Project description:The common practise of artificially rearing some lambs from prolific meat breeds of sheep constitutes a welfare issue due to increased mortality rates and negative health issues. In this multidisciplinary study, we investigated the possible short and mid-term advantages of artificially feeding fresh ewe’s milk instead of commercial milk replacer on lambs’ growth, health and welfare. Romane lambs were either separated from their mothers on D3 and fed with Lacaune ewes’ milk (LAC, n=13) or milk replacer (REP, N=15), or they were reared by their mothers (MOT, n=15). On D45, they were weaned, gathered in single sex groups until the end of the study on D150. Lamb performance and biomarkers of overall health were assessed by measuring: growth, dirtiness of the perianal area, enteric pathogens in the faeces, total antioxidant status and redox status assessed by plasma reduced (GSH)/oxidized (GSSG) glutathione ratio, and immune response after vaccination against chlamydiosis. As an exploratory approach, blood cell transcriptomic profiles were also investigated. Last, Qualitative Behaviour Assessment was performed as an integrated welfare criteria. LAC and REP never differed in their average daily gain but grew less than MOT lambs in the early suckling period and just after weaning. No effect was detected afterwards. On D30, LAC and REP lambs had lower total antioxidant and higher redox status than MOT lambs but did not differ among themselves. LAC and MOT had a cleaner perianal area than REP lambs on D21, while faecal pathogen infection did not vary between the treatment groups. After vaccination, LAC also had a stronger immune response on D90 compared to REP lambs. Transcriptome analysis performed on D150 showed differential gene expression, mainly in relation to inflammatory, immune and cell cycle response, between male lambs of the LAC group and those of the MOT and REP groups. Based on Qualitative Behaviour Assessment, LAC lambs never differed from MOT lambs in their general activity and varied from REP only on D21; REP lambs were always more agitated than MOT lambs. In conclusion, artificial milk feeding impaired early growth rate, health, and emotional state mainly during the milk feeding period and at weaning. Feeding artificially reared lambs with fresh ewe's milk partly mitigated some of the negative effects induced by milk replacer but without achieving the full benefit of being reared by the mother.

Project description:Trans-10, Cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA) causes fat loss in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte tissue culture. The early transcriptome changes were analyzed using high-density microarrays to better characterize the signaling pathways responding to t10c12 CLA. Their gene expression responses between 4 to 24 hr after treatment showed a common set of early gene expression changes indicative of an integrated stress response (ISR). Keywords: control/treatment time course

Project description:Trans-10, Cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA) causes fat loss in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocyte tissue culture; however cis-9, trans-11 CLA does not (this series). The early transcriptome changes were analyzed using high-density microarrays to better characterize the signaling pathways responding to c9t11 CLA. Their gene expression responses between 8 to 12 hr after treatment showed no gene expression changes indicative of an integrated stress response (ISR). Keywords: control/treatment time course

Project description:Trans-10, Cis-12 conjugated linoleic acid (t10c12 CLA) causes fat loss in mouse white adipose tissue (WAT). The early transcriptome changes in WAT were analyzed using high-density microarrays to better characterize the signaling pathways responding to t10c12 CLA. Their gene expression responses between 4 to 24 hr after treatment showed a common set of early gene expression changes indicative of an integrated stress response (ISR).

Project description:Weaning is a critical period in young animals and is often accompanied by immunosuppression and intestinal immune imbalance caused by stress and nutritional transition. In this study, an astragaloside IV- and glycyrrhizic acid-loaded drug-eluting suture system (A.G.-ES) was developed to improve the stability and practicality of immune-enhancing intervention, and its immunomodulatory effects after implantation at the Zusanli acupoints (ST36) were evaluated in both cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppressed mice and weaned lambs. In mice, colon histology, flow cytometry of gut-associated lymphoid tissues, proteomics, and qPCR were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms. In lambs, complete blood counts, immunoglobulin levels, and single-cell transcriptomic profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells were assessed. The results showed that A.G.-ES alleviated colonic mucus layer injury, increased goblet cell numbers and mucus secretion, and promoted restoration of the Treg/Th17 balance in immunosuppressed mice. Proteomic analysis further showed that A.G.-ES regulated key molecules related to intestinal mucosal barrier function and immune regulation. In weaned lambs, A.G.-ES increased WBC, LYM, RBC, HCT, HGB, IgM, and IgG levels and reshaped PBMC immune cell composition with enhanced T cell-related immune pathway activity. These findings indicate that ST36 implantation of A.G.-ES may improve immune function during weaning and has potential for veterinary application.
