Project description:Skatole is one of the compounds causing boar taint in meat of uncastrated male pigs. This study focuses on differences in gene expression of 50 Danish Landrace boars with high and low skatole levels. The animals were divided into 2 groups based on the skatole measurements, with animals having a skatole concentration of less than 0.01 ppm in one group, and above 0.275 ppm in the other group. Gene expression was assessed using porcine oligonucleotide microarrays. We report differential expression of CYP2E1, CYP2A13 and suggests involvement of FMO1, HSD17B13, CBR4 and several transcription factors. Gene expression study of liver, comparison of 25 boars with high and 25 boars with low skatole levels, using in-house printed porcine two-colour oligonucleotide microarrays.

Project description:We investigated the nutritional effects on gene expression in sperm cells of F0 boars from a three generation Large White pig feeding experiment. A group of experimental (E) F0 boars were fed a standard diet supplemented with high amounts of methylating micronutrients whereas a control (C) group of F0 boars received a standard diet. These differentially fed F0 boars sired F1 boars which then sired 60 F2 pigs which were investigated in a previous study. The aim of this study was to investigate if the nutrition affects gene expression in sperm cells of differentially fed boars and thus carry information in the form of RNA molecules to the next generation. Four RNA samples from sperm cells of these differentially fed boars were analyzed by RNA-Seq methodology. We found no differential RNA expression in sperm cells of the two groups based on the adjusted P-value > 0.05. Nevertheless, we performed a pathway analysis with 105 genes that differed in gene expression on the level of nominal P-value < 0.05 between the two diet groups. We found a significant number of these differentially expressed genes were enriched for the pathway maps of bacterial infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) airways, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis p.3 and cell cycle_Initiation of mitosis. The GO processes including a significant portion of differentially expressed genes were viral transcription and viral genome expression, viral infectious cycle, cellular protein localization, cellular macromolecule localization, nuclear-transcribed mRNA catabolic process and nonsense-mediated decay. In summary, the results of the pathway analysis are also inconclusive and it is concluded that RNA expression in sperm cells is not significantly affected by extensive supplementation of methylating micronutrients. Consequently, RNA molecules could not be established as epigenetic marks in this feeding experiment.

Project description:We investigated the nutritional effects on gene expression in testes of F0 boars from a three generation Large White pig feeding experiment. A group of experimental (E) F0 boars were fed a standard diet supplemented with high amounts of methylating micronutrients whereas a control (C) group of F0 boars received a standard diet. These differentially fed F0 boars sired F1 boars which then sired 60 F2 pigs which were investigated in a previous study. The aim of this project was to investigate if the nutrition affects gene expression in testis of differentially fed boars and thus impact on spermatogenesis. We found a small number of 70 genes that were differentially expressed (fc ≥ 1) on the P<0.01 significance level. The false discovery rate (FDR) was 0.82 indicating that only a small portion of these genes are real positives. Nevertheless, we performed a pathway analysis and found this moderate differential expression associated with pathways maps of development_A2B receptor: action via G-protein alpha s, cell adhesion_Tight junctions and cell adhesion_Endothelial cell contacts by junctional mechanisms. The gene ontology (GO) processes that matched the gene expression data in boars’ testes were positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process, cellular response to hormone stimulus and cellular process. The pathway maps and GO processes associated with gene expression differences do not indicate a simple relationship between nutritional influences and gene expression in testes. Nevertheless the Adenosine A2B receptor influences cell differentiation and proliferation and has thus far reaching consequences. Similar applies to those GO processes positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process, cellular response to hormone stimulus and cellular process that were associated with differentially expressed genes between the testes samples. The expression result is thus not conclusive of whether the diet affects processes related to transmittable epigenetic marks. The results, however, indicate that the extreme supplementation of methylating micronutrients from month one to month ten of age has a very moderate (if any) effect on gene expression in boar testes as measured by microarray analysis.

Gene expression in testes from differentially fed F0 boars was measured. F0 boars received either a standard diet or a standard diet supplemented with methylating micronutrients. These boars were used to study transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in a three generation pig pedigree. Therefore it was of interest if the diet affects gene expression in testes and so could impact spermatogenesis.

Project description:The male hypogonadism is closely associated with adipose tissue metabolism. Domestic pig has been a widely used experimental animal in biomedical research because of their similarity to humans in body size and other physiological/anatomical features. However, the transcriptional responses of pigs to male hypogonadism in subcutaneous adipose tissue remain unclear so far. We used microarrays to detail the transcriptional profiles of barrows and boars, and determined the gene networks regulated by castration-induced sex hormone deficiency. This study will help to provide a significant addition to knowledge about fat accumulation and lipid metabolism in hypogonadal man. The subcutaneous adipose tissue of barrows and boars were acquired at 175 d of age for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. All the fifteen pairs of full sibs were divided into six subgroups. An equal amount of total RNA from 5 boars was pooled in a subgroup, and RNA from 5 barrows in each pair of full sibs was pooled in another subgroup. Each pooled RNA sample was hybridized to a separate array. A total of 6 gene chips were used in this study, resulting in three biological duplicates.

Project description:CRISPR/Cas9 has been adapted to disrupt endogenous genes in adoptive T-lymphocyte therapy to prevent graft-versus-host disease. However, genome editing also generates prevalent deleterious structural variations (SVs), including chromosomal translocations and large deletions, raising safety concerns about reinfused T cells. Here, we dynamically monitored the progression of SVs in a mouse model of T-cell receptor (TCR)-transgenic T-cell adoptive transfer, mimicking TCR T therapeutics. Remarkably, CRISPR/Cas9-induced SVs persist and undergo clonal expansion in vivo after three weeks or even two months, evidenced by high enrichment and low junctional diversity of identified SVs post infusion. Specifically, we detected 128 expanded translocations, with 20,615 as the highest number of amplicons. The identified SVs are stochastically selected among different individuals and show an inconspicuous locus preference. Moreover, viral DNA integrations are routinely detected in edited T cells and also undergo clonal expansion as SVs do. The persistent SVs and viral DNA integrations in the infused T cells may constantly threaten genome integrity, drawing immediate attention to the safety of CRISPR/Cas9-engineered T cells mediated immunotherapy.
