Project description:While genetic markers related to meat production traits have been identified in many other breeds of cattle, research on weight in Hanwoo cattle (Korean native cattle) has been relatively limited. In this study, we performed expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and differential gene expression analysis to detect candidate genes influencing the weight characteristics of 32 castrated Hanwoo cattle across 22 tissues and identify variants that affect gene expression levels. In total, we identified a total of 2,465 differentially expressed genes, among which we discovered key genes such as UBD, RGS2, FASN, and SCD that have functions related to adipogenesis, body weight, obesity, and lipid metabolism. Gene-set enrichment analysis revealed that candidate genes in adipose tissue are involved in metabolic pathways related to Obesity-related traits, adipose metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Additionally, we found that decreased expression of TRIM31 contributes to weight gain which can be explained by the associated candidate cis-eQTL genotypes for TRIM31 and their effect on differential gene expression between the lower and higher weight groups. Our findings revealed candidate genes associated with the weight of Hanwoo cattle and perhaps can provide comprehensive insights into the association of weight with various tissues beyond adipose tissue and muscle, indicating the potential for expanding the focus of livestock trait research.

Project description:The intramuscular fat (IMF) content of different beef cattle breeds varies greatly, which plays an important role in taste and nutritional value. However, the molecular mechanism of fat metabolism and deposition in beef cattle is still not very clear. In this study, the meat quality traits of Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle were compared, the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) between Angus cattle and Chinese Simmental cattle was then analyzed to identify key genes related to fat metabolism and adipogenesis by high-throughput RNA-seq technology. In the current study conducted a comprehensive analysis on the transcriptome of the longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) of Angus and Simmental cattle, and identified differentially expressed genes related to lipid metabolism，which may have a great impact on on the formation of IMF.

Project description:The biological mechanisms associated with the residual feed intake in ruminants have been harnessed immensely via transcriptome analysis of liver and ruminal epithelium, however, this concept has not been fully explored using whole blood. We applied whole blood transcriptome analysis and gene set enrichment analysis to identify key pathways associated with divergent selection for low or high RFI in beef cattle. A group of 56 crossbred beef steers (average BW = 261.3 ± 18.5 kg) were adapted to a high-forage total mixed ration in a confinement dry lot equipped with GrowSafe intake nodes for period of 49 d to determine their residual feed intake (RFI). After RFI determination, weekly whole blood samples were collected three times from beef steers with the lowest RFI (most efficient; low-RFI; n = 8) and highest RFI (least efficient; high-RFI; n = 8). Prior to RNA extraction, whole blood samples collected were composited for each steer. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq2000 equipped with a P3 flow. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to analyze differentially expressed gene sets and pathways between the two groups of steers. Results of GSEA revealed pathways associated with metabolism of proteins, cellular responses to external stimuli, stress, and heat stress were differentially inhibited (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05) in high-RFI compared to low-RFI beef cattle, while pathways associated with binding and uptake of ligands by scavenger receptors, scavenging of heme from plasma, and erythrocytes release/take up oxygen were differentially enriched (FDR < 0.05) in high-RFI, relative to low-RFI beef cattle. Taken together, our results revealed that beef steers divergently selected for low or high RFI revealed differential expressions of genes related to protein metabolism and stress responsiveness.

Project description:In the present study, a oligonucleotide microarray platform is used to compare expression profiles of beef cattle muscle in animals treated with either Dexamethazone (Dex) or Dexamethazone plus 17β-estradiol (Estr) administered at sub-therapeutic dosage, against untreated controls. Seventeen male beef cattle 15-18 months old, around 450 kg mean body weight were randomly allocated in three groups: 6 were untreated (group Ctrl), 5 were administered with dexamethazone via feed 0.75mg/head for 43 days (group D); the last 6 animals were administered via feed for 43 days with Dex (0.75mg/head) and intramuscularly (i.m.) for three times with 17β-oestradiol, 20mg/head, (group DE). Three additional control animals, matching in sex and age, collected in a previous experiment were included in the Ctrl group to increase sample size and to control for biological variation. For each sample, total RNA was extracted from a specific anterior limb muscle (biceps branchii). Data analysis demonstrates that the expression profiles were strongly affected by Dex treatment with hundreds of genes up-regulated with relevant fold-change, whereas the myostatin gene was significantly down-regulated. On the contrary, the administration of Dex-Estr reveals a weaker effect on gene expression.

Project description:This objective of this study was to identify gene expression and biological mechanisms related to trace mineral metabolism, central to inflammatory mediation and disease development, through the evaluation of the whole blood transcriptome in post‐weaned cattle receiving different mineral treatments. Here, 56 high‐risk cross-bred beef cattle (~250 kg) were assigned to receive ad libitum access to supplements containing 1 of 3 treatments over a 60-day period: 1) sulfate sources of Cu, Co, Mn, and Zn in feed (INR; custom blend; n= 40); 2) organic complexed source of Cu, Mn, Co, and Zn in feed (AAC; Availa4; n = 40); or 3) organic complexed source of Cu, Mn, Co, and Zn in feed and administration of a drench product [ProFusion] upon arrival (COMBO; n = 40). Whole blood RNA from 26 cattle (~4 calves/pen) were matched and utilized to assess the host transcriptome at days 0, 13, 28, 45, and 60 for the assessment of host transcriptome responses over time.

Project description:The selection of cattle with high feed efficiency is of paramount importance with regard to reducing feed costs in the beef industry. Developing predictive biological markers specifically for improved feed efficiency is an attractive alternative to direct measurement on large numbers of animals.Evidence is provided that, effects of RFI on gene expression in muscle of beef cattle are not consistent across breed type or dietary phase. These novel observations challenge the practicality of selecting and breeding for low RFI animals across different diets and stages of development. Perhaps, future research should be directed at utilising different diets to harness the full genetic potential of animal based on breed or stage of maturity. Further to this, evidence is provided from our own work and that of others that less efficient HF steers consuming zero grazed grass are under increased stress as demonstrated by an upregulation of immune function in these animals.

Project description:To identify transcriptional markers for beef traits related to meat tenderness and moisture, we measured the transcriptome of the Longissimus dorsi skeletal muscle in 10 Korean native cattle (KNC). We analyzed the correlation between the beef transcriptome and measurements of four different beef traits, shear force (SF), water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), and loin eye area (LEA). We obtained non-overlapping and unique panels of genes showing strong correlations (|r| > 0.8) with SF, WHC, CL, and LEA, respectively. Functional studies of these genes indicated that SF was mainly related to energy metabolism, and LEA to rRNA processing. Interestingly, our data suggested that WHC is influenced by protein metabolism. Overall, the skeletal muscle transcriptome pointed to the importance of energy and protein metabolism in determining meat quality after the aging process. The panels of transcripts for beef traits may be useful for predicting meat tenderness and moisture. Experiment Overall Design: Gene expression profiles were correlated with beef traits measured at the same cattle.

Project description:The posttranscriptional gene regulation mediated by microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in various species. Recently, a large number of miRNAs and their expression patterns have been identified. However, to date, limited miRNAs have been reported to modulate adipogenesis and lipid deposition in beef cattle. Total RNAs from Chinese Qinchuan bovine backfat at fetal and adult stages were used to construct small RNA libraries for Illumina next-generation sequencing. A total of 13,915,411 clean reads were obtained from a fetal library and 14,244,946 clean reads from an adult library. In total, 475 known and 36 novel miRNA candidates from backfat were identified. The nucleotide bias, base editing, and family of the known miRNAs were also analyzed. Based on stem-loop qPCR, 15 specific miRNAs were detected, and the results showed that bta-miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 were highly expressed in backfat tissue, suggesting these small RNAs play a role in the development and maintenance of bovine subcutaneous fat tissue. Putative targets for miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 were predicted, and the 61 most significant target transcripts were related to lipid and fatty acid metabolism. Of interest, the canonical pathway and gene networks analyses revealed that PPARα/RXRα activation and LXR/RXR activation were important components of the gene interaction hierarchy results. In the present study, we explored the backfat miRNAome differences between cattle of different developmental stages, expanding the expression repertoire of bovine miRNAs that could contribute to further studies on the fat development of cattle. The expression analysis of the differential target genes of miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 showed potential gene networks that affect lipid and fatty acid metabolism. These results may help in the design of new intervention strategies to improve beef quality. Examination of Chinese Qinchuan bovine backfat miRNAs by deep sequencing.

Project description:In the present study, a oligonucleotide microarray platform is used to compare expression profiles of beef cattle muscle in animals treated with either Dexamethazone (Dex) or Dexamethazone plus 17?-estradiol (Estr) administered at sub-therapeutic dosage, against untreated controls. Seventeen male beef cattle 15-18 months old, around 450 kg mean body weight were randomly allocated in three groups: 6 were untreated (group Ctrl), 5 were administered with dexamethazone via feed 0.75mg/head for 43 days (group D); the last 6 animals were administered via feed for 43 days with Dex (0.75mg/head) and intramuscularly (i.m.) for three times with 17?-oestradiol, 20mg/head, (group DE). Three additional control animals, matching in sex and age, collected in a previous experiment were included in the Ctrl group to increase sample size and to control for biological variation. For each sample, total RNA was extracted from a specific anterior limb muscle (biceps branchii). Data analysis demonstrates that the expression profiles were strongly affected by Dex treatment with hundreds of genes up-regulated with relevant fold-change, whereas the myostatin gene was significantly down-regulated. On the contrary, the administration of Dex-Estr reveals a weaker effect on gene expression. In this study, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 20 anterior limb muscle samples, 9 collected from untreated controls, 5 collected from cattle treated with Dex and 6 from cattle treated with Dex+Estr using Agilent-015354 Bovine oligo microarray platform (20 arrays, no replicate) based on single-colour detection (Cyanine-3 only). Microarrays are scanned with Agilent scanner G2565BA (barcode on the left, DNA on the back surface, scanned through the glass) at a resolution of 5 microns; all slides are scanned twice at two different sensitivity settings (XDRHi 100% and XDRLo 10%); the scanner software creates a unique ID for each pair of XDR scans and saves it to both scan image files. Feature Extraction 9.5 uses XDR ID to link the pairs of scans together automatically when extracting data. The signal left after all the FE processing steps have been completed is ProcessedSignal that contains the Multiplicatively Detrended, Background-Subtracted Signal
