Project description:Selective breeding in laying hens has resulted in a laying rate of approximately one egg per day during their first year. Due to variability within a flock, this rate declines after the first year, leading producers to cull hens. The aim of this study was to identify physiological and molecular differences between persistent (PL, egg-laying rate = 100%) and non-persistent layers (NPL, egg-laying rate ≤ 82%) after the first year. Forty laying hens were reared from 16 to 76 weeks of age and a subset was maintained until 96 weeks. Throughout the study, egg-laying data were recorded daily. At 76 weeks, ovarian tissue was collected from PL (n=3) and NPL (n=4) hens for RNA-sequencing. Ovarian RNA-sequencing analysis revealed 279 differentially expressed genes between PL and NPL hens and analysis predicted the estrogen receptor as an upstream regulator. A greater understanding of the physiology and molecular patterns of persistent hens could enhance production efficiency and provide insights into ovarian aging in women.

Project description:<p>Background The intestinal microbiota, metabolites, and quorum-sensing (QS) functions of laying hens under different proportions of fermented Cordyceps militaris mushroom substrate (CMMS) replacement diets are critical for their production performance and health. However, the changes in the intestinal microbiota, metabolites, and QS functions of laying hens under different proportions of fermented CMMS replacement diets, as well as their effects on laying hen production performance, remain unclear. This study evaluated the changes in production performance, apparent digestibility, digestive enzyme activity, serum immunoglobulin levels, cecal microbiota and metabolites, and QS function of laying hens under different proportions of fermented CMMS replacement diets, as well as their impact on the health of laying hens.</p><p>Results Using Hymenoptera brown egg-laying chicken as the research subject, this study aimed to determine the production performance, egg quality, apparent digestibility, digestive enzyme activity, and serum immunoglobulin levels of egg-laying chickens under different ratios of fermented CMMS replacement diets. Additionally, the study analyzed the cecal microbiome and metabolome. The dry matter, neutral detergent fiber, and phosphorus content of CMMS significantly decreased after fermentation treatment (P < 0.05). When 30% of the diet was replaced with fermented CMMS, the laying rate, average egg weight, average daily feed intake, and feed-egg ratio significantly increased (P < 0.05). Egg yolk color and Haugh unit significantly increased (P < 0.05), and lipase significantly increased (P < 0.05). When 20% of the diet was replaced with fermented CMMS, the apparent digestibility of DM, CP, ash, and NDF in laying hens significantly increased (P < 0.05), and IgA and IgM significantly increased (P < 0.05). Metagenome analysis showed that when fermented CMMS replaced 30% of the diet, the relative abundance of Phocaeicola, Alistipes, and Parabacteroides significantly increased (P < 0.05), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) level 2 pathway energy metabolism increased, and QS pseudouridine-synthase RluA family genes increased. A total of 1,529 differentially expressed metabolites were identified under different proportions of fermented CMMS replacement diets. The highest relative content was found in carboxylic acids and derivatives (21.20%), and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis were enhanced. When fermented CMMS replaced 30% of the diet, the relative abundance of Parabacteroides significantly increased (P < 0.05) and was significantly negatively correlated with tetradecanedioic acid and sebacic acid (r < 0, P < 0.001). The relative abundance of Alistipes significantly increased (P < 0.05) and was significantly positively correlated with the PemK/MazF family (r > 0, P < 0.001).</p><p>Conclusions The relationship between the microbial community in the cecum of laying hens, its metabolites, and QS function under different proportions of fermented CMMS replacement diets, as well as their regulation of production performance, apparent digestibility, and immune levels. It determined their potential impact on the metabolism and health of laying hens. The research results provide valuable insights into the potential of CMMS as an unconventional feed.</p>

Project description:Purpose: With the advent of Next-generation sequencing (NGS), several novel genes/proteins and cellular pathways in wide variety of tissues has been discovered. The aim of this study are to perform uterine transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) to determine differently expressed genes in laying and non-laying hens and to further validate the expression of candidate genes using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) in laying, non-laying and molting hens. Methods: Uterine mRNA profiles of 35-60 weeks-old laying and non-laying hens, three each, were generated with NextSeq 500 sequencer in single-end mode with a read length of 1x76 bp. Raw sequencing reads were cleaned and trimmmed with Prinseq tool and good reads were aligned against the chicken reference gemone (Galgal 5.0) in Array Studio. Differential gene expression analysis was performed by the DESeq2 algorithm as implemented in Array Studio. The genes with at least two-fold change (FC) and Benjamini and Hochberg q-value < 0.05 were called differentially expressed. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 32 million reads from layers and 28 million reads from non-layers to the chicken genome. A total of 19,152 gene transcripts were annotated from Ensembl alignment which represents 50.24% of the chicken genome assembly. Differential gene expression analysis showed 616 were differentially expressed between layer and non-layer hens. 229 DEGs were significantly up-regulated and 286 were significantly down-regulated in the laying hens when compared to the non-laying hens. Twelve candiate genes, linked to calcium remodeling, were identified by gene function analysis and validated using qPCR. MEPE, CALCB, OTOP2, STC2 and ATP2C2 were confirmed to be highly expressed in laying hens as compared to molting and non-laying hens. RNA-seq and qPCR data for relative gene expression were highly correlated (R2 =0.99). Conclusions: Our study reports the expression of four novel genes that are speculated to transport calcium ions across the uterine epithellium for eggshell mineralization. These genes can be used as quantitative basis of selecting hens with an improved eggshell quality.

Project description:In this study, RNA-Seq technology was adopted to investigate the differences in expression profiles of the hepatic lipid metabolism-related genes and the associated pathways between juvenile and laying hens. RNA-Seq analysis was carried out to estimate total RNA harvested from the liver of juvenile hens (n = 3) and laying hens (n = 3). Compared with juvenile hens, 2574 differentially expressed (DE) genes (1487 down and 1087 up) with P ⤠0.05 were obtained, and 955 of these genes were significantly DE (SDE) at a false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05 and fold-change ⥠2 in laying hens. There were 198 SDE novel genes (107 down-regulated and 91 up-regulated) (FDR ⤠0.05) that were obtained from the transcriptome, and most of them were highly expressed. Moreover, 332 SDE isoforms were identified. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment and KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway analysis showed that SDE genes were significantly associated with steroid biosynthesis, PPAR signaling pathway, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, glycerophospholipid metabolism, three amino acid pathways, and pyruvate metabolism (P ⤠0.05). The top significantly enriched GO terms included lipid biosynthesis, cholesterol and sterol metabolic, and oxidation reduction suggesting the principal lipogenesis in the liver of laying hens. This study suggests that the major changes at the level of transcriptome in laying hen liver are closely related to fat metabolism. Some highly differentially expressed uncharacterized novel genes and alternative splicing isoforms detected might also take part in lipid metabolism, though it needs investigation. Therefore, this study provides valuable information of mRNA of chicken liver, and deeper functional investigations on the mRNAs could help explore or provide new insights into molecular networks of lipid metabolism in chicken liver. The liver expression profile of juvenile hens and laying hens were generated by RNA-seq.
