Project description:The objectives of this study were to examine the effect of (i) dietary supplementation with n-3 PUFA and (ii) post-insemination plane of nutrition on the global transcriptome of uterine endometrial tissue, with particular focus on key genes and pathways that may affect pregnancy outcome. A total of 60 estrous-synchronised continental crossbred heifers were offered a concentrate-based diet supplemented (n-3 PUFA; n=32) or not (Control; n=28) with an n-3 PUFA-enriched product for 30 days prior to insemination. Following insemination, animals were allocated, within treatment, to one of two post insemination diets, either remaining on their existing high plane of nutrition (Control + High (n = 14); n-3 PUFA + High (n = 15)), or fed a low plane of nutrition diet (Control + Low (n = 14); n-3 PUFA + Low (n = 17)). Uterine endometrial tissue was collected, RNA isolated and gene expression analysis conducted using RNAseq. Comparison of transcript abundance across groups, highlighted a significant effect of diet on the endometrial transcriptome. The mTOR signalling pathway as well as pathways involved in early pregnancy/fertility was significantly enriched as a consequence of diet.

Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of early calf-hood nutrition on the transcriptomic profile of subcutaneous adipose in Holstein-Friesian bulls and possible downstream effects on reproduction. Holstein Friesian bull calves with a mean (±S.D.) age and bodyweight of 19 (±8.2) days and 47.5 (±5.3) kg, respectively, were assigned to either a high (n=10) or low (n=10) plane of nutrition. Calves were fed in order to achieve an overall growth rate of 1.08 and 0.5 kg/day for the high and low plane of nutrition treatments, respectively. At 126 days of age, the bulls were euthanized using an intravenous overdose of sodium pentobarbitone and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples were harvested and RNAseq analysis was performed. At the end of the trial period, there were 745 genes differentially expressed in adipose tissue of bulls on the high plane of nutrition relative to those on the low plane of nutrition (P<0.05; FDR<0.05; fold change >2.0). Plane of nutrition altered the expression of genes involved in energy production and branched chain amino acid degradation. Plane of nutrition was also found to down regulate genes such as leptin and adiponectin which are known to effect reproductive function. This study identifies some of the molecular mechanisms regulated by feeding bulls a high plane of nutrition, which may be incorporated into future breeding programmes for artificial insemination centres.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine changes in the transcriptional profile of visceral adipose tissue in heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during the early life period. From approximately 3 weeks of age (19 ± 5 days of age) Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves were offered either a high (HP, n=15) or moderate (MP, n=15) plane of nutrition to achieve target growth rates of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. After 18 weeks of differential feeding all calves were euthanized and visceral adipose tissue samples harvested from each calf. RNA was extracted and subsequently subjected to RNAseq analysis. A total of 1052 genes were identified as significantly differentially expressed between calves on the High plane of nutrition and those on the Moderate plane of nutrition. Biological pathway analysis revealed an enrichement from these genes for processes and pathways including Sirtuin signalling, oxidative phosphorylation and adipogenesis.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine alterations in the transcriptional profile of the arcuate nucleus region of the hypothalamus between heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during early life. Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves (19 ± 5 days of age, BW: 51.2 ± 7.8 kg, mean ± SD) were offered a high (HP, n=14) or moderate plane of nutrition (MP, n=15) from 3 to 21 weeks of age to achieve a target growth rate of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. At 21 weeks of age, all calves were euthanized and the arcuate nucleus region of the hypothalamus of each calf recovered. RNA was extracted transcriptional profiles examined using RNAseq. Compared with calves on the moderate plane of nutrition, a High plane of nutrition altered the expression of 80 genes within the arucate nucleus. Functional analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed functions including organismal development, behaviour, endocrine system development and function, lipid metabolism, molecular transport, small molecule biochemistry, cellular development, cellular growth and proliferation, and nervous system development and function to be affected by early life plane of nutrition in the arucate nucleus of heifer calves.

Project description:The objective of this study was to examine changes in hypothalamic gene expression of heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during early life. Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves (19 ± 5 days of age, BW: 51.2 ± 7.8 kg, mean ± SD) were offered a high (HP, n=14) or moderate plane of nutrition (MP, n=15) from 3 to 21 weeks of age to achieve a target growth rate of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. At 21 weeks of age, all calves were euthanized and the hypothalamus of each calf recovered. RNA was extracted and hypothalamic gene expression examined using RNAseq. Compared with calves on the moderate plane of nutrition, a HP of nutrition altered the expression of 39 transcripts in the hypothalamus. Biological pathway analysis revealed these differentially expressed genes to be involved in pathways including acute phase response signalling, STAT3 pathway, and tight junction signalling. Additionally, biological functions affected by early life plane of nutrition included cell-to-cell signalling and interaction, molecular transport, small molecule biochemistry, behaviour, nervous system development and function, nucleic acid metabolism, and cellular function and maintenance.

Project description:We evaluated if a higher plane of maternal nutrition during late gestation and weaning age alters the offspring’s Longissimus muscle (LM) transcriptome. A microarray analysis was performed in LM samples of early (EW) and normal weaned (NW) Angus × Simmental calves born from cows that were grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue/red clover pastures with no supplement (low plane of nutrition (LPN)), or supplemented with 2.3 kg of dried distiller’s grains with solubles and soyhulls (70% DDGS/30% soyhulls) (medium plane of nutrition (MPN)) during the last 90 days of gestation. Biopsies were harvested at 78, 187 and 354 days of age. Bioinformatics analysis highlighted that offspring transcriptome did not respond markedly to cow plane of nutrition, resulting in only 13 differentially expressed genes. However, weaning age and a high-starch diet strongly impacted the transcriptome, especially the immediate activation of the lipogenic program in EW steers. In addition, between 78 and 187 days of age, these animals had an activation of the innate immune system due presumably to macrophage infiltration in intramuscular fat. Between 187 and 354 days of age (i.e. the fattening phase), NW steers had an activation of the lipogenic transcriptome machinery, while EW steers had a clear gene transcription inhibition. The latter appears to have occurred through the epigenetic control of histone acetylases, which were down-regulated. Higher cow plane of nutrition alone affected 35 genes in the LM of steers that underscore the presence of a mechanism of macrophage infiltration likely originating from localized oxidative stress as a result of increased levels of hypoplasia and hypertrophy in LM.

A microarray analysis was performed in LM samples of early (EW) and normal weaned (NW) Angus M-CM-^W Simmental calves born from cows that were grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue/red clover pastures with no supplement (low plane of nutrition (LPN)), or supplemented with 2.3 kg of dried distillerM-bM-^@M-^Ys grains with solubles and soyhulls (70% DDGS/30% soyhulls) (medium plane of nutrition (MPN)) during the last 90 days of gestation.

Higher cow plane of nutrition alone affected 35 genes in the LM of steers that underscore the presence of a mechanism of macrophage infiltration likely originating from localized oxidative stress as a result of increased levels of hypoplasia and hypertrophy in LM. A subset of 20 Angus x Simmental beef cows from the University of Illinois Dixon Springs Agriculture Center (DSAC) in Simpson, IL, were selected from a group of animals utilized in a parallel study75. Main effects evaluated were maternal plane of nutrition during late gestation and postnatal management of the offspring. Three months prior to the projected parturition date cows were assigned to treatments (low or medium plane of nutrition) in a split-plot design. Low plane of nutrition (LPN) was achieved by grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue/red clover pastures during July, August, and September with no supplement. Medium plane of nutrition cow diet (MPN) was achieved by grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue/red clover pastures supplemented with 2.3 kg of dried distillerM-bM-^@M-^Ys grains with solubles and soyhulls (70% DDGS/30% soyhulls). Angus x Simmental steer calves were randomly assigned to early or normal weaning treatments within each gestational treatment. This allowed for 10 animals for each postnatal treatment and 5 animals of each of the interactions of gestational M-CM-^W postnatal treatments. At 78 M-BM-1 2 days postpartum, early-wean offspring were weaned, transported to Urbana Beef Unit, and adapted to a high-starch diet until they had ad libitum consumption. At 187 M-BM-1 2 days postpartum, normal-wean offspring were weaned and transported to Urbana Beef Unit. All offspring were co-mingled among treatments. LM biopsies were sampled from a subset of 5 animals per gestational M-CM-^W postnatal treatment at time of early weaning (~78 days) and at time of normal weaning (~187 days), and during the last week prior to harvest (~ 354 days). After normal weaning, all offspring were placed on a common, corn grain-based high-starch finishing diet that is typical of industry management (CP% = 18.1, NDF% = 25.3, ADF% = 14.3, crude fat % = 5.1). All the offspring in the study were harvested at a commercial packing plant when they reached the selected end point target back fat thickness of 1.1 cm. Reported final body weight (BW) was calculated from hot carcass weight using a 62% dressing percentage. In the present study, we used a transcriptome-wide bovine microarray (Agilent-015354 Bovine Oligo Microarray-4x44K) that contains 21,475 unique genes and transcripts of Bos Taurus, with two probes per gene. The methods used for hybridization and scanning were according to manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocols and Loor et al45. The microarray data were deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds) with accession number GSE-XXXX. GeneSpring GX (Agilent Technologies) was used for data visualization and preliminary data mining. Subsequently, the entire microarray data set with associated statistical P-values were imported into Ingenuity Pathways Analysis M-BM-. (IPA, www.ingenuity.com) in order to examine the number of activated and inhibited differentially expressed genes (DEG). Entrez Gene IDs were used to identify individual sequences. Data from the microarray analysis were normalized for dye and microarray effects (i.e., Lowess normalization and array centering) and used for statistical analysis. The MIXED procedure of SAS (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA) was used for statistical analysis. Fixed effects were treatment (early weaning, normal weaning), diet (low and medium cow plane of nutrition), time (78, 187, and 354 days of age), first, second and third order interactions between diet, time and treatment, and dye (Cy3, Cy5) and random effects included steer and microarray. Raw P values were adjusted using Benjamini and HochbergM-bM-^@M-^Ys false discovery rate (FDR). Bioinformatics analysis of microarray data was performed using DIA 10 and information from the freely-available online databases Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) v6.7 databases. A list of gene identifiers (Entrez Gene IDs) was uploaded all at once to extract and summarize functional annotations associated with groups of genes or with each individual gene. The significance value associated with biological processes and pathways is a measure of the likelihood that the distribution of DEG in these pathways and biological processes is due to chance. The significance is expressed as a P-value, which is calculated using the right-tailed Fisher's Exact Test and adjusted using FDR. Details of the DIA approach and its validation have been reported previously. The interpretation of the bioinformatics analysis was performed following the same approach as our previous study.

Project description:The objective of this study was to examine changes in hepatic gene expression of heifer calves offered varying planes of nutrition during early life. At approximately 3 weeks of age (19 ± 5 days of age) Angus X Holstein-Friesian heifer calves were offered a high (HP, n=15) or moderate plane of nutrition (MP, n=15) to achieve target growth rates of 1.2 kg/d and 0.5 kg/d, respectively. After 18 weeks of differential feeding all calves were euthanized and the liver of each calf recovered. RNA was extracted and subsequently subjected to RNAseq analysis. A total of 591 genes were identified as significantly differentially expressed between HP and MP calves. Differentially expressed genes were involved in biological pathways and processes including those related to metabolism (amino acid, vitamin and mineral metabolism) as well as those involved in organ growth and development.
