Metabolic study of Rumen and ileum in Yanbian cattle

ABSTRACT:

The high-concentrate feeding mode in intensive ruminant production often induces gastrointestinal dysfunction, characterized by microbial dysbiosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation, which compromise animal health and productivity. Glycerol monodecanoate (GMD), a medium-chain fatty acid derivative, has shown promise as a feed additive. However, its mechanisms of action in the ruminant gastrointestinal tract have not been fully clarified. This study investigated the mechanisms by which GMD modulates gastrointestinal health in Yanbian cattle fed a high-concentrate diet, via microbiome, metabolome, and transcriptome analyses. Thirty cattle were randomly assigned to a basal diet or a basal diet supplemented with 60 g/cattle/day GMD for 100 days.

Project description: Microplastics pollution is prevalent in livestock environments, especially in ruminant feed. Exposure to microplastics can damage the gastrointestinal barrier, alter microbiota, and lead to organ damage. Despite its impact on cattle farming and potential human health risks, the effects of microplastics on cattle remain unexplored. This study investigates microplastic-induced toxicity through the rumen microbiota-gut-liver axis in beef cattle. We found that Microplastic exposure reduced body weight gain and liver development, induced pathological changes in the liver, increased lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in both blood and muscle, and triggered systemic inflammation, particularly affecting the liver. Alterations in rumen microbiota and metabolites were associated with liver inflammation. Furthermore, microplastics damaged the rumen, jejunum, and colon barriers, resulting in microbial dysbiosis, metabolic disorders, and activation of LPS synthesis pathways. Metabolomics of rumen fluid identified key metabolites-including 4-Fluoro-3-phenoxybenzoic acid and Isovalerylglutamic acid, which correlated with inflammatory markers (LPS, TNF-α, and IL-6). Transcriptomic analysis further corroborated inflammation in blood and liver, revealing activation of NF-κB pathway primarily via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which inhibited hepatocyte proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Collectively, this study reveals that microplastics impair cattle liver function via the rumen microbiota-gut-liver axis. Microplastics disrupt the rumen microbiota, activate the LPS synthesis, and damage the intestinal barrier, allowing LPS to enter the bloodstream and subsequent liver damage. Additionally, LPS will also remain in the muscles, which to some extent exacerbates the risk of LPS in meat products to human health. Reducing the use of plastic products in animal husbandry and modulation of the rumen microbiota may provide a potential strategy to alleviate microplastic-induced hepatotoxicity.

Project description:Genomic structural variation is an important and abundant source of genetic and phenotypic variation. Here we describe the first systematic and genome-wide analysis of copy number variations (CNVs) in modern domesticated cattle using array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH), quantitative PCR (qPCR) and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The array CGH panel included 90 animals from 11 Bos taurus, 3 Bos indicus and 3 composite breeds for beef, dairy or dual purpose. We identified over 200 candidate CNV regions (CNVRs) in total and 177 within known chromosomes, which harbor or are adjacent to gains or losses. These 177 high-confidence CNVRs cover 28.1 mega bases or ~1.07% of the genome. Over 50% of the CNVRs (89/177) were found in multiple animals or breeds and analysis revealed breed-specific frequency differences and reflected aspects of the known ancestry of these cattle breeds. Selected CNVs were further validated by independent methods using qPCR and FISH. Approximately 67% of the CNVRs (119/177) completely or partially span cattle genes and 61% of the CNVRs (108/177) directly overlap with segmental duplications. The CNVRs span about 400 annotated cattle genes that are significantly enriched for specific biological functions such as immunity, lactation, reproduction and rumination. Multiple gene families, including ULBP, have gone through ruminant lineage-specific gene amplification. We detected and confirmed marked differences in their CNV frequencies across diverse breeds, indicating that some cattle CNVs are likely to arise independently in breeds and contribute to breed differences. Our results provide a valuable resource beyond microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms to explore the full dimension of genetic variability for future cattle genomic research. The custom aCGH chips that interrogated the whole genome CNVs were build for 90 cattles from diverse breeds, with Hereford L1 Dominette 01449 as refference sample.
