Project description:Purpose: Photoperiod is known to cause physiological changes in seasonal mammals, including body weight, physical activity, and reproductive status. Because cats are seasonal breeders, we recently tested the effects of day length on resting metabolic rate, voluntary physical activity, and food intake. In that study, resting metabolic rate, physical activity, and food intake to maintain body weight were greater in cats exposed to long days vs. short days. Because photoperiod has also been demonstrated to affect adipose tissue gene expression in several species, including dairy cows, sheep, and Siberian hamsters, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of day length on the adipose transcriptome profile of cats as assessed by RNA-seq. Methods: Ten healthy adult neutered male domestic shorthair cats were used in a randomized crossover design study. During two 12-wk periods, cats were exposed to either short days (8 hr light:16 hr dark) or long days (16 hr light:8 hr dark). Cats were fed a commercial diet to maintain baseline body weight. Subcutaneous adipose biopsies were collected at wk 12 of each period for RNA isolation and Illumina sequencing. Results: A total of 578 million sequences (28.9 million/sample) were generated by Illumina sequencing. Using a raw p value of P<0.005, 170 mRNA transcripts were differentially expressed between short day- and long day-housed cats. Of the 170 transcripts highlighted, 25 annotated transcripts were up-regulated, while 116 annotated transcripts were down-regulated by long days. Another 29 un-annotated transcripts (name and function not known) were also different between groups. In general, adipose tissue of long day-housed cats had greater expression of genes involved with cholesterol trafficking, fatty acid synthesis and immune function, and lower expression of genes involved with cell cycle and growth, cell development and structure, and protein processing, when compared to short day-housed cats. Subcutaneous adipose tissue mRNA profiles of healthy adult neutered male cats exposed to short days (8 hr light: 16 hr dark) or long days (16 hr light: 8 hr dark) using Illumina sequencing.

Project description:Feline hyperthyroidism (FHT) is a debilitating disease affecting >10% of elderly cats. It is generally characterised by chronic elevation of thyroid hormone in the absence of circulating TSH. Understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of FHT is currently limited. However, FHT shares clinical and histopathological similarities with human toxic multinodular goitre, which has been associated with activating mutations in TSH receptor (TSHR) and Gsα encoding genes. Using RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis of thyroid tissue from hyperthyroid and euthyroid cats, we identified differentially expressed genes and dysregulated pathways in FHT, many of which are downstream of TSHR. In addition, we detected missense variants in thyroid RNA-seq reads that alter the structure of both TSHR and Gsα. All FHT-associated mutations were absent in germline sequence from paired blood samples. Only a small number of hyperthyroid cats demonstrated TSHR variation, however all thyroids from advanced cases of FHT carried at least one missense variant affecting Gsα. The activating nature of the acquired Gsα mutations was demonstrated by increased cAMP production in vitro. These data indicate that constitutive activation of signalling downstream of TSHR is central to the TSH-independent production of thyroid hormone in FHT, offering a novel therapeutic target pathway in this common disease.

Project description:Bacillus licheniformis-fermented products (BLFP) are probiotics with antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties that can improve growth performance. This study aimed to, firstly, compare the fecal microbiota of cats with chronic diarrhea (n = 8) with that of healthy cats (n = 4) from the same household using next-generation sequencing and, secondly, evaluate the effectiveness of oral administration of BLFP in relieving clinical signs and altering the intestinal microbiota in diarrheal cats. Six out of eight cats with diarrhea showed clinical improvement after BLFP administration for 7 days, and in two cats the stool condition was normal. A higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was noted in the feces of diarrheal cats without clinical improvement as compared with those in the healthy control group and in the diarrheal cats with clinical improvement after receiving BLFP. The phylum Bacteroidetes and class Bacteroidia decreased significantly in diarrheal cats regardless of BLFP administration. Blautia spp., Ruminococcus torques, and Ruminococcus gnavus, which belong to the Clostridium cluster XIVa and have been reported as beneficial to intestinal health, increased significantly in feces after BLFP treatment. Furthermore, a significant decrease in Clostridium perfringens was noted in diarrheal cats after BLFP administration. Overall, BLFP could be a potential probiotic to relieve gastrointestinal symptoms and improve fecal microbiota in cats with chronic diarrhea.

Project description:Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease, if left untreated, caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV). Although the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of FIP remains incompletely understood, an excessive and harmful immune response appears to be a key factor. In a recent study by the same authors, 18 cats with FIP were successfully cured with oral GS-441524. The present study aimed to analyze the molecular signatures of these treated cats using next-generation RNA-sequencing on full blood samples by highlighting key immune pathways involved in disease progression, treatment response, and recovery. Therefore, samples were analyzed at three stages: untreated (d0), treated with the antiviral drug (days 2, 7, 28), and fully cured (days 168, 252, 365). Additionally, gene expression profiles were compared to those of healthy FCoV-infected control cats (n=12) and uninfected healthy control cats (n=5). Multiple tests with adjusted p-value (adj.p<0.001) were performed. Within the first few days of treatment, massive changes in the RNA signature profile were observed, with approximately 75% of expressed genes significantly differentially regulated between d0 and later time points. Notably, a strong antiviral immune response, which was dominant at the onset of the disease, was significantly downregulated within two days, accompanied by a shift in blood cell composition from monocytes and neutrophils to B cells. Our findings revealed a rapid normalization of the blood RNA signature within the first week of treatment suggesting that elimination of the virus from the blood leads to a rapid down-regulation of the damaging immune response.

Project description:Purpose: Comparison of the effect on the host immune response of feline coronavirus infection with or without feline infectious peritonitis Results: FIP was associated with higher pro-inflammatory pathway enrichment; whilst non-FIP FCoV-positive cats showed lower enrichment of humoral immunity pathways, below that of uninfected cats in the case of immunoglobulin production pathways Conclusions: Reinforces host differences in disease susceptibility in addition to any viral factors, importance of cellular vs humoral response also highlighted.
