Defining Chicken Host Responses to Spotty Liver Disease

ABSTRACT: Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) is an acute bacterial infection of layer hens, caused by Campylobacter hepaticus, and occurs most frequently in barn-housed and free-range production systems. The disease is characterized by a sharp decline in egg production and increased mortality.The characteristic feature is the presence of 1-2 mm white to grey necrotic foci distributed across the liver surface.Despise its impact,the molecular mechanisms underlying host responses to C. hepaticus infection remain poorly understood.To address this gap, we performed a comprehensive analysis using RNA sequencing of liver tissue from naturally infected chickens compared to uninfected controls.

Campylobacter hepaticus transcriptomics revealed the genes involved in the Spotty Liver Disease (SLD) pathogenesis

Project description:Campylobacter hepaticus, the causative agent of spotty liver disease (SLD) in commercial layer hens, leads to liver necrosis, reduced egg production, and increased mortality. Despite its impact, the pathogen’s virulence mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study used high-throughput transcriptomics to analyze gene expression profiles of C. hepaticus cultured in vitro bile, infected with LMH cells, and SLD affected chicken livers (in vivo) obtained from field cases to uncover key factors involved in host adaptation and pathogenicity

Transcriptomic analysis of liver in sex-linked Dwarf and wild type chickens

Project description:The sex-linked Dwarf (SLD) recessive mutation is characterized by a significant reduction of body size in hemizygous females (30%) and homozygous males (40%). The SLD chickens of the Leghorn line are affected by a Growth Hormone (GH) resistance condition due to a missense mutation at the Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) gene causing a loss of function of the GHR. The sex-linked recessive dwarf mutation has large commercial use in maternal lines of the broiler poultry industry since these hens require less food and less housing space. The SLD chickens are also an interesting model for investigating complex traits such as energy expenditure and heat resistance for which the SLD chickens differ compared to normal size ones. In this study we performed a whole genome microarray expression profiling of liver using a 8x60K custom Agilent microarray. In total we analyzed 24 SLD and 24 wild type birds of 12 weeks of age obtained by crossing a heterozygous “dw” Leghorn cock with 12 females of an inbred Leghorn line to obtain wild type and dwarf sib and half-sib hens. The aim of the study was the fine identification of GH-inducible genes, and the characterization of the GH dependent signalling pathways.

Metformin alters liver metabolism to sustain egg production in the reproductively aging broiler breeder hen

Project description:The liver plays a critical role in avian reproduction as it is the primary site of de novo lipogenesis and yolk precursor synthesis. Broiler breeder hens, the parents of commercial broiler chickens, often experience poor reproductive efficiency primarily due to declining egg production beginning around 45 weeks of age. Metformin, an antidiabetic drug, exerts its primary effects in the liver by increasing insulin sensitivity and reducing hepatic glucose production in humans. This study aimed to characterize the liver transcriptomic profile of broiler breeder hens supplemented with metformin in the diet at 0 or 75 mg/kg body weight for 40 weeks (25-65 weeks of age; n=45 hens/treatment). Liver tissue was collected from a subset of hens (n=12 hens/treatment group) at 65 weeks of age, RNA was extracted and sequenced using next-generation sequencing. Differential gene abundance analysis revealed that metformin treatment led to the most significant changes in gene expression, with 552 genes differentially expressed compared to the control group. Further transcriptomic analysis highlighted increased expression of genes related to estrogen-stimulated yolk precursor synthesis, insulin-stimulated de novo lipogenesis, and AMPK-mediated glucose homeostasis. qPCR analysis revealed increased expression of ESR1, APOB, APOV1, VTG2, ADIPOQ, ADIPOR2 and ACACA mRNA and decreased expression of PCK1 mRNA validating the transcriptomic data. Collectively, the present study suggests that metformin supplementation supports prolonged egg production in aging broiler breeder hens by sustaining yolk precursor and fatty acid synthesis that are typically diminished in aging broiler breeder hens.
