Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to further our understanding of gene expression in the central nervous system (thalamus and cerebrum) after exposure to West Nile virus. To that end, three different analyses were performed. The first examined differences in gene expression between horses not vaccinated and exposed to WNV and normal control horses (exposure). The second examined differences in gene expression between horses not vaccinated and exposed to WNV and horses vaccinated and exposed to WNV (survival). And the third examined differences between the nonvaccinated cerebrum and nonvaccinated thalamus of horses exposed to WNV (location). Six conditions- Gene expression in the thalamus and cerebrum of three different groups of horses (Non-vaccinated horses exposed to West Nile virus, Vaccinated horses exposed to West Nile virus, normal horses not exposed to West Nile virus). Biological replicates- 6 normal cerebrums, 6 normal thalamus, 6 vaccinated and exposed cerebrums, 6 vaccinated and exposed thalamus, 6 non-vaccinated and exposed cerebrum, 6 non-vaccinated and exposed thalamus.

Project description:We undertook gene expression microarray experiments to identify genes that are differentially expressed in heaves-affected horses versus matched controls. Mediastinal (pulmonary-draining) lymph nodes were sterilely obtained from affected and control horses, dissected, and frozen at -80oC. RNA was extracted from these tissues for downstream applications. These experiments utilized a commercially available Agilent horse array that featured >43,000 probes on a 4x44k array format. Mediastinal lymph node RNA from seven heaves-affected horses was compared to matching RNA from healthy, normal control horses.

Project description:A single bout of exercise induces changes in gene expression in skeletal muscle. Regular exercise results in an adaptive response involving changes in muscle architecture and biochemistry, and is an effective way to manage and prevent common human diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disorders and type II diabetes. Our study is a transcriptome-wide analysis of skeletal muscle tissue in a large cohort of untrained Thoroughbred horses before and after a bout of high-intensity exercise and again after an extended period of training. We hypothesized that regular high-intensity exercise training primes the transcriptome for the demands of high-intensity exercise.

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to select genes potentially associated with exercise adaptation in Arabian horses. Methods: Whole transcriptome profiling of blood was performed for untrained horses and horses from which samples were collected during at 3 different periods of training procedure (T1-during intense training period - March, T2- before starts - May and T3 -after flat racing season - October). The muscle transcriptome sequencing was performed for 37 blood samples using Illumina HiScan SQ in 75 single-end cycles. The quantifying transcript abundances was made using the RSEM supported by STAR aligner. The raw reads were aligned to the Equus caballus reference genome. Differentially expressed genes in blood tissue were detected by DESeq2. The RNA-seq results were validated using by qPCR. Results: The increase of the number of DEGs between subsequent training periods has been observed and the highest amount of DEGs was detected between untrained horses (T0) and horses at the end of the racing season (T3) â 440. The comparison of transcriptome of T2 vs T3 and T0 vs T3 showed a significant advantage of up-regulated genes during long-term exercise (up-regulation of 266 and 389 DEGs in T3 period compared T2 and T0; respectively). Our results showed that the largest number of identified genes encoded transcription factors, nucleic acid binding proteins and G-protein modulators, which mainly were transcriptional activated at the last training phase (T3) . Moreover, in the T3 period the identified DEGs represented genes coded for cytoskeletal proteins including actin cytoskeletal proteins and kinases. The most abundant exercise-upregulated genes were involved in pathways important in regulating the cell cycle (PI3K-Akt signaling pathway), cell communication (cAMP-dependent pathway), proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis as well as immunity processes (Jak-STAT signaling pathway). We also observed exercise induced expression of genes related in regulation of actin cytoskeleton, gluconeogenesis (FoxO signaling pathway; Insulin signaling pathway), glycerophospholipid metabolism and calcium signaling. Conclusions: TOur results allow to identify changes in genes expression profile following training schedule in Arabian horses. Based on comparison analysis of blood transcriptomes, several exercise-regulated pathways and genes most affected by exercise were detected. We pinpointed overrepresented molecular pathways and genes essential for exercise adaptive response via maintaining of body homeostasis. The observed transcriptional activation of such gene as LPGAT1, AGPAT5, PIK3CG, GPD2, FOXN2, FOXO3, ACVR1B and ACVR2A can be a base for further research in order to identify genes potentially associated with race performance in Arabian horses. Such markers will be essential to choice the training type, and could result in differences in racing performance specific to various breeds. The blood transcriptome sequencing was performed for 37 samples collected form Arabian horses using Illumina HiScan SQ in75 single-end cycles and in 3-4 technical repetitions.repetitions.

Project description:Standardized muscular biopsies of the dorsal compartment of the gluteus medius muscle were performed in 7 horses suffering from equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) and 6 sound Norman Cob horses . Gene expression analysis was performed using an equine oligonucleotide microarray which included 384 equine gene probes of the nuclear genome and all the mitochondrial genes. All the samples of PSSM muscles were hybridized against the reference control muscles. This reference was made by pooling together all the mRNA extracted after in vitro transcription from the 6 control muscles of the sound horses. Briefly, the hybridization protocol was adapted from Le Brigand et al. (2006). An open-access long oligonucleotide microarray resource for analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes.

Project description:Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) in horses is a late onset disease that affects performance and athleticism. It is characterized by myofibrillar disarray and protein aggregation with no known cause. The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular drivers of MFM in Warmblood (WB) horses by proteomic profiling (5 MFM WB, 4 non-MFM WB) of gluteal muscle. MFM horses used in this study had a chronic history of poor performance and exercise intolerance as well as accumulation of desmin aggregates in > 4 myofibers per muscle sample. The Equine Neuromuscular Diagnostic Laboratory database at Michigan State University was queried to identify WB horses with snap frozen gluteus medius biopsies available for analysis. Non-MFM control horses were defined as horses with no history of exercise intolerance and no evidence of desmin accumulation or other histopathology in muscle biopsies. Muscle biopsy samples were obtained at rest from horses that had not undertaken strenuous exercise in the preceding 48 hours.

Project description:Synovial fluid was obtained weekly from nine horses throughout a 70-day study period and subjected to small RNA sequencing. Nine skeletally mature Standardbred trotters (seven mares and two geldings, 2.5-7 years old, weighing 397-528 kg) were included in this study. OA was surgically induced in the left middle carpal joint and the right middle carpal joint underwent sham surgery. Under arthroscopic guidance, an osteochondral fragment was created in the left middle carpal joint by chiselling off a fragment on the dorsodistal surface of the radial carpal bone using an 8 mm curved osteotome. The fragment was left adherent to the joint capsule proximally, and an incongruent defect bed of approximately 15 mm in width was created in the exposed subchondral bone between the fragment and radial carpal bone by drilling with an arthroscopic burr. Debris from the procedure was left inside the joint. Sham surgery (arthroscopy alone) was performed in the right middle carpal joint. All portals were sutured using 2-0 propylene (Surgipro, Medtronic Danmark A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). Both carpi were bandaged with sterile dressings. Bandages were changed at day 2 and removed at day 5. Sutures were removed 10 days after surgery. From 2 weeks following OA induction and onwards, horses were exercised in 2 min of trot (4.4-5.3 m/sec) , 2 min of fast trot/gallop (9 m/sec) and 2 min of trot (4.4-5.3 m/sec) 5 days a week on a treadmill. The horses were euthanized on day 71 or 72 with an overdose of pentobarbital sodium (140 mg/kg, Euthasol Vet, Dechra Veterinary Products, Uldum, Denmark). One horse, Horse 5, was euthanized according to predefined humane endpoints at day 49, as it became lame at the walk.

Project description:Background: Clenbuterol, a beta2-adrenergic receptor agonist, is used therapeutically to treat respiratory conditions in the horse. However, by virtue of its mechanism of action it has been suggested that clenbuterol may also have repartitioning affects in horses and as such the potential to affect performance. Clenbuterol decreases the percent fat and increases fat-free mass following high dose administration in combination with intense exercise in horses. In the current study, microarray analysis and real-time PCR were used to study the temporal effects of low and high dose chronic clenbuterol administration on differential gene expression of several skeletal muscle myosin heavy chains, genes involved in lipid metabolism and the β2-adrenergic receptor. The effect of clenbuterol administration on differential gene expression has not been previously reported in the horse, therefore the primary objective of the current study was to describe clenbuterol-induced temporal changes in gene expression following chronic oral administration of clenbuterol at both high and low doses. Steady state clenbuterol concentrations were achieved at approximately 50 hours post administration of the first dose for the low dose regimen and at approximately 18-19 days (10 days post administration of 3.2 μg/kg) for the escalating dosing regimen. Following chronic administration of the low dose (0.8 µg/kg BID) of clenbuterol, a total of 114 genes were differentially expressed, however, none of these changes were found to be significant following FDR adjustment of the p-values. A total of 7,093 genes were differentially expressed with 3,623 genes up regulated and 3,470 genes down regulated following chronic high dose administration. Of the genes selected for further study by real-time PCR, down-regulation of genes encoding myosin heavy chains 2 and 7, steroyl CoA desaturase and the β2-adrenergic receptor were noted. For most genes, expression levels returned towards baseline levels following cessation of drug administration. Conclusion: This study showed no evidence of modified gene expression following chronic low dose administration of clenbuterol to horses. However, following chronic administration of high doses of clenbuterol alterations were noted in transcripts encoding various myosin heavy chains, lipid metabolizing enzymes and the β2-adrenergic receptor. Five healthy horses were studied. Twenty-two of the horses received 0.8 µg/kg clenbuterol PO BID for 30 days and an additional 4 horses received 0.8 µg/kg, BID x 3 days; 1.6 µg/kg, BID x 3 days; 2.4 µg/kg, BID x 3 days; 3.2 µg/kg, BID for 21 days. Muscle biopsy samples were collected one day prior to administration of the first dose of clenbuterol and at a number of times post drug administration. A final sample was collected one-week post administration of the final dose (35 days post administration of the first dose). The tissue was transferred to a cryovial containing RNAlater (Qiagen Inc, Valencia, CA) and stored at -20° C until processed. Total RNA was purified using a miRNeasy Mini kit (RNeasy Mini, Qiagen Inc, Valencia, CA) and following the manufacturerâs instructions. Total RNA integrity was assessed using the Experion Automated Electrophoresis System (Bio-rad, Hercules, CA). Only RNA samples with RIN ⥠8 and 260/280 ratios between 1.7 and 2.1 were used. Equine specific microarrays (EquGene-1.0-st; Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), containing expression profiling of 30,559 well-characterized genes using 504,603 probes were utilized. To reduce biological noise as a result of genetic variability, each horse was analyzed separately and served as their own control for comparison of baseline samples to day 14 (low dose administration) or day 28 (escalating dose regimen). Five biological replicates per time point were tested. Purified total RNA (5 µg) was used for cDNA synthesis in accordance with the Ambion® WT Expression assay kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) manufacturerâs protocol. In vitro transcription was used to incorporate biotin labels using the GeneChip® WT Terminal Labeling system (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and samples hybridized to the Equine microarray. Arrays were washed and stained on a Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and scanned on a GeneChip Scanner 3000 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) in accordance with manufacturerâs protocols. The microarrays were evaluated for differential gene expression using Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) and for hybridization quality control using Expression Console Software (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). In brief, a total of five Cell Intensity Files were generated per time point, uploaded and normalized under the following conditions: PM (perfect match)-only as a PM intensity adjustment and the Robust Multichip Analysis (RMA) quantification method. For evaluation of the assays performance the number of differentially expressed genes detected between baseline and day 14 (low dose administration) or day 28 (escalating dose regimen) were assessed. Based on the TAC software userâs manual, genes with mean transformed ratios significantly less than -2 and larger than +2 were considered significantly regulated. A number of the significant genes were selected by filtering the genes using an ANOVA (p value < 0.05). A Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to calculate linear dependence between time point and baseline samples to evaluate the correlation coefficient, where 1 was a positive correlation and 0 was no correlation. For each probeset, expression at day 14 (low dose administration) or day 28 (escalating dose regimen) was compared to expression at baseline in the same horse using a paired t-test. Fold changes and their confidence intervals were calculated by exponentiating (base 2) the mean within-horse difference in expression for each gene and the associated t confidence intervals. P-values were adjusted for multiple testing using the False Discovery Rate (FDR) method. Analyses were conducted using the statistical software environment R, version 3.0.2 (R Core Team, 2013).

Project description:The purpose of this study was to compare the gene expression profile of recurent exercise rhabdomyolysis vs control muscles in French Trotter to determine any metabolic or structural disorder. Transcriptome analysis revealed 191 genes significantly modulated in rhabdomyolysis vs control muscles (p<0.05). Many genes involved in the fatty acid oxidation, the TCA cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain were severely down-regulated. The muscle fibers were under hypoxia and oxidative stress conditions which stimulated glycolysis. The muscle fiber calcium homeostasis was greatly affected towards an increase of cytoplasmic calcium and a depletion of the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium. Gene expression analysis revealed an alteration of the aerobic ATP synthesis with a severe mitochondrial dysfunction which could explain the disruption of the cytoplasmic calcium regulation and a muscular relaxation disorder. Total RNA was extracted from the gluteal medius and longissimus lumborum muscles after biopsies in 15 French Trotter horses including 10 controls and 5 RER horses affected by rhabdomyolysis with high plasmatic muscular enzyme activities. Gene expression analysis was performed on the muscle biopsies using a 25K oligonucleotide microarray.
