Project description:<p>Hepatic steatosis is the initial manifestation of abnormal liver functions and often leads to liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans and fatty liver syndrome in animals. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of a large chicken population consisting of 705 adult hens by combining host genome resequencing, liver transcriptome, proteome and metabolome analysis, as well as microbial 16S rRNA gene sequencing of each gut segment. The results showed the heritability (h2 = 0.25) and duodenal microbiability (m2 = 0.26) of hepatic steatosis were relatively high, indicating a large effect of host genetics and duodenal microbiota on chicken hepatic steatosis. Individuals with hepatic steatosis had low microbiota diversity and a decreased genetic potential to process triglyceride output from hepatocytes, fatty acid β-oxidation activity and resistance to fatty acid peroxidation. Furthermore, we revealed a molecular network linking host genomic variants (GGA6: 5.59-5.69 Mb), hepatic gene/protein expression (PEMT, phosphatidyl-ethanolamine N-methyltransferase), metabolite abundances (folate, S-adenosylmethionine, homocysteine, phosphatidyl-ethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine) and duodenal microbes (genus Lactobacillus) to hepatic steatosis, which could provide new insights into the regulatory mechanism of fatty liver development.</p>

Project description:In this study, RNA-Seq technology was adopted to investigate the differences in expression profiles of the hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes and the associated pathways between juvenile and laying hens. RNA-Seq analysis was carried out to estimate total RNA harvested from the liver of juvenile hens (n = 3) and laying hens (n = 3). Compared with juvenile hens, 2574 differentially expressed (DE) genes (1487 down and 1087 up) with P ⤠0.05 were obtained, and 955 of these genes were significantly DE (SDE) at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05 and fold-change ⥠2 in laying hens. There were 198 SDE novel genes (107 down-regulated and 91 up-regulated) (FDR ⤠0.05) that were obtained from the transcriptome, and most of them were highly expressed. Moreover, 332 SDE isoforms were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis showed that SDE genes were significantly associated with steroid biosynthesis, PPAR signaling pathway, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, glycerophospholipid metabolism, three amino acid pathways, and pyruvate metabolism (P ⤠0.05). The top significantly enriched GO terms included lipid biosynthesis, cholesterol and sterol metabolic, and oxidation reduction suggesting the principal lipogenesis in the liver of laying hens. This study suggests that the major changes at the level of transcriptome in laying hen liver are closely related to fat metabolism. Some highly differentially expressed uncharacterized novel genes and alternative splicing isoforms detected might also take part in lipid metabolism, though it needs investigation. Therefore, this study provides valuable information of mRNA of chicken liver, and deeper functional investigations on the mRNAs could help explore or provide new insights into molecular networks of lipid metabolism in chicken liver. The liver expression profile of juvenile hens and laying hens were generated by RNA-seq.

Project description:Ovarian follicle selection plays an important role in the reproduction of sexually mature hens, and this process can directly affect the growth and development of follicles until the final ovulation, thus affecting laying performance and fecundity of hens. In the laying hen ovary, one follicle from a cohort of 8-13 follicles of 6-8 mm in diameter is selected daily to enter the preovulatory hierarchy. In this study, we globally compared the proteomes of chicken ovarian follicles before and after follicle selection. A total of 5883 proteins were identified in the proteomes of chicken 6-8 mm prehierarchical follicles and 12-15 mm hierarchical follicles. 259 proteins are differentially expressed in 12-15 mm hierarchical follicle compared with prehierarchical follicle, of which 175 proteins are up-regulated and 84 proteins are down-regulated. The Gene Ontology enrichment of differentially expressed proteins revealed enriched GO terms for peptidase activity, acrosin binding for their molecular function and in the process of negative regulation of peptidase activity, and regulation of fertilization. The KEGG pathway analysis indicated that differentially expressed proteins were enriched for ribosome, lysine degradation, and endocytosis pathways. Nine differentially expressed proteins including vitellogenin-1 were validated with Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) analysis, and their functions were discussed. This study provided a global proteomic view of the development of chicken ovarian follicles, which will serve as a foundation for understanding the molecular signatures and pathways of follicle selection in hens.

Project description:With the improvement of people's living standards and lifestyle changes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the most common chronic liver diseases worldwide. However, few drugs are available for NAFLD, partly due to an incomplete understanding of its pathogenic mechanisms. Here, using in vivo and in vitro gain- and loss-of function approaches, we identified DKK1 as a pivotal mediator of the progression of NAFLD and its accompanying metabolic disorders in dietary obese mice. Mechanistic study reveals that DKK1 enhances the capacity of hepatocytes to uptake fatty acids through ERK-PPARγ-CD36 pathway. Moreover, DKK1 increased insulin resistance by activating the JNK signaling pathway, which in turn exacerbates disorders of hepatic lipid metabolism. These results suggest that DKK1 is a regulator of fatty acid uptake in lipid metabolism and insulin signaling, and may be a potential therapeutic candidate for NAFLD

Project description:The sex-linked Dwarf (SLD) recessive mutation is characterized by a significant reduction of body size in hemizygous females (30%) and homozygous males (40%). The SLD chickens of the Leghorn line are affected by a Growth Hormone (GH) resistance condition due to a missense mutation at the Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR) gene causing a loss of function of the GHR. The sex-linked recessive dwarf mutation has large commercial use in maternal lines of the broiler poultry industry since these hens require less food and less housing space. The SLD chickens are also an interesting model for investigating complex traits such as energy expenditure and heat resistance for which the SLD chickens differ compared to normal size ones. In this study we performed a whole genome microarray expression profiling of liver using a 8x60K custom Agilent microarray. In total we analyzed 24 SLD and 24 wild type birds of 12 weeks of age obtained by crossing a heterozygous “dw” Leghorn cock with 12 females of an inbred Leghorn line to obtain wild type and dwarf sib and half-sib hens. The aim of the study was the fine identification of GH-inducible genes, and the characterization of the GH dependent signalling pathways.

Project description:Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) participate in important bioactive regulatory processes and therefore can help elucidate the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Here, we investigate the involvement of PTMs in ketogenic diet (KD)-improved fatty liver by multi-omics and reveal a core target of lysine malonylation, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (ACC1). ACC1 protein levels and Lys1523 malonylation are significantly decreased by KD. It is discovered that a malonylation-mimic mutant in ACC1 increases its enzyme activity and stability to promote hepatic steatosis, whereas the malonylation-null mutant upregulates the ubiquitination degradation of ACC1. A customized Lys1523ACC1 malonylation antibody confirms the increased malonylation of ACC1 in the NAFLD samples. Overall, the lysine malonylation of ACC1 is attenuated by KD in NAFLD and plays an important role in promoting hepatic steatosis. Malonylation is critical for ACC1 activity and stability, highlighting the anti-malonylation effect of ACC1 as a potential strategy for treating NAFLD.
