, we revealed detailed transcriptional gene expression profiles during dermal and epidermal lineage cell fate decisions. These works together delineate unparalleled molecular profiles of different cell populations during Cashmere goat hair follicle morphogenesis and provide a valuable resource for identifying biomarkers during Cashmere goat hair follicle development.
