Dark-cutting beef continues to remain one of the challenges for the global beef industry. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of varying visual degrees of dark-cutting condition on the lipidome profiles of beef longissimus lumborum. Beef carcasses (n = 6/treatment; 24 total loins) were identified at the time of grading based on the visual severity of dark-cutting levels, and beef strip loins (longissimus lumborum) were collected from these carcasses following fabrication. Treatments included a normal, bright cherry red control (pH = 5.54), shady dark-cutting (half dark; pH = 5.96), moderate dark-cutting (two-thirds dark; pH = 6.38), and moderately severe dark-cutting (full dark; pH = 6.55). Approximately 48-60 h postmortem, a single steak was sliced off the anterior end of each loin for bloom color analysis and nontargeted lipidomic analysis using a liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry approach. A total of 379 lipids, representing different classes of lipids, were identified across the four treatments. Pairwise comparisons revealed 21, 22, and 23 lipid species that differed (P < 0.05) in shady, moderate, and moderately severe dark-cutting beef, respectively, compared with normal beef. Only one lipid species (acylcarnitine 22:2) differed between moderately severe and moderate groups. Acylcarnitine species of varying carbons and saturations were the most common of the shared species in dark-cutting samples. Medium- and long-chain acylcarnitine levels were significantly different (P < 0.05) between dark-cutting treatments and normal pH. The importance projection analysis indicated that acylcarnitine 20:2, 18:1, and 16:0 were the top three lipid species contributing to differences between dark-cutting severities and normal steaks. The relative proportion of lipids involved in energy metabolism was greater (P < 0.05) in moderate and moderately severe than in normal bright red steaks. Greater acylcarnitine levels in postmortem muscle suggest mobilization of fatty acids for energy homeostasis in dark-cutting beef and altered metabolism.
深切牛肉仍然是全球牛肉行业面临的挑战之一。本研究的目的是确定不同视觉程度的暗切条件对牛肉腰最长肌脂质谱的影响。在根据暗切程度的视觉严重程度进行分级时,确定了牛肉尸体(n = 6/处理;总共24块里脊),并在制作后从这些尸体中收集牛肉条里脊(腰最长肌)。处理包括正常的,明亮的樱桃红对照(pH = 5.54),阴暗暗切(半暗,pH = 5.96),中度暗切(三分之二暗,pH = 6.38)和中度重度暗切(全暗,pH = 6.55)。死后大约48-60小时,从每块腰肉的前端切下一块牛排,使用液相色谱-质谱方法进行花色分析和非靶向脂质组学分析。在四种治疗方法中,共鉴定出379种脂质,代表不同种类的脂质。两两比较发现,与正常牛肉相比,暗切牛肉、中度切牛肉和中度切牛肉的脂肪含量分别有21、22和23种差异(P < 0.05)。只有一种脂质(酰基肉碱22:2)在中重度组和中度组之间存在差异。不同碳和饱和度的酰基肉碱是暗切样品中最常见的共有种。中链和长链酰基肉碱水平在暗切处理与正常ph值之间差异显著(P < 0.05),重要性投影分析表明,酰基肉碱20:2、18:1和16:0是造成暗切严重程度与正常牛排差异的前3个脂质种类。中、中重度鲜红牛排参与能量代谢的脂质相对比例高于正常鲜红牛排(P < 0.05)。死后肌肉中较高的酰基肉碱水平表明,在深切牛肉中,脂肪酸的能量稳态动员和代谢改变。

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are key gene regulators that are involved in many fundamental biological processes. Skeletal muscle cannot develop normally without the involvement of circRNA. While circRNA plays a pivotal role in skeletal muscle development, its functions and mechanisms within the muscle development of local chicken breeds remain to be thoroughly elucidated. This study, using the Jingyuan chicken as a model, investigated the regulatory role of circACLY in skeletal muscle development and inosine monophosphate (IMP) synthesis. Experiments verified that circACLY is a circRNA that is mainly localized to the cytoplasm. Bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation demonstrated that circACLY is a target of gga-miR-6660-3p, which in turn regulates the expression of Ectonucleotide Triphosphate Diphosphohydrolase 7 (ENTPD7). Functional assays demonstrated that gga-miR-6660-3p inhibits myoblast proliferation and differentiation capacity while suppressing the de novo IMP synthesis pathway. However, circACLY reverses the inhibitory effects of gga-miR-6660-3p on these processes. This study systematically elucidates the regulatory mechanism of the circACLY/gga-miR-6660-3p/ENTPD7 axis in the development of quail myoblasts and IMP synthesis, providing a theoretical basis for deepening the understanding of the molecular basis of skeletal muscle development in local chicken breeds and the genetic improvement of meat quality traits.
环状rna (circRNAs)是参与许多基本生物过程的关键基因调控因子。没有circRNA的参与,骨骼肌无法正常发育。虽然circRNA在骨骼肌发育中起着关键作用,但其在地方鸡品种肌肉发育中的功能和机制仍有待彻底阐明。本研究以靖远鸡为模型,探讨了circACLY在骨骼肌发育和单磷酸肌苷(IMP)合成中的调节作用。实验证实circACLY是一种主要定位于细胞质的环状rna。生物信息学分析和实验验证表明,circACLY是gga-miR-6660-3p的靶标,而gga-miR-6660-3p反过来调节外核苷酸三磷酸二磷酸水解酶7 (ENTPD7)的表达。功能分析表明,gga-miR-6660-3p抑制成肌细胞增殖和分化能力,同时抑制新生IMP合成途径。然而,循环逆转了gga-miR-6660-3p对这些过程的抑制作用。本研究系统阐明了circACLY/gga-miR-6660-3p/ENTPD7轴在鹌鹑成肌细胞发育和IMP合成中的调控机制,为深入了解地方鸡品种骨骼肌发育的分子基础和肉质性状的遗传改良提供理论依据。

Boar taint, an unpleasant odor in heated pork, is caused primarily by androstenone accumulation in fat. Previous research demonstrated that biochar (BC), a charcoal-based adsorbent, can reduce androstenone accumulation in the fat when used as a dietary additive. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of BC as a dietary treatment for boar taint in two genetic lines of boars from Alliance Genetics Canada (AGC) and Pig Improvement Company (PIC), and examine the influence of steroidogenic capacity on treatment response. All boars were fed a 5% BC diet for four weeks starting at a bodyweight (BW) of 75.25 ± 1.42 kg and 111.10 ± 0.86 days of age (DOA), followed by a two-week recovery period where BC was removed from the diet. Plasma androstenone, estrone sulfate (E1S), and growth performance parameters were measured weekly, and fat androstenone was measured biweekly. We found that 71% of PIC boars and 47% of AGC boars never developed boar taint, as the fat androstenone concentrations remained below the threshold of 1 μg/g throughout the trial. Of those with the capacity to develop boar taint, 89% of AGC boars responded to BC treatment, compared to 67% for PIC. However, no differences in plasma or fat androstenone levels were observed between the two genetic lines. Additionally, all growth performance parameters were not different between AGC and PIC boars except gain: feed (G: F) during the treatment period and average daily gain (ADG) during recovery, where PIC boars performed better (P = 0.001). Plasma E1S concentrations measured at approximately 130 kg live weight were used to classify boars as either high (plasma E1S > 16 ng/mL) or low steroidogenic capacity (plasma E1S ≤ 16 ng/mL). High steroidogenic capacity boars had greater plasma E1S concentrations (P < 0.05) across all time points compared those with low steroidogenic capacity, although growth rates remained not different between groups. In both genetic lines, boars that never developed boar taint as well as those responded to BC treatment consisted of a mix of high and low steroidogenic capacity animals, while boars that did not respond to BC treatment were exclusively high steroidogenic capacity. These results suggest that steroidogenic capacity may help to predict BC treatment response, although additional research is needed to identify genetic and biological markers associated with treatment success in order to effectively tailor BC treatment to animals most likely to benefit.
猪膻味是加热猪肉的一种难闻的气味,主要是由脂肪中的雄甾酮积累引起的。先前的研究表明,生物炭(BC)是一种以木炭为基础的吸附剂,当用作膳食添加剂时,可以减少雄烯酮在脂肪中的积累。本研究的目的是比较加拿大联盟遗传公司(AGC)和猪改良公司(PIC)的两个种猪遗传系在饲粮中添加BC对公猪粪污的治疗效果,并研究类固醇生成能力对治疗反应的影响。在体重(BW)为75.25±1.42 kg、DOA为111.10±0.86日龄(DOA)时,饲喂5% BC的饲粮4周,然后进行为期2周的恢复期,将BC从饲粮中去除。每周检测血浆雄烯酮、硫酸雌酮(E1S)和生长性能参数,每两周检测脂肪雄烯酮。我们发现71%的PIC公猪和47%的AGC公猪没有出现公猪粪臭,因为在整个试验过程中,脂肪雄烯酮浓度始终低于1 μg/g的阈值。在那些有能力发展公猪污染的猪中,89%的AGC公猪对BC治疗有反应,而PIC为67%。然而,血浆或脂肪雄烯酮水平在两个遗传系之间没有差异。此外,除处理期增重比(G: F)和恢复期平均日增重(ADG)外,AGC公猪与PIC公猪的其他生长性能参数均无显著差异(P = 0.001)。在约130 kg活重时测定血浆E1S浓度,将公猪分为高(血浆E1S浓度≤16 ng/mL)和低(血浆E1S≤16 ng/mL)甾体生成能力。高类固醇生成能力公猪的血浆E1S浓度在各时间点均高于低类固醇生成能力公猪(P < 0.05),但各组之间的生长速率无显著差异。在这两个遗传系中,从未发生公猪污染的公猪以及对BC治疗有反应的公猪包括高和低类固醇生成能力的动物,而对BC治疗没有反应的公猪完全是高类固醇生成能力的动物。这些结果表明,类固醇生成能力可能有助于预测BC治疗反应,尽管需要进一步的研究来确定与治疗成功相关的遗传和生物学标记,以便有效地为最有可能受益的动物量身定制BC治疗。

β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB), a metabolite of leucine, increases both protein synthesis and lipolysis, immune function, and overall health in both humans and animals. Previous cattle studies have shown that HMB, fed as calcium HMB (CaHMB), can minimize stress responses and improve meat quality. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of feeding CaHMB in a subtropical feedlot on performance of Nellore (Bos indicus) bulls. A total of 3,520 bulls (64 pens; 55 animals per pen) were studied with four levels of CaHMB (0 (control, CON), 3, 5, or 7 g per head per day) and half the pens had shade access (SH), and half did not in a split-plot experimental design. Diets containing CaHMB were fed during three phases of the study, adaptation, growth, and finishing. There were no CaHMB x SH interactions observed for any variable measured. However, adjusted final body weight (FBW) tended to increase in CaHMB-treated bulls up to 5.8 kg in bulls fed 3 g per day (linear P < 0.07). Additionally, adjusted average daily gain (ADG) and carcass ADG were also increased with 3 g per day CaHMB by 3.2% and 2.6%, respectively, when compared with CON (linear P < 0.04). Bulls fed CaHMB tended to have increased hot carcass weight (HCW) by up to 3.4 kg in bulls fed 3 g CaHMB per day and a 0.36% increase in dressing percentage (DP) (linear P < 0.07 and 0.09, respectively). No differences were observed in dry matter intake (DMI) during any of the feeding periods. No significant differences were observed in gain: feed. Of major importance to the subtropical environment, 34% of the days were considered hot to very hot with the comfort level (InCI) >0.45 on a 0 to 1.0 scale. In conclusion, supplementing Bos indicus bulls with CaHMB resulted in improved growth performance and carcass yield.
β-羟基-β-甲基丁酸盐(HMB)是亮氨酸的代谢物,可促进蛋白质合成和脂肪分解、免疫功能以及人类和动物的整体健康。以前的牛研究表明,以钙HMB (CaHMB)喂养的HMB可以减少应激反应并改善肉品质。本研究旨在探讨在亚热带饲养场饲喂CaHMB对牛生产性能的影响。共有3,520头公牛(64个栏,每个栏55头动物)在四种水平的CaHMB(0(对照,CON), 3,5或7 g /头/天)下进行了研究,一半的栏有荫蔽通道(SH),一半没有。在适应期、生长期和肥育期三个阶段分别饲喂含有CaHMB的饲粮。在测量的任何变量中,没有观察到CaHMB与SH的相互作用。然而,在每天饲喂3 g cahmb的公牛中,调整后的最终体重(FBW)倾向于增加5.8 kg(在0 ~ 1.0范围内线性P为0.45)。综上所述,在公牛中添加CaHMB可提高公牛的生长性能和胴体产量。

No studies are currently available regarding the roles of the amino acid transporters in promoting mineral absorption in animals. To study whether the y(+)L-type amino acid transporter 2 (y+LAT2) participates in enhancing Zn absorption as Zn proteinate with moderate chelation strength (Zn-Prot M) in broilers, three experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of y+LAT2 silencing and overexpression on zinc (Zn) absorption as Zn-Prot M and related gene expressions in broiler primary duodenal epithelial cells (BPDECs) contrasted with Zn sulfate (ZnSO4). In Exp.1, three pairs of siRNAs (si-494, si-834 and si-1153) targeting y+LAT2 were synthesized and transfected within the cells to identify the optimal siRNA for silencing y+LAT2 mRNA expression, and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. In Exp.2, cells were incubated for 2 h in either a DMEM/F12 complete medium without Zn supplementation (Control) or the same medium enriched with 400 μmol Zn/L as ZnSO4 or Zn-Prot M, with or without the only one effective siRNA targeting y+LAT2, and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. In Exp.3, with or without the recombinant adenovirus plasmid encoding y+LAT2, cells were also treated for 2 h with the same media as in Exp. 2, and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The results demonstrated that in Exp.1, the si-494 was the only one effective (P < 0.0001) siRNA for inhibiting y+LAT2 mRNA expression. In Exp.2, y+LAT2 silencing reduced its own mRNA and protein abundances (P < 0.0001) by 46% and 14% and Zn absorption from Zn-Prot M by 34% (P < 0.05), with no effect (P > 0.05) on Zn absorption from ZnSO4. In Exp.3, y+LAT2 overexpression elevated its own mRNA and protein expressions by 949% and 18% (P < 0.0001) and Zn absorption from Zn-Prot M by 73% (P < 0.05), but didn't affect (P > 0.05) Zn absorption from ZnSO4. Additionally, Zn-Prot M upregulated (P < 0.05) the y+LAT2 protein expression compared to the Control and ZnSO4 by 12∼17%, with no impact (P > 0.07) on the y+LAT2 mRNA expression, regardless of y+LAT2 silencing or overexpression. In conclusion, the y+LAT2 took part in promoting Zn absorption as Zn-Prot M in BPDECs.
目前还没有关于氨基酸转运体在促进动物矿物质吸收中的作用的研究。为了研究y(+) l型氨基酸转运蛋白2 (y+LAT2)是否作为具有中等螯合强度的锌蛋白(Zn- prot M)参与肉仔鸡锌吸收,本研究通过3个试验对比硫酸锌(ZnSO4),研究了y+LAT2沉默和过表达对肉仔鸡原代十二指肠上皮细胞(BPDECs)锌吸收及相关基因表达的影响。在实验1中,我们合成了3对靶向y+LAT2的siRNA (si-494、si-834和si-1153),并在细胞内转染,以确定沉默y+LAT2 mRNA表达的最佳siRNA,并对数据进行单因素方差分析。在实验2中,细胞分别在不添加锌的DMEM/F12完整培养基(对照)和添加400 μmol Zn/L的ZnSO4或Zn- prot M培养基中孵育2 h,其中有或没有唯一一种靶向y+LAT2的有效siRNA,数据采用双向方差分析(two- ANOVA)分析。在Exp.3中,无论是否含有编码y+LAT2的重组腺病毒质粒,细胞也在与Exp. 2相同的培养基中处理2小时,数据采用双向方差分析。结果表明,在exp1中,si-494是唯一有效吸收ZnSO4中锌的材料(p0.05)。在第3期中,y+LAT2过表达使其自身mRNA和蛋白表达分别提高了949%和18% (P < 0.05)。此外,Zn-Prot M上调y+LAT2 mRNA表达(P 0.07),无论y+LAT2沉默或过表达。综上所述,y+LAT2以Zn- prot M的形式参与了BPDECs对Zn的吸收。

To study whether the y(+)L-type amino acid transporter 2 (y+LAT2) participates in enhancing Zn absorption as Zn proteinate with moderate chelation strength (Zn-Prot M) in broilers, three experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of y+LAT2 silencing and overexpression on zinc (Zn) absorption as Zn-Prot M and related gene expressions in broiler primary duodenal epithelial cells (BPDECs) contrasted with Zn sulfate (ZnSO4). In Exp.1, three pairs of siRNAs (si-494, si-834 and si-1153) targeting y+LAT2 were synthesized and transfected within the cells to identify the optimal siRNA for silencing y+LAT2 mRNA expression, and the data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. In Exp.2, cells were incubated for 2 h in either a DMEM/F12 complete medium without Zn supplementation (Control) or the same medium enriched with 400 μmol Zn/L as ZnSO4 or Zn-Prot M, with or without the only one effective siRNA targeting y+LAT2, and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. In Exp.3, with or without the recombinant adenovirus plasmid encoding y+LAT2, cells were also treated for 2 h with the same media as in Exp. 2, and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA.

The effect of graded reductions in balanced crude protein (CP) on hen productive performance, egg quality, nitrogen balance, abdominal fat deposition, tibia traits, and relative economic outcomes from 26 to 44 weeks of age (WOA) was investigated. A total of 252 26-week-old Hy-Line Brown hens were housed in enriched cages (7 birds/cage) and randomly allocated to 1 of 4 different dietary CP levels of iso-energetic diets with 9 replicates per treatment. The trial was conducted over two phases of 26 to 34 and 36 to 44 WOA. Diets included a high-protein (HP; 18.0% and 17.0% CP in Phases 1 and 2), medium-protein (MP), low-protein (LP), and very low-protein (VLP) series, representing stepwise reductions of 0.50, 1.00, and 1.50 percentage points relative to HP. Limiting amino acids (AA; lysine, methionine, and threonine) were supplemented to ensure balanced AA profiles. Collected data were analyzed using the General Linear Model (GLM) procedure for one-way ANOVA; statistical significance was set at P < 0.05, and trends were noted at 0.05 < P < 0.10. Balanced protein reduction tended to improve abdominal fat contents (2.66 to 2.85%; P = 0.059), but reduce body weight gain (141.66 to 95.66 g; P = 0.089), particularly with the VLP diet. Across 26 to 44 WOA, graded CP reduction lowered egg weight (60.36 to 59.40 g; P < 0.05) and feed conversion efficiency (1.93 to 1.97 g feed/g egg; P < 0.05); and tended to reduce egg mass (57.02 to 55.11 g/hen/day; P = 0.080), particularly in the VLP group. As to egg quality, Haugh units were higher (P < 0.05) with HP and MP diets (94.60 and 94.30) than LP and VLP diets (93.66 and 93.04) across 26-44 WOA. In contrast, LP and VLP diets tended to improve yolk color (8.38 to 8.49; P = 0.076) and egg-breaking strength (5.39 to 5.51 kg; P = 0.058) across 26-44 WOA. Dietary CP reduction linearly reduced nitrogen consumed and excreted by more than 10% (P < 0.05). Tibia-breaking strength tended to decline with dietary CP reduction (P = 0.094), decreasing from 27.62 kg in HP to 25.54-25.68 kg in the LP and VLP diets. Economically, reduced CP lowered egg income (P < 0.05) at weeks 34 and 44 (2.00 to 1.77$; 1.96 to 1.89$, respectively); and feed costs at week 34 only (0.54 to 0.52$; P = 0.088), but profit margins remained unaffected (P > 0.10). Conclusively, these results confirm the effectiveness of balanced dietary protein reduction in maintaining egg production rate and most egg quality traits while reducing nitrogen excreted and feed costs.
本试验旨在研究平衡粗蛋白质(CP)分级降低对26 ~ 44周龄母鸡生产性能、蛋品质、氮平衡、腹部脂肪沉积、胫骨性状和相对经济效益的影响。试验选用252只26周龄海兰褐鸡,饲喂强化笼(7只/笼),随机选择4种不同CP水平的等能饲粮,每处理9个重复。试验分26 ~ 34 WOA和36 ~ 44 WOA两个阶段进行。饲粮包括高蛋白(HP;第1阶段和第2阶段CP分别为18.0%和17.0%)、中蛋白(MP)、低蛋白(LP)和极低蛋白(VLP)系列,相对于HP逐步降低0.50、1.00和1.50个百分点。补充限制性氨基酸(赖氨酸、蛋氨酸和苏氨酸)以确保平衡AA谱。收集的数据使用一般线性模型(GLM)程序进行单因素方差分析;P < 0.10)。综上所述,上述结果证实了平衡降低饲粮蛋白质在维持产蛋率和大多数蛋品质性状,同时减少氮排泄和饲料成本方面的有效性。

The luteinizing hormone (LH) is well established to trigger oocyte maturation and cumulus expansion in preovulatory follicles, primarily through activating the epidermal growth factor (EGF) signaling network. While previous studies have demonstrated that activation of the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPR30) accelerates meiotic resumption and first polar body extrusion in oocytes, the molecular mechanisms underlying GPR30 function in this process remain poorly defined. Here, cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) of goat follicles were used to investigate the interaction between the EGF network and GPR30 during oocyte maturation and ovulation. Our results showed that: LH signal was found to increase GPR30 protein levels via the EGF receptor signaling pathway (P<0.05); Estradiol (E2) acts via GPR30 to promote ERK1/2 phosphorylation, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production, first polar body extrusion, and the expression of cumulus expansion-related genes in COCs (P<0.05), and E2 further enhances these functional outcomes by increasing EGFR protein levels in cumulus cells. Collectively, these findings reveal a synergistic interaction between LH and E2 in regulating goat oocyte maturation: E2, via GPR30-mediated upregulation of EGFR, enhances COCs' responsiveness to LH-induced EGF signaling-thereby amplifying oocyte maturation efficiency and cumulus expansion. This study provides new insights into the integrated signaling network governing mammalian oocyte maturation and offers a potential molecular target for optimizing in vitro maturation (IVM) protocols for goat.
黄体生成素(LH)主要通过激活表皮生长因子(EGF)信号网络,在排卵前卵泡中触发卵母细胞成熟和积云扩张。虽然先前的研究表明,G蛋白偶联雌激素受体(GPR30)的激活加速了卵母细胞减数分裂的恢复和第一极体的挤压,但GPR30在这一过程中功能的分子机制仍不清楚。本研究利用山羊卵泡的卵母细胞复合物(COCs)研究了EGF网络和GPR30在卵母细胞成熟和排卵过程中的相互作用。结果表明:LH信号通过EGF受体信号通路上调GPR30蛋白水平(P<0.05);雌二醇(E2)通过GPR30促进ERK1/2磷酸化、环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)产生、第一极体挤压以及COCs中积云扩张相关基因的表达(P<0.05), E2通过增加积云细胞中EGFR蛋白水平进一步增强这些功能结果。总的来说,这些发现揭示了LH和E2在调节山羊卵母细胞成熟方面的协同相互作用:E2通过gpr30介导的EGFR上调,增强了COCs对LH诱导的EGF信号的响应,从而提高了卵母细胞成熟效率和卵积云扩张。该研究为哺乳动物卵母细胞成熟的综合信号网络提供了新的见解,并为优化山羊体外成熟(IVM)方案提供了潜在的分子靶点。

Supplementation with vitamins and minerals (VTM) in the diet of pregnant F0 dams influences offspring development; however, long-term effects on metabolic organs, including the liver, remain unclear. This study evaluated hepatic gene expression in F1 heifers born to F0 dams fed a basal diet with VTM (n = 8) or without VTM (CON; n = 7) throughout gestation. After birth, F1 heifers were managed as a single group and inseminated with sexed female semen from a single sire. At 250 days of gestation and ∼22 months of age, F1 heifers were harvested and liver samples collected. Total RNA was extracted, sequenced, and reads aligned using STAR after quality control. Differential expression analyses were performed in R (v4.4.2) using the DESeq2 package, and over-representation of KEGG pathways and biological processes was carried out using ShinyGO v.0.76. A total of 13,990 genes were tested, of which 486 were differentially expressed (P ≤ 0.05; |log2FC| ≥ 0.5), including 241 upregulated and 245 downregulated in the VTM group. Upregulated genes by maternal VTM supplementation included RPL23, SOX4, PTGS2, NDUFC1, UQCRH, and RPS28, associated with pathways including ribosome and processes like cell proliferation and oxidative phosphorylation. Downregulated genes, including EIF2AK2, ESR1, SLC7A1, and PIK3CB, were associated with processes related to regulation of cell population proliferation and organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process. These results indicate that VTM supplementation in F0 dams may induce persistent changes in hepatic gene expression in the offspring, with potential metabolic implications during critical physiological stages, such as during gestation in F1 heifers.

饲粮中添加维生素和矿物质(VTM)对妊娠F0坝子代发育有影响;然而,对代谢器官(包括肝脏)的长期影响尚不清楚。本研究评估了在整个妊娠期饲喂含VTM (n = 8)和不含VTM (CON; n = 7)基础饲粮的F1母牛的肝脏基因表达。出生后,将F1小母牛作为一组进行管理,并使用来自单一父系的雌性精液进行授精。在妊娠250天和~ 22月龄时,收获F1小母牛并采集肝脏样本。提取总RNA,测序,质量控制后用STAR对reads进行比对。在R (v4.4.2)中使用DESeq2软件包进行差异表达分析,使用ShinyGO v.0.76对KEGG通路和生物过程进行过度表征。共检测到13990个基因,其中486个差异表达(P≤0.05;|log2FC|≥0.5),其中VTM组表达上调241个,下调245个。母体补充VTM上调的基因包括RPL23、SOX4、PTGS2、NDUFC1、UQCRH和RPS28,这些基因与核糖体和细胞增殖、氧化磷酸化等过程相关。下调的基因包括EIF2AK2、ESR1、SLC7A1和PIK3CB,这些基因与细胞群体增殖和有机氮化合物生物合成过程的调控相关。这些结果表明,在F0母猪中添加VTM可能会引起后代肝脏基因表达的持续变化,并在关键生理阶段(如F1母牛妊娠期)产生潜在的代谢影响。(美国农业部资助:2022-67016-36479)

: Introduction Offspring from sows fed Zn, Cu and Mn in the metal methionine hydroxy analogue chelate (MHAC) form vs. sulfate form have been shown to have greater loin eye area at harvest. Data is lacking compared with other mineral sources. Objective Assess the impact of maternal feeding of MHAC or glycinate (Gly) minerals on offspring serum mineral concentration, loin depth and fat depth. Methods From 6 weeks pre-breeding through first gestation, diets were supplemented with 80 mg/kg Zn, 10 mg/kg Cu and 20 mg/kg Mn. From first through third lactation, Zn, Cu and Mn were provided at 50 mg/kg Zn, 10 mg/kg Cu and 20 mg/kg Mn. During parity 3, serum from 1 piglet/litter at 4-d, weaning and 14-d post-weaning was obtained from 20 litters/treatment. At each parity, muscle and backfat depth was determined for approximately 1,000 pigs/treatment. Results There was no treatment (P &gt; 0.15) nor treatment × time interaction (P &gt; 0.22) for serum mineral concentration. Serum Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn were highest at weaning (P &lt; 0.001). Cu and Zn concentrations were 34% and 60% lower respectively at 14-d post-weaning than at 4-d of age. Parity 2 and 3 MHAC offspring had 0.5 mm (P &lt; 0.01) and 1.0 mm (P &lt; 0.001) more muscle depth at 122 kg. Backfat was lower in parity 1 (-0.2 mm; P &lt; 0.01) and parity 3 (-0.4 mm; P &lt; 0.001) MHAC offspring. Conclusions Offspring serum mineral concentration was highest at 4-d of age. Maternal trace mineral source appears to provide an opportunity to impact offspring loin and fat depth at harvest.
在收获时,以金属蛋氨酸羟基类似物螯合物(MHAC)形式喂养锌、铜和锰的母猪的后代比以硫酸盐形式喂养的母猪的后代有更大的腰眼面积。与其他矿物资源相比,缺乏数据。目的评价母亲喂养MHAC或甘氨酸(Gly)矿物质对子代血清矿物质浓度、腰深和脂肪深度的影响。方法从孕前6周至第一次妊娠,饲粮中分别添加80 mg/kg Zn、10 mg/kg Cu和20 mg/kg Mn。从泌乳第1期到泌乳第3期,分别以50 mg/kg Zn、10 mg/kg Cu和20 mg/kg Mn的水平饲喂Zn、Cu和Mn。在第3胎次期间,从每窝20头仔猪中提取1头仔猪在断奶后第4天、断奶和断奶后第14天的血清。在每次胎次时,每处理约1000头猪,确定肌肉和背膘深度。结果两组患者血清矿物质浓度无治疗(P > 0.15)和治疗×时间交互作用(P > 0.22)。血清铁、锌、铜和锰在断奶时最高(P < 0.001)。断奶后14 d时Cu和Zn浓度分别比4 d时降低34%和60%。胎次2和3 MHAC子代在122 kg时肌肉深度分别增加0.5 mm (P < 0.01)和1.0 mm (P < 0.001)。胎次1 (-0.2 mm; P < 0.01)和胎次3 (-0.4 mm; P < 0.001) MHAC后代的背膘较低。结论子代血清矿物质浓度在4 d龄时最高。母体微量矿物质来源似乎提供了在收获时影响子代腰部和脂肪深度的机会。

Pregnancies utilizing Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) are associated with several complications including an increased risk of preeclampsia, placental abruption, and morbidly adherent placentas. Our work along with others has shown that placentas from mice conceived by in vitro fertilization (IVF) display overgrowth, impaired blood vessel development, altered gene expression and DNA methylation. These changes are associated with impaired fetal growth. We sought to identify the placental protein differences with IVF to inform potential interventions for improving ART procedures. Placental protein differences among IVF and spontaneously-conceived mouse concepti were analyzed in a sex-specific manner (n = 4-5 placentas/sex/experimental group/timepoint) by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry at five timepoints covering shortly after placental formation through term (E11.5, 12.5, 14.5, 16.5, and 18.5). Peptides below 1% FDR were included, and statistical analysis was performed using Two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests, and adjustment for multiple hypothesis testing. We observed normal, dynamic abundance changes for placental proteins over development. IVF induces an overall reduction in the abundance of several placental proteins at the earliest timepoint, E11.5. Several of the identified affected proteins are known to be important for placenta development and epigenetic regulation. Intriguingly, we observed most placental protein changes were observed among the female concepti but not the male concepti. To our knowledge, this is the first proteomic analysis of mouse placentas at multiple timepoints along gestation. We are currently conducting spatial transcriptomics experiments to determine if protein changes are associated with specific placental compartments.
使用辅助生殖技术(ART)妊娠与几种并发症相关,包括子痫前期、胎盘早剥和病态附着胎盘的风险增加。我们和其他人的工作表明,通过体外受精(IVF)受孕的小鼠胎盘表现出过度生长、血管发育受损、基因表达和DNA甲基化改变。这些变化与胎儿生长受损有关。我们试图确定胎盘蛋白与体外受精的差异,以告知改善ART程序的潜在干预措施。采用数据独立采集质谱法,在胎盘形成后不久至足月(E11.5、12.5、14.5、16.5和18.5)五个时间点,以性别特异性的方式(n = 4-5个胎盘/性别/实验组/时间点)分析体外受精和自然受孕小鼠胎盘蛋白的差异。纳入FDR低于1%的肽段,采用双向方差分析和Tukey HSD事后检验进行统计分析,并对多重假设检验进行调整。我们观察到胎盘蛋白在发育过程中正常的、动态的丰度变化。IVF在最早的时间点E11.5诱导了几种胎盘蛋白丰度的总体降低。已知几种已确定的受影响蛋白对胎盘发育和表观遗传调控很重要。有趣的是,我们观察到大多数胎盘蛋白的变化是在女性胎中观察到的,而不是在男性胎中。据我们所知,这是第一次对妊娠期间多个时间点的小鼠胎盘进行蛋白质组学分析。我们目前正在进行空间转录组学实验,以确定蛋白质变化是否与特定的胎盘室相关。
