Strain-specific differences in lactation performance of mice

ABSTRACT: The QSi5 inbred strain of mice was established from an outbred Quackenbush-Swiss strain by full-sib inbreeding and selection on the basis of increased litter size and shortened inter-litter interval in the Department of Veterinary Physiology (later REPROGEN) , University of Sydney (Holt et al., 2004). The strain has an average litter size of more than 13 pups, and females commonly nurse up to 18 pups with greater than 90% survival to weaning. Along with an increased body weight (BW), these traits are clearly indicative of enhanced lactation performance (Knight et al., 1986). Indeed lactation performance, assessed by a weigh-suckle-weigh method, was 3-fold greater in QSi5 mice than the CBA strain (Riley et al., 2006). In this study, we utilize the divergent phenotypes of QSi5 and CBA/CaH mice to identify genes associated with enhanced mammary gland capacity. Keywords: Strain differences

Transcription profiling of mouse mammary gland to identify strain-specific differences in lactation performance

Project description:The QSi5 inbred strain of mice was established from an outbred Quackenbush-Swiss strain by full-sib inbreeding and selection on the basis of increased litter size and shortened inter-litter interval in the Department of Veterinary Physiology (later REPROGEN) , University of Sydney (Holt et al., 2004).

In this study, we utilize the divergent phenotypes of QSi5 and CBA/CaH mice to identify genes associated with enhanced mammary gland capacity. Experiment Overall Design: Five replicates from each of the two strains CBA and QSi5 were used for gene expression profiling. Mice were force weaned after 9 days of first lactation and the fourth inguinal mammary glands were collected.

Expression data from mammary gland during pregnancy and lactation of CBA/CaH, QSi5 and Advanced Intercross Line (AIL; CBA/CaH X QSi5, the 14th generation)

Project description:Previously we have shown significant differences in lactation performance, mammary gland histology and expression profiles of mammary transcriptome during peak-lactation (lactation day 9; L9) between the ordinary CBA/CaH (CBA) and the superior QSi5 strains of mice. In the present study, we compared mammary gland histology between CBA and QSi5 at mid-pregnancy (pregnancy day 12; P12). We assessed lactation performance during the first 8 days of lactation of the 13th - 14th generation of the Advanced Intercross Line (AIL) (CBA X QSi5) mice. We utilized an integrative approach to analyzing mammary microarray expression profiles of CBA and QSi5 at P12 and CBA, AIL and QSi5 at L9.

Evaluation of the performance of the Arabidopsis Pathoarray 464_001: an example of detailed analysis of mutants

Project description:The Arabidopsis Pathoarray 464_001 (GPL3638) was used to compare response of wild-type, rps2-101C (Bent et al., 1994; Mindorinos et al., 1994) and ndr1-1 (Century et al., 1995) to Pseudomonas syringae strain expressing avrRpt2. The two mutants are compromised in RPS2-mediated resistance but distinct difference between them has not been described. The results suggested that ndr1-1 affects a defense signaling pathway(s) in addition to the RPS2-dependent pathway, and indicate that the microarray is a powerful tool for systems analysis of the Arabidopsis disease signaling network.

Genexpression of murine mesothelioma cell lines AC29 and AB1

Project description:RNA from two murine mesothelioma cell lines (AC29 and AB1) was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix Microarrays to compare gene expression. Both mesothelioma cell lines were established following intraperitoneal introduction of crocidolite (asbestos) fibers (Davis et al. 1992) in CBA mice (AC29 cell line), and BALB/c mice (AB1).

Mouse Mammary Gland Development

Project description:The mammary gland develops mainly postnatally, when during pregnancy the epithelium grows out into the mammary fat pad and forms a network of epithelial ducts. During pregnancy, these ducts branch and bud to form alveoli. These alveoli produce the milk during lactation. After 7 days of lactation, involution was induced by force weaning the pups. The newly formed epithelium undergoes apoptosis and is removed from the tissue by neighbouring epithelial cells. Tissue remodelling leads to a morphology resembling a gland of a pre-pregnant mouse. Microarray analysis was used to measure mRNA expression of genes during puberty, pregnancy, lactation and involution in a Balb/c mouse strain. Keywords: developmental time course

Gene expression profiles of Day 30 embryos from diet-restricted sows

Project description:In our previous sow study, two subpopulations of feed-restricted sows (60% of anticipated feed intake) were identified: ‘Restrict (Risk)’ that mobilized higher levels of body tissue stores (>40MJ ME day-1) compared to ‘Restrict (Non-Risk)’ sows (Patterson et al. Reprod. Fert. Deveopl., 2011, 23, 889-898) and although Risk sows maintain higher litter growth in the weaned litter, this was at the expense of lower embryonic weight in their subsequent litter compared with Non-Risk sows. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms involved, we investigated the gene expression profiles of embryos from Risk and Non-Risk litters in this experiment.
