Project description:Background: Sheep are valuable resources for the animal fibre industry. Therefore, identifying genes which regulate wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent sheep gene expression microarray and proteomic technology to compare the gene expression patterns of the body side (hair-rich) and groin (hairless) skins of Aohan fine wool sheep (a Chinese indigenous breed). Results: Comparing the body side to the groin skins (S/G) of Aohan fine wool sheep, the microarray study revealed that 1494 probes were differentially expressed, including 602 more highly expressed and 892 less highly expressed probes. The microarray results were verified by means of quantitative PCR. Cluster analysis could distinguish the body side skin and the groin skin. Based on the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), 38 of the differentially expressed genes were classified into four categories, namely regulation of receptor binding, multicellular organismal process, protein binding and macromolecular complex. Proteomic study revealed that 187 protein spots showed significant (p < 0.05) differences in their respective expression levels. Among them, 46 protein entries were further identified by MALDI-TOF/MS analyses. Conclusions: Microarray analysis revealed thousands of differentially expressed genes, many of which were possibly associated with wool growth. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation. Proteomic analysis also indentified hundreds of differentially expressed proteins.

Project description:Sheep provide considerable materials for the animal fibre industry. Identifying genes of major effect for wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray and proteomic technology to investigate the gene expression patterns of body side skin between Aohan fine wool sheep and small tail Han sheep (two Chinese indigenous breed) at the anagen stage of wool follicle. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation, including fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factor-β, WNTs, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factors and so on. Furthermore, according to the results at both mRNA and protein levels, similar regulation mechanism of gene activity might be engaged during skin development and embryo development.

Project description:Sheep provide considerable materials for the animal fibre industry. Identifying genes of major effect for wool growth would offer strategies for improving the quality and increasing the yield of fine wool. In this study, we employed Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray and proteomic technology to investigate the gene expression patterns of body side skin (more wool growing) in Aohan fine wool sheep (a Chinese indigenous breed) in comparison with groin skin (no wool growing) at the anagen stage of wool follicle. Microarray study revealed that 4772 probes were differentially expressed, including 2071 upregulated and 2701 downregulated probes in the comparisons of body side skin versus groin skin (S/G). The microarray results were verified by means of quantitative PCR. 1099 probes were assigned to unique genes/transcripts. The number of distinct genes/transcripts (annotated) was 926, of which 352 were up-regulated and 574 were down-regulated. In S/G, 13 genes were up-regulated by more than 10-fold, while 60 genes were down-regulated by more than 10-fold. Further analysis revealed that the majority of the genes possibly related to the wool growth could be assigned into the categories including regulation of cell division, intermediate filament, cytoskeletal part and growth factor activity. Several potential gene families might participate in hair growth regulation, including fibroblast growth factors, transforming growth factor-β, WNTs, insulin-like growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factors and so on. Proteomic analysis also got 196 differentially expressed protein points, of which 121 were identified as single protein points. Furthermore, according to the results at both mRNA and protein levels, similar regulation mechanism of gene activity might be engaged during skin development and embryo development.

One ram and two ewes of 12-month-old Aohan fine wool sheep were used in the microarray study. These animals were half sibs (sharing the same father). In August 2010, two areas of full-thickness skin were sampled from the same animal under local anaesthesia: body side skin (wool bearing) and groin skin (non-wool bearing) for microarray and proteomic experiments. The area of each sample was about 1 cm2. All samples were immediately put into collection tubes and stored in liquid nitrogen for RNA and protein extraction. A total of 15, 208 probes were spotted on this Agilent Sheep Gene Expression Microarray (Santa Clara, CA, USA).

Project description:In this study, we performed proteomic sequencing of wool tissues from Gansu alpine fine-wool sheep of different finenesses, which were divided into two groups: the fine-wool group (Fine,F, n=4) and the superfine-wool group (Superfine,SF, n=4). The differential proteins between the two groups were screened and analysed for functional enrichment.

Project description:Chinese Merino Sheep (Junken Type) is one of the fine wool sheep breeds in China, which is famous for producing fine wool. Wool quality including fibre diameter and length is the most concerned economic indicator for producers. Growth and development of secondary hair follicles (SFs) influences the wool quality. Understanding the formation mechanism of wool quality and related key proteins can help optimize and control the production of wool. However, The mechanism by which proteins mediate the development of SFs in the sheep foetus remains elusive. Here, based on the histomorphology of the SFs among four stages of foetus development (E75, E85, E95 and E105), the differential protein profiles of skin tissues were determined in three comparison pairs of foetus development (E75 versus E85, E85 versus E95, and E95 versus E105) by TMT-Based quantitative proteomics technology. With the help of proteomics technology, a total of 238, 35 and 348 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in three comparison periods, respectively. In SFs development, focal adhesion, ECM−receptor interaction and estrogen signaling pathway, etc. played important role. COL1A1, THBS3, ITGA6, COL6A1 and THBS4 were potential candidate proteins in SF initiation. Overall, this study provided valuable proteomics data on the SFs development and a prospective understanding of the molecular mechanisms for wool quality traits in fine wool sheep.

Project description:Here, Single-cell suspensions from the wavy wool and straight wool lambskins were prepared for unbiased single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Based on UAMP analysis, we identified 19 distinct populations from 15,830 single-cell transcriptomes and delineated their cellular identity from specific gene expression profiles. Furtherly, novel marker gene was applied in identifying dermal papilla cells isolated in vitro. By using pseudotime ordering analysis, we successfully constructed the epithelium cell lineage differentiation trajectory and revealed the dynamic gene expression profiles of matrix progenitors’ commitment to the hair shaft and inner root sheath (IRS) cells. Meanwhile, intercellular communication between different cell populations was inferred based on CellChat and the priori knowledge of ligand-receptor pairs, as a result strong intercellular communication and associated signaling pathways were revealed. Besides, to clarify the molecular mechanism of wool curvature, differentially expressed genes in specific cells between straight wool and curly wool were identified and analyzed. Our findings here provide unbiased and systematic view of transcriptional organization of sheep hair follicle, reveal the differentiation and spatial signatures underlying sheep hair follicle heterogeneity and wool curvature, which will provide a valuable resource for understanding the molecular pathways involved in sheep hair follicle development.

Project description:Our objective was to investigate differences in gene expression between 24 parasite-resistant hair and 24 susceptible wool lambs to determine genetic mechanisms involved in resistance to H. contortus. Half of the animals of each breed were infected and sacrificed at 3 or 27 days post-infection; the remaining animals were uninfected controls. Breed differences in abomasum and abomasal lymph node tissue gene expression were assessed using bovine cDNA microarrays. Over 60 transcripts differed between breeds for each tissue and infection status. Genes differentially expressed between hair and wool sheep 3 days PI were assessed for gene function and mechanisms for greater immune cell infiltration, abomasal tissue repair, Th17 response, and anticoagulation were present in parasite-resistant hair sheep. By 27 days PI, hair sheep had greater expression of genes involved in gut motility, inflammatory cytokines, and cell proliferation and differentiation compared to wool sheep. Changes in these processes indicate Caribbean hair sheep have a stronger inflammatory response when infected with H. contortus which may facilitate the increased parasite resistance observed in these sheep.

Project description:We report the application of High throughout sequencing to explore the differences of skin between Super Merino sheep(SM) and Small Tail Han sheep, which have remarkable phenotype differences on wool and hair follicle traits. We analysed the expression data by CLC genomic workbench 9.0 software. We find there are 435 differential expressional genes (DEGs) (127 were up-regulated and 308 were down-regulated) when STH sheep as control group. Some hair follicle KRTs, KAPs genes and hair follicle stem cells marker genes, were up-regulated in SM sheep. However, some of mammalian epidermal development complex (EDC) family genes were up-regulated in STH sheep. The GO and gene network analysis shown high expression genes in SM sheep enriched on type I interferon, lipid/fatty acid synthesis metabolism. This study provide more details in skin which control the development of follicle and wool in sheep.
