Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate expression of mRNAs in many biological pathways. Here we report comprehensive miRNAs profiles by next-gen deep sequencing in Angus cattle divergently selected for residual feed intake (RFI) and identify miRNAs related to feed efficiency in beef cattle Results: Two microRNA libraries were constructed from pooled RNA extracted from livers of low and high RFI cattle, and sequenced by Illumina genome analyser. In total, 23,628,103 high quality short sequence reads were obtained and more than half of these reads were matched to the bovine genome (UMD 3.1). We identified 305 known bovine miRNAs (miRBase v.19). Bta-miR-143, bta-miR-30, bta-miR-122, bta-miR-378 and bta-let-7 were the top five most abundant miRNAs families expressed in liver, representing more than 63% of expressed miRNAs. We also identified 52 homologous miRNAs and 10 novel putative bovine-specific miRNAs, based on precursor sequence and the secondary structure and utilizing the miRBase (version 19). We compared the miRNAs profile between high and low RFI animals and ranked the most differentially expressed bovine known miRNAs. Bovine miR-143 was the most abundant miRNA in the bovine liver and comprised 20% of total expressed mapped miRNAs. The most highly expressed miRNA in liver of mice and humans, miR-122, was the third most abundant in our cattle liver samples. We also identified 10 putative novel bovine-specific miRNA candidates. Differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI cattle were identified with 18 miRNAs being up-regulated and 7 other miRNAs down-regulated in low RFI cattle Conclusions: Our study has identified comprehensive miRNAs expressed in bovine liver. Some of the expressed miRNAs are novel in cattle. The differentially expressed miRNAs between high and low RFI give some insights into liver miRNAs regulating physiological pathways underlying residual feed intake in bovine

Project description:Fatty liver disease is prevalent during parturition in dairy cattle. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel, sensitive biomarkers for the early diagnosis of the metabolic disorders. Macroproteomics revealed that the fecal microbial community changes significantly when animal develops fatty liver disease. The microbial changes in cows with severe fatty liver (SFL) were greater than cows with moderate fatty liver (MFL) and normal condition (Norm). This suggests that microorganisms play an important role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders. In this study, feces-sourced microorganisms and microbial proteins were identified and testified as novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of fatty liver disease in cattle. For example, the AUC (area under curve) values, based on Receiver Operating Characteristics analysis, of using the combination of Lachnoanaerobaculum and Bifidobacterium (at the genus level) to discriminate MFL and SFL animals reached 0.944 and 0.867, respectively. and 0.922 and 0.985, respectively, for the combination of Bifidobacterium pseudolongum and Lachnospiraceae bacterium (at the species level). Interestingly, the differentially expressed microbial proteins are closely related to the identified microorganisms. For example, the majority of the top 20 microbial proteins with significant expression differences were derived from Bifidobacterium pseudolongum. Bifidobacterium pseudolongum was considered a prominent potential biomarker for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders, especially in fatty liver cattle. The results of this study confirm that microbial signatures have a causal contribution to the pathophysiological mechanism of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but also shed light on fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) experiments in treating NAFLD.

Project description:Here we have compared adult wildtype (N2) C. elegans gene expression when grown on different bacterial environments/fod sources in an effort to model naturally occuring nematode-bacteria interactions at the Konza Prairie. We hypothesize that human-induced changes to natural environments, such as the addition of nitrogen fertalizer, have effects on the bacterial community in soils and this drives downstream changes in the structure on soil bacterial-feeding nematode community structure. Here we have used transcriptional profiling to identify candidate genes involved in the interaction of nematodes and bacteria in nature.

Project description:Understanding the bacterial community structure, and their functional analysis for active bioremediation process is essential to design better and cost effective strategies. Microarray analysis enables us to simultaneously study the functional and phylogenetic markers of hundreds of microorganisms which are involved in active bioremediation process in an environment. We have previously described development of a hybrid 60-mer multibacterial microarray platform (BiodegPhyloChip) for profiling the bacterial communities and functional genes simultaneously in environments undergoing active bioremediation process (Pathak et al; Appl Microbiol Biotechnol,Vol. 90, 1739-1754). The present study involved profiling the status of bacterial communities and functional (biodegradation) genes using the developed 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray BiodegPhyloChip at five contaminated hotspots in the state of Gujarat, in western India. The expression pattern of functional genes (coding for key enzymes in active bioremediation process) at these sites was studied to understand the dynamics of biodegradation in the presence of diverse group of chemicals. The results indicated that the nature of pollutants and their abundance greatly influence the structure of bacterial communities and the extent of expression of genes involved in various biodegradation pathways. In addition, site specific factors also play a pivotal role to affect the microbial community structure as was evident from results of 16S rRNA gene profiling of the five contaminated sites, where the community structure varied from one site to another drastically.

Project description:High yielding dairy cattle undergo a state of NEB (negative energy balance) during the post-partum period when energy demand for lactation and maintenance exceeds energy intake. During this period in order to counteract NEB the liver under goes extensive metabolic and physiological change resulting in alteration in hepatic genes and miRNAs expression. We used Affymetrix Multispecies miRNA-2_0 Array with miRBase version 15 coverage to assess the liver miRNA expression in SNEB (severe NEB) and MNEB (mild NEB) Holstein Friesian cattle during the post-partum period.
