绵羊FGF10基因克隆、序列分析及其在毛囊发育中的表达分析

本试验旨在获得中国美利奴羊成纤维细胞生长因子10（fibroblast growth factor 10,FGF10）基因的编码区（CDS）全长序列并进行生物信息学分析,随后对FGF10基因在中国美利奴羊毛囊发育过程中的表达特征进行分析,明确其在中国美利奴羊毛囊发育过程中的表达模式,为进一步研究FGF10 mRNA表达水平与中国美利奴羊毛囊生长发育的表达调控机制奠定理论基础。采用PCR扩增获得中国美利奴羊FGF10基因CDS,并克隆到zero PCR@^TM-Blunt进行测序验证;利用实时荧光定量PCR技术检测FGF10在中国美利奴羊毛囊发育过程中的表达差异。结果表明,绵羊FGF10基因CDS长度为696 bp（序列上传GenBank,获得登录号：MT872422）,编码231个氨基酸,与牛和山羊的氨基酸序列同源性达100%,存在1个信号肽和1个跨膜结构域,其为分泌通路信号蛋白;实时荧光定量PCR分析表明,FGF10基因在中国美利奴羊毛囊发育过程中均表达,在毛囊发育第85天表达最高,显著高于其他毛囊发育时期（P<0.05）。本研究获得中国美利奴羊FGF10基因完整的编码区序列和毛囊发育过程中的表达特征,生物信息学分析发现,FGF10基因编码区序列具有物种间的保守性,同时FGF10在绵羊毛囊不同发育阶段的皮肤组织中表达,由此表明,FGF10基因可能在绵羊毛囊的生长发育过程中发挥重要的生物学作用。     

阿勒泰羊生长速度与主要血液生化指标含量及尾脂Leptin基因表达关系

试验通过研究不同生长速度阿勒泰羊主要血液生化指标含量和尾脂中瘦素（Leptin）基因的表达水平,探讨阿勒泰羊生长速度与脂肪沉积之间的关系。选取300只出生时间相近的阿勒泰羊公羔,正常饲喂至6月龄,记录日增重,取平均日增重排前10%和后10%的公羔各30只,分为生长快速组（HBW）和生长慢速组（LBW）,从生长快速组随机选12只分为抑制生长组（饲喂低能量饲粮以抑制其生长,HBW-75%,n=6）和生长快速对照组（饲喂标准饲粮,HBW-100%,n=6）,生长慢速组随机选12只分为促进生长组（饲喂高能量饲粮以促进生长,LBW-125%,n=6）和生长慢速对照组（饲喂标准饲粮,LBW-100%,n=6）;预饲期7 d,正饲期30 d,试验结束后称重并采集血液,屠宰后采集尾部脂肪。检测血液TG、CK、TSH、T3、T4、S.S、GH、INS、PG、Leptin含量或活性及尾部脂肪Leptin mRNA和蛋白表达量,并观察尾部脂肪细胞形态学变化。结果显示,HBW-100%和LBW-100%组初体重与末体重均差异显著（P<0.05）,HBW-75%和HBW-100%组初体重与末体重均无显著差异（P>0.05）;LBW-100%和LBW-125%组初体重差异显著（P<0.05）,末体重无显著差异（P>0.05）。LBW-100%组的T4、S.S、Leptin、TSH、T3含量显著低于HBW-100%组（P<0.05）;LBW-125%组T3含量显著高于LBW-100%组（P<0.05）;HBW-75%组GH、PG和Leptin含量显著低于HBW-100%组（P<0.05）。LBW-125%组尾部脂肪细胞面积大于LBW-100%组,HBW-75%组小于HBW-100%组（P<0.05）。Leptin mRNA和蛋白表达量检测结果表明,HBW-100%组的Leptin mRNA表达量与LBW-100%组无显著差异（P>0.05）,Leptin蛋白表达量极显著高于LBW-100%组（P<0.01）。LBW-125%组Leptin mRNA和蛋白的表达量均显著高于LBW-100%组（P<0.05）。HBW-75%组Leptin mRNA的表达量极显著低于HBW-100%组（P<0.01）,Leptin蛋白表达量显著低于HBW-100%组（P<0.05）。综上所述,生长快速组与生长慢速组中,Leptin的表达量与体重和体脂有一定关联;在生长慢速组促进生长后体重和体脂显著增加,Leptin的表达量呈上升趋势;在生长快速组抑制生长后体重和体脂减少,Leptin的表达呈下降趋势。改变生长速度对Leptin的表达量会产生影响,从而改变机体的脂肪沉积状况。     

Comparison of the microbial communities of alpacas and sheep fed diets with three different ratios of corn stalk to concentrate

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of ruminal microbial communities of alpacas (Lama pacos) and sheep (Ovis aries) fed three diets with varying ratios of roughage (corn stalk) to concentrate, 3:7 (LS), 5:5 (MS) and 7:3 (HS). Six alpacas (one-year-old and weighing 29.5 ± 7.1 kg) and six sheep (one-year-old and weighing 27.9 ± 2.7 kg) were used in this study, in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square experiment. Total protozoa concentration was determined under the microscope; total fungi and methanogens were assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and expressed as a percentage of total bacterial 16S rRNA gene copies; bacterial communities were investigated by targeted 16S rRNA gene (V3–V4 region) sequencing. The percentage of fungi was significantly higher in alpacas than in sheep under the LS diet, while the concentration of protozoa was significantly lower in alpacas under HS, MS and LS diets. The alpha diversity including Shannon, Chao l and ACE indices of bacterial communities was higher in alpacas than in sheep, under the LS diet. A total of 299 genera belonging to 22 phyla were observed in the forestomach of alpaca and sheep, with Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes dominating both animal species. Phyla Armatimonadetes and Fusobacteria, as well as 64 genera, were detected only in alpacas, whereas phyla Acidobacteria and Nitrospira, as well as 44 genera, were found only in sheep. The abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, including Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio, was higher in alpacas than in sheep under all three diets. These differences in the forestomach microbial communities partly explained why alpacas displayed a higher poor-quality roughage digestibility, and a lower methane production. Results also revealed that the adverse effects of high-concentrate diets (70%) were lesser in alpacas than in sheep.     

Optimizing injection time of GFP plasmid into sheep zygote

Microinjection of exogenous DNA into the cytoplasm of matured oocytes or zygotes is a promising technique to generate transgenic animals. However, the data about the microinjection time and procedure in sheep are limited and have not treated in detail. To obtain more in-depth information, the Sarda sheep oocytes from abattoir-derived ovaries were subjected to IVM and IVF. Then, the GFP plasmid as a reporter gene was injected into the cytoplasm of MII oocytes (n: 95) and zygotes at different post-insemination intervals (6–8 hpi, n: 120; 8–10 hpi, n: 122; 10–12 hpi, n: 110 and 12–14 hpi, n: 96). There were no significant differences in the cleavage rates between the groups. However, blastocyst rate of injected zygotes at all-time intervals was significantly lower than injected MII oocytes and control group (p < 0.05). Interestingly, the proportion of GFP-positive embryos was higher at 8–10 hpi compared with other injected groups (4 % versus 0 %, p  < 0.01). Among these, the proportion of mosaic embryos was high and two of those embryos developed to the blastocyst stage. In conclusion, we settled on the cytoplasmic microinjection of GFP plasmid at 8–10 hpi as an optimized time point for the production of transgenic sheep and subsequent experiments.
