Project description:Global studies of microbial diversity

Project description:The gut microbiota is closely associated with digestion, metabolism, immunity, and host health. The imbalance of the microbial community in livestock directly affects their well-being and, consequently, productivity. The composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are influenced not only by host genetics but also by environmental factors such as the microbial complexity of the rearing environment, feeds, and antibiotics. Here, we focus on the comparison of gut microbial communities in miniature pigs developed for xenotransplantation in specific pathogen-free (SPF) and conventional (non-SPF) facilities. To identify the disparities in gut microbial composition and functionality between these two environments, 16S RNA metagenome sequencing was conducted using fecal samples. The results revealed that the non-SPF pigs had higher gut microbiota diversity than the SPF pigs. The genera Streptococcus and Ruminococcus were more abundant in SPF pigs than in non-SPF pigs. Blautia, Bacteroides, and Roseburia were exclusively observed in SPF pigs, whereas Prevotella was exclusively found in non-SPF pigs. Carbohydrate and nucleotide metabolism, as well as environmental information processing, were predicted to be enriched in SPF pigs. In addition, energy and lipid metabolism, along with processes related to genetic information, cellular communication, and diseases, were predicted to be enriched in non-SPF pigs. This study makes an important contribution to elucidating the impact of environments harboring a variety of microorganisms, including pathogens, on the gut microbiota of miniature pigs. Furthermore, we sought to provide foundational data on the characteristics of the gut microbiota in genetically modified pigs, which serve as source animals for xenotransplantation.

Project description:Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is the determining factor for meat taste. To reveal the genetic basis of IMF content, genetic studies have made some progress in lean-type pig breeds, but fewer studies have been conducted in Chinese fat-type pigs. The Luchuan pig is a fat-type local breed in southern China that is famous for its desirable meat quality. In the present study, we measured the IMF content for 265 crossed pigs of Duroc x Luchuan pigs, from which individuals with extremely high (6.03% ± 0.58%, n = 12) and low (1.67% ± 0.42%, n = 12) IMF contents were selected to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to IMF content in the longissimus dorsi. RNA sequencing for 24 samples in total identified 312 differentially expressed transcripts that were significantly enriched in triglyceride biosynthesis- and metabolism-related processes (p-value ≤ 0.05 and fold change ≥ 1.5). Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the PPAR signaling pathway was the most significantly enriched pathway (p-value = 0.024, represented by ADIPOQ, FABP3, FABP4, LPL, PLIN4 and SCD). When a more stringent condition was applied (gene-based q-value ≤ 0.2 and fold change ≥ 1.5), only 17 transcripts remained to be differentially expressed, including LEP, ATP6V1F, SDR16C5, TUSC5, MPZ, PRX, PTPN4, BEX1, MVB12B, ZFP62, P4HA2, IDH2, THOC7, KRT14, FCGRT, MYPN and LPL. Among these DEGs, TUSC5 was significantly upregulated in the group of high IMF contents (log2FC = 1.114, p-value = 3.02E-5) and was suspected as a strong new candidate gene affecting porcine IMF content since it was the target gene of PPAR-gamma. The present study provided new data and candidate genes for the genetic study of porcine IMF content.
