Project description:In sheep, differences were observed regarding fat accumulation and fatty acid composition between males and females, which may impact the quality and organoleptic characteristics of the meat. The analysis of omics technologies is a relevant approach for investigating biological and genetic mechanisms associated with complex traits. Here, the perirenal tissue of six male and six female Assaf suckling lambs was evaluated using RNA sequencing.

Project description:The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the perirenal fat transcriptomes of suckling lambs from two breeds with different growth and carcass characteristics. The perirenal fat tissue from 14 suckling lambs (Assaf= 8, Churra= 6) was used for the RNA-Seq analysis. The functional enrichment analysis of the 670 highly expressed genes (>150 fragments per kilobase of exon per million fragments mapped) in the perirenal fat transcriptome of both breeds revealed that the majority of these genes were involved in energy processes. The differential expression analysis performed identified 373 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two compared breeds. In Assaf lambs, DEGs were enriched in Gene Ontology (GO) biological processes related to fatty-acid oxidation, while in Churra lambs, the majority of the significantly enriched GO terms were related to cholesterol synthesis, which suggests that upregulated DEGs in Assaf lambs are implicated in fat burning, while the Churra upregulated DEGs are linked to fat accumulation.

Project description:Samples of perirenal fat tissue from 8 Assaf breed suckling lambs. These animals were selected from a larger group of 17 Assaf suckling lambs for which carcass traits were measured. The 8 selected lambs were those showing the highest and the lowest values, from the larger group, for the percentage of perirenal and cavitary fat relative to the half carcass weight. Hence, considering the values for this trait, we defined the High-PF group (n = 4; average: 3.23 ± 0,.47) and the Low-PF group (n = 4; 1.65 ± 0,.16), respectively.

Project description:Purpose: The present study was designed to identify both differentially expressed (DE) genes and differences in proteins accumulated in the liver tissues of suckling female lambs, thus trying to identify modified metabolic pathways as a consequence of milk restriction during the suckling period. Methods: Forty Assaf lambs (average BW 4.7 kg) were penned individually, twenty of them were fed milk replacer (200 g dry matter/L) ad libitum (ADL; 192 mL/kg LBW) whereas the other group (restricted, RES) only received 120 mL/kg LBW. When they were 35 days old, four animals per group were slaughtered (8 lambs in total) and a piece of liver was excised for transcriptomic analysis. The liver transcriptome analysis was carried out using RNA sequencing methodology (RNA-seq). Results: 386 DE genes were identified by RNA-seq, 198 of them being annotated genes in the KEGG pathway. Positive values of log2-fold change (log2FC) indicated that 210 genes were up-regulated in the liver of RES relative to the ADL group, whereas negative log2FC values denoted the down-regulation of 176 genes (P < 0.05). Conclusions: According to the data obtained, a restricted milk intake during the suckling period of replacement lambs affects hepatic transcriptome and proteome associated with an altered metabolism of lipids and proteins, thus reducing feed efficiency of replacement period.

Project description:A summary of the work associated to these microarrays is the following: Diet plays a role in the development of the immune system, and polyunsaturated fatty acids can modulate the expression of a variety of genes. Human milk contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a fatty acid that seems to contribute to immune development. Indeed, recent studies carried out in our group in suckling animals have shown that the immune function is enhanced after feeding 80:20 isomer mix of c9,t11 and t10,c12 CLA, respectively. However, little work has been done on the effects of CLA on gene expression, and even less regarding immune system development in early life. With all these concepts in mind, we determined the expression profile of Mesentheric Lymph Nodes (MLN) from animals supplemented with CLA during gestation and suckling through dam’s milk (Group A) or by oral gavage (Group B), supplemented just during suckling (Group C) and control animals (Group D) with the aid of the specific GeneChip ® Rat Genome 230 2.0 (Affymettrix). Bioinformatic analyses were performed using the GeneSpring GX software package v10.0.2 and lead to the identification of 123 genes differentially expressed in all three dietary approaches. Generation of a Biological Association Network (BAN) evidenced several genes, such as connective tissue growth factor (Ctgf), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (Timp1), galanin (Gal), synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1), growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (Grb2) actin gamma 2 (Actg2) and smooth muscle alpha actin (Acta2), as highly interconnected nodes of the resulting network. Gene underexpression was confirmed by Real-Time RT-PCR. We conclude that Ctgf, Timp1, Gal and Syt1, among others, are genes modulated by CLA supplementation that may have a role on lymphoproliferation and mucosal immune responses in early life. The aim of our study was to evaluate, by using whole genome microarrays, the effects of dietary supplementation with an 80:20 isomer mix of c9,t11 and t10,c12 CLA, respectively, on Mesentheric Lymph Nodes gene expression, during gestation and/or suckling. Three experimental approaches were conducted to assess the effects of CLA supplementation on I) pups from dams fed with 1% CLA diet during the two weeks of gestation and throughout the suckling period (Group A). These pups received CLA through the dam’s milk during suckling (Total Period of CLA Supplementation (TPS) 5 wk); II) pups from dams fed with 1% CLA diet during gestation and standard diet during suckling. These pups were CLA-supplemented daily during suckling by oral gavage (TPS 5 wk) (Group B); III) pups from dams fed standard diet during gestation and suckling and receiving CLA by daily oral gavage throughout the suckling period (TPS 3 wk) (Group C). Group D, pups from dams fed standard diet throughout the study, constituted the reference diet group (TPS 0 wk). Triplicate samples were hybridized for each experimental condition (12 samples in total). The samples provided were analyzed using the specific software GeneSpring GX.

Project description:<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Dietary intervention has been reported to improve intestinal health. The intestinal microbiota of newborn animals plays a fundamental role in the development of intestinal function and the innate immune system. However, little is currently known about dietary interventions in the gut microbiota and barrier function of livestock, especially suckling Bamei piglets. To this end, we studied the effect of early dietary supplementation on intestinal bacterial communities and intestinal barrier function in piglets.</p><p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> 10 purebred Bamei sows were randomly allocated into two groups. In group one, the piglets received a supplementary milk replacer on day 7 of age, whereas the other control group was allowed sow’s milk alone. At 21 days, 18 and 17, respectively, piglets in each group of average weight were randomly selected and sacrificed. Tissue and digesta samples were collected from the jejunum to evaluate differences in the microbiome-metabolome and the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (TLR4, TNFα and IL-8) and barrier proteins (ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1). Sequencing of 16S rRNA revealed that ES improved the gut microbiome composition of Bamei suckling piglets. The relative abundances of some bacterial species such as Lactobacillales, Romboutsia, Actinobacillus, Bacteroides were significantly reduced in the ES group. Metabolomics analysis indicated that 23 compounds were enriched and 35 compounds decreased in the ES group. And correlation analysis demonstrated that some gut bacterial genera were highly correlated with altered gut microbiota-related metabolites. Meanwhile, ES of Bamei suckling piglets altered the gene expression of inflammatory cytokine and barrier protein in the jejunum.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> In summary, these results provide important insights on the relationships between jejunal microbiota and related metabolites, and jejunal barrier function during the early life of Bamei suckling piglets.</p>

Project description:Purpose: The present study was designed to identify both differentially expressed (DE) genes in the liver tissues of fattening Merino lambs and differences in metabolites accumulated in plasma, thus trying to identify modified metabolic pathways as a consequence of milk restriction during the suckling period. Methods: Twenty-four male Merino lambs were assigned to 2 different groups (n=12 per dietary treatment). The first group (ad libitum, ADL) was kept permanently with the dams whereas the other group (restricted, RES) was milk restricted. When they reached 15 kg of live body weight, all the lambs were offered the same complete pelleted diet at the same level to ensure no differences in dry matter intake. All the lambs were slaughtered with 27 kg. For transcriptomic analysis, 4 liver samples representative from each group (8 samples in total) were selected for RNA sequencing methodology (RNA-seq). Results: 38 DE annotated genes were identified by RNA-seq, with 23 DE genes being down-regulated and 15 up-regulated in the liver of RES relative to the ADL group (P < 0.10). In general, those genes and pathways involved in protein synthesis or protease inhibitors were down-regulated in the RES group, whereas those related to proteolytic degradation were up-regultated, thus suggesting a higher catabolism of proteins in these lambs. Contrarily, RES lambs showed over-expression of xenobiotic metabolism pathways, whereas those genes related to β-oxidation of fatty acids were down expressed. Conclusions: According to the data obtained, early feed restriction during the suckling period of Merino lambs promoted long-term effects on hepatic transcriptomic profile and plasma metabolic profile wich might have modified fatty acids metabolism, catabolism of proteins and detoxification of xenobiotics, thus reducing feed efficiency of fattening period.

Project description:Obesity is a risk factor for Osteoarthritis (OA), the greatest cause of disability in the US. The impact of obesity on OA is driven by systemic inflammation, now understood to be caused by an altered gut microbiome. Oligofructose, a non-digestible prebiotic fiber, can correct the obese gut microbiome, suggesting a novel approach to treat the OA of obesity. Here we report that in the obese murine gut, beneficial Bifidobacteria are lost while key proinflammatory species gain in abundance. A downstream systemic inflammatory signature culminates with accelerated knee OA. Oligofructose supplementation corrects the obese gut microbiome in part by supporting key commensal microflora, particularly Bifidobacterium pseudolongum. This leads to reduced inflammation in the colon, circulation and knee, and protection from OA. This novel recognition of a gut microbiome-OA connection sets the stage for discovery of new OA therapeutics targeting specific microbes inhabiting the intestinal space to inhibit disease pathology.

Project description:Folic acid deficiency is common worldwide and is linked to intestinal flora imbalance. The intestinal microbial utilization of folic acid based on model animals faces the challenges of repeatability and individual variability. In this study, we built an in vitro fecal slurry culture model deficient in folic acid. We examined the effects of supplementation with different forms of folic acid (5-methyltetrahydrofolate and non-reduced folic acid) on the modulation of intestinal flora. 16S rDNA gene sequencing showed alpha diversity increased after folic acid supplementation compared to fermentation samples with folic acid deficiency. In the non-reduced folic acid (FA) group, the relative abundance of the Firmicutes phylum dropped to 56.7%, whereas in the 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) supplementation group, it grew to 64.9%. Lactobacillus genera became more prevalent, reaching 22.8% and 30.8%, respectively. Additionally, Bifidobacterium and Pedioccus, two common probiotic bacteria, were in higher abundance. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) analysis showed that supplementation with folic acid (non-reduced folic acid, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) decreased acetic acid and increased the fermentation yield of isobutyric acid. The in vitro fecal slurry culture model developed in this study can be utilized as a human folic acid deficiency model for studying intestinal microbiota and demonstrated that both 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and non-reduced folic acid have effects on the regulation of intestinal microecology.
