Project description:Fat deposition is a prominent economic trait and complex process in pigs. Ningxiang pig, one of the four famous indigenous breeds in China, is characterized by high fat content. The underlying gene expression pattern in different developmental periods of backfat tissue remains unclear, and the purpose of this investigation is to explore the potential molecular regulators of backfat tissue development in Ningxiang pigs. Histological analysis of backfat tissue showed that adipocyte area increased and adipocyte number decreased with the development of backfat tissue in different stages (60d, 120d, 180d, 240d, 300d, and 360d). Meanwhile, a total of 1024 differentially expressed genes were identified in five comparison groups (120d vs 60d, 180d vs 120d, 240d vs 180d, 300d vs 240d, and 360d vs 300d). And then strongly co-expressed genes in modules were clustered by Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Among these modules, turquoise, red, pink, paleturquoise, darkorange, and darkgreen module had close correlation with 60d, 120d, 180d, 240d, 300d, and 360d developmental stage, respectively, while tan, black and turquoise module had intimate relation with backfat thickness, adipocyte area and adipocyte number, respectively. Furthermore, GO and KEGG enrichment were analyzed in each module, the gene co-expression network was constructed, and the hub genes were described. According to the co-expression network, 13 genes (ACSL1, ACOX1, FN1, DCN, CHST13, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL6A3, COL5A1, COL14A1, OAZ3, DNM1, and SELP) were recognized as hub genes. Further analysis revealed that ACSL1 and ACOX1 might perform considerable function in early developmental stage of backfat tissue before 60d. FN1, DCN, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL5A1, COL6A3, and COL14A1 have unignorable position around 120d developmental stage. Besides, the functional relevance associated with SELP and backfat thickness, DNM1 and adipocyte area needs to be elucidated. In addition, QCR analysis validated the strong consistency of genes expressions with RNA-seq data, manifesting the reliability and accuracy of our study. The present research preliminarily depicted the gene co-expression network for each period of backfat developmental stage in Ningxiang pigs, which not only help to understand the integrated mechanism underlying backfat tissue development and lipid metabolism, but also promotes the progress of genetic improvement in pigs.

Project description:Fat deposition is an economically important trait in pigs. Ningxiang pig, one of the four famous indigenous breeds in China, is characterized by high fat content. The underlying gene expression pattern in different developmental periods of backfat tissue remains unclear, and the purpose of this investigation is to explore the potential molecular regulators of backfat tissue development in Ningxiang pigs. Backfat tissue (three samples for each stage) was initially collected from different developmental stages (60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 days after birth), and histological analysis and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) were then conducted. Fragments per kilobase of transcript per million (FPKM) method was used to qualify gene expressions, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Furthermore, strongly co-expressed genes in modules, which were named by color, were clustered by Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) based on dynamic tree cutting algorithm. Gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment were subsequently implemented, and hub genes were described in each module. Finally, QPCR analysis was employed to validate RNA-seq data. The results showed that adipocyte area increased and adipocyte number decreased with development of backfat tissue. A total of 1,024 DEGs were identified in five comparison groups (120 days vs. 60 days, 180 days vs. 120 days, 240 days vs. 180 days, 300 days vs. 240 days, and 360 days vs. 300 days). The turquoise, red, pink, paleturquoise, darkorange, and darkgreen module had the highest correlation coefficient with 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 days developmental stage, while the tan, black and turquoise module had strong relationship with backfat thickness, adipocyte area, and adipocyte number, respectively. Thirteen hub genes (ACSL1, ACOX1, FN1, DCN, CHST13, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL6A3, COL5A1, COL14A1, OAZ3, DNM1, and SELP) were recognized. ACSL1 and ACOX1 might perform function in the early developmental stage of backfat tissue (60 days), and FN1, DCN, COL1A1, COL1A2, COL5A1, COL6A3, and COL14A1 have unignorable position in backfat tissue around 120 days developmental stage. Besides, hub genes SELP and DNM1 in modules significantly associated with backfat thickness and adipocyte area might be involved in the process of backfat tissue development. These findings contribute to understand the integrated mechanism underlying backfat tissue development and promote the progress of genetic improvement in Ningxiang pigs.

Project description:we comprehensively analyzed the whole transcriptome of the spleen from three important developmental nodes(30d, 90d and 210d) of Ningxiang pig (a Chinese indigenous breed). A total of 812, 364 and 865 differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, 98, 37 and 97 DE miRNAs, 278, 220 and 271 DE lncRNAs, and 113, 96 and 96 DE circRNAs were identified between 90d and 30d, 210d and 30d, and 210d and 90d, respectively. And their molecular characterization, spatio temporal expression pattern, potential function and interaction with miRNAs were analyzed. Additionally, co-expression network analysis identified the potential non coding RNAs(ncRNAs) related to immunomodulation, e.g., ssc-miRNA-150, ssc-miRNA-497, MSTRG.24160, MSTRG.18646. Furthermore, our results also revealed that miRNAs and circRNAs may have evolved to regulate a large set of biological processes of Ningxiang pigs spleens, and circRNAs may play the role of miRNA sponges. Our study provides new insights into the expression changes of RNAs during the spleen development process of Chinese indigenous breed Ningxiang pigs, which might contribute to the phenotypic formation of immune function in Chinese native pig breeds. These results greatly improved our understanding of the molecular mechanisms which regulate the immune function of the spleen of Ningxiang pigs.

Project description:Purpose: Analysis of the effect of different fats and amonut of cDDGS in the feedstuff on miRNA expression in porcine backfat Methods: miRNA-seq analysis was performed on backfat samples collected from 24 male and female crossbred fatteners originating from sows (Polish Landrace × White Large Polish) mated with a boar (Duroc × Pietrain) divided into four dietary groups: 7-cDDGS+rapeseed oil (group I), n=6 (+cDDGS+rapeseed oil -group II), n= 6 (+cDDGS+beeftallow -group III),n=5 (+cDDGS+coconut oil -group IV). The miRNA libraries were constructed from total RNA using NEBNext Multiplex Small RNA Library Prep Set for Illumina (New England Biolabs) according to the manufacturer protocol. The quantification of the obtained libraries was performed on a Qubit 2.0 spectrophotometer (Invitrogen, Life Technologies), while a quality control on a TapeStation 2200 instrument (D1000 ScreenTape; Agilent). 100 single-end cycle sequencing was performed on the HiScanSQ platform (Illumina) with the use of TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v3- CBOT-HS and TruSeq SBS Kit v 3 - HS (Illumina). MicroRNA differentially expressed between dietary groups were identified with the DESeq2 software. Results: The comparison of miRNA profiles between dietary groups showed The highest number of miRNAs with altered expression was identified in the comparison of animals fed the diet containing cDDGS and coconut oil (group IV) with animals from the –cDDGS + rapeseed oil (group I) (37 miRNA, p adjusted <0.01). Moreover, in comparison between the group IV and groups III and II , 29 (12 upregulated and 17 downregulated in +cDDGS+coconut oil group) and 28 (10 upregulated and 18 downregulated in +cDDGS+coconut oil group) miRNAs were identified, respectively (p adjusted <0.1) Conclusions: Obtained results suggest that coconut oil induces changes in miRNA profile of backfat in pigs.

Project description:The posttranscriptional gene regulation mediated by microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in various species. Recently, a large number of miRNAs and their expression patterns have been identified. However, to date, limited miRNAs have been reported to modulate adipogenesis and lipid deposition in beef cattle. Total RNAs from Chinese Qinchuan bovine backfat at fetal and adult stages were used to construct small RNA libraries for Illumina next-generation sequencing. A total of 13,915,411 clean reads were obtained from a fetal library and 14,244,946 clean reads from an adult library. In total, 475 known and 36 novel miRNA candidates from backfat were identified. The nucleotide bias, base editing, and family of the known miRNAs were also analyzed. Based on stem-loop qPCR, 15 specific miRNAs were detected, and the results showed that bta-miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 were highly expressed in backfat tissue, suggesting these small RNAs play a role in the development and maintenance of bovine subcutaneous fat tissue. Putative targets for miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 were predicted, and the 61 most significant target transcripts were related to lipid and fatty acid metabolism. Of interest, the canonical pathway and gene networks analyses revealed that PPARα/RXRα activation and LXR/RXR activation were important components of the gene interaction hierarchy results. In the present study, we explored the backfat miRNAome differences between cattle of different developmental stages, expanding the expression repertoire of bovine miRNAs that could contribute to further studies on the fat development of cattle. The expression analysis of the differential target genes of miRNAn25 and miRNAn26 showed potential gene networks that affect lipid and fatty acid metabolism. These results may help in the design of new intervention strategies to improve beef quality. Examination of Chinese Qinchuan bovine backfat miRNAs by deep sequencing.

Project description:RNA-seq from backfat tissues were obatained from 22 steers, including Angus (AN; n=8), Charolais (CH; n=6), and Kinsella composite (KC; n=8). In each breed, cattle were classified two groups, i.e. high residual feed intake adjusted for off-test backfat thickness (RFIfat, RFIfat >= 0.5) and low RFIfat (RFIfat <= -0.5). For gene analysis, 46, 39 and 177 differentially expressed (DE) genes were identified in AN, CH and KC, respectively. Among them, 4, 17, 74 genes were up-regulated in high RFIfat as compared to low RFIfat in AN, CH and KC, respectively. All DE genes were used for functional and upstream analysis in Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Some DE genes were involved in reduction of carbohydrate metabolism in AN, and reduction of lipid metabolism in KC.
