Wheat gluten is an increasingly common ingredient in poultry diets but its impact on the small intestine in chicken is not fully understood. This study aimed to identify effects of high-gluten diets on chicken small intestines and the variation of their associated transcriptional responses by age. A total of 120 broilers (Ross Strain) were used to perform two animal experiments consisting of two gluten inclusion levels (0% or 25%) by bird's age (1 week or 4 weeks). Transcriptomics and histochemical techniques were employed to study the effect of gluten on their duodenal mucosa using randomly selected 12 broilers (3 chicks per group). A reduction in feed intake and body weight gain was found in the broilers fed a high-gluten containing diet at both ages. Histochemical photomicrographs showed a reduced villus height to crypt depth ratio in the duodenum of gluten-fed broilers at 1 week. We found mainly a significant effect on the gene expression of duodenal mucosa in gluten-fed broilers at 1 week (289 differentially expressed genes [DEGs]). Pathway analyses revealed that the significant DEGs were mainly involved in ribosome, oxidative phosphorylation, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathways. These pathways are involved in ribosome protein biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation and fatty acid metabolism, respectively. Our results suggest a pattern of differential gene expression in these pathways that can be linked to chronic inflammation, suppression of cell proliferation, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. And via such a mode of action, high-gluten inclusion levels in poultry diets could lead to the observed retardation of villi development in the duodenal mucosa of young broiler chicken.

Wheat is highly susceptible to heat stress, which significantly reduces grain yield. In this study, we used RNA-seq technology to analyze the transcript expression at three different time-points after heat treatment in three cultivars differing in their susceptibility to heat stress: Jopum, Keumkang, and Olgeuru. A total of 11,751, 8850, and 14,711; 10,959,7946, and 14,205; and 22,895,13,060, and 19,408 differentially-expressed genes (log2 fold-change > 1 and FDR (padj) < 0.05) were identified in Jopum, Keumkang, and Olgeuru in the control vs. 6-h, in the control vs. 12-h, and in the 6-h vs. 12-h heat treatment, respectively. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the biological processes for DEGs, such as the cellular response to heat and oxidative stress-and including the removal of superoxide radicals and the positive regulation of superoxide dismutase activity-were significantly enriched among the three comparisons in all three cultivars. Furthermore, we investigated the differential expression patterns of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging enzymes, heat shock proteins, and heat-stress transcription factors using qRT-PCR to confirm the differences in gene expression among the three varieties under heat stress. This study contributes to a better understanding of the wheat heat-stress response at the early growth stage and the varietal differences in heat tolerancea.

최근에 보고되는 일련의 연구는 Affymetrix 마이크로어레이 자료에서 유전자간 상관관계가 강하고 장범위(長範圍)(long-ranged)로 나타나고 있으며, 기존의 "편한" 가정, 즉 유전자간 상관관계가 매우 약하며, 따라서 유전자간 유사 독립성을 가정할 수 있다는 주장이 비현실적이라는 것을 보고하고 있다. Qui 등 (2005b)은 각 유전자의 검정통계량을 병합하여 통계적 추론을 하는 이른바 비모수적 경험적 베이즈 방법을 적용하면 검색된 특이발현 유전자수의 분산이 커진다는 것을 보고하고 있고, 이러한 분산의 불안전성 이유로서 유전자간 강한 상관관계를 지적하고 있다. 또한 Klebanov와 Yakovlev (2007)는 유전자간 상관관계가 통계적 분석을 어렵게 하는 요인이라기 보다는 유용한 정보의 원천이고 적정한 변환을 통하여 근사 독립을 유지할 수 있는 급수를 만들 수 있으며 이 급수를 ${\delta}$-급수라고 불렀다. 본 보고에서는 국내에서 생산된 2조의 cDNA 마이크로어레이 자료에서 유전자간 상관관계가 비교적 강하며, 장범위(長範圍)로 나타나는 것을 확인하며, 유사 독립성을 전제할 수 있는 ${\delta}$-급수가 cDNA 마이크로어레이에서도 발견되는 것을 보고하고자 한다, 동 보고는 추후 cDNA 마이크로어레이 자료의 분석에서도 유전자간 상관관계를 고려하여야 함을 강조하고 있다.

Objective: Oxidative stress (OS) is a pathological process arising from the excessive production of free radicals in the body. It has the potential to alter animal gene expression and cause damage to the jejunum. However, there have been few reports of changes in the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the jejunum in piglets under OS. The purpose of this research was to examine how lncRNAs in piglet jejunum change under OS. Methods: The abdominal cavities of piglets were injected with diquat (DQ) to produce OS. Raw reads were downloaded from the SRA database. RNA-seq was utilized to study the expression of lncRNAs in piglets under OS. Additionally, six randomly selected lncRNAs were verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to examine the mechanism of oxidative damage. Results: A total of 79 lncRNAs were differentially expressed (DE) in the treatment group compared to the negative control group. The target genes of DE lncRNAs were enriched in gene ontology (GO) terms and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathways. Chemical carcinogenesis-reactive oxygen species, the Foxo signaling pathway, colorectal cancer, and the AMPK signaling pathway were all linked to OS. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that DQ-induced OS causes differential expression of lncRNAs, laying the groundwork for future research into the processes involved in the jejunum's response to OS.

Objective: Despite an increasing number of investigations into the pathophysiology of necrotic enteritis (NE) disease, etiology of NE-associated diseases, and gene expression profiling of NE-affected tissues, the microRNA (miRNA) profiles of NE-affected poultry have been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to induce NE disease in the genetically disparate Fayoumi chicken lines, and to perform non-coding RNA sequencing in the intestinal mucosal layer. Methods: NE disease was induced in the Fayoumi chicken lines (M5.1 and M15.2), and non-coding RNA sequencing was performed in the intestinal mucosal layer of both NE-affected and uninfected chickens to examine the differential expression of miRNAs. Next, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time qPCR) was performed to further examine four miRNAs that showed the highest fold differences. Finally, bioinformatics analyses were performed to examine the four miRNAs target genes involvement in the signaling pathways, and to examine their interaction. Results: According to non-coding RNA sequencing, total 50 upregulated miRNAs and 26 downregulated miRNAs were detected in the NE-induced M5.1 chickens. While 32 upregulated miRNAs and 11 downregulated miRNAs were detected in the NE-induced M15.2 chickens. Results of real-time qPCR analysis on the four miRNAs (gga-miR-9-5p, gga-miR-20b-5p, ggamiR-196-5p, and gga-let-7d) were mostly correlated with the results of RNAseq. Overall, ggamiR-20b-5p was significantly downregulated in the NE-induced M5.1 chickens and this was associated with the upregulation of its top-ranking target gene, mitogen-activated protein kinase, kinase 2. Further bioinformatics analyses revealed that 45 of the gene targets of gga-miR-20b-5p were involved in signal transduction and immune system-related pathways, and 35 of these targets were predicted to interact with each other. Conclusion: Our study is a novel report of miRNA expression in Fayoumi chickens, and could be very useful in understanding the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in a NE disease model.

표고균사에서 갈변시기를 조절하고 확인할 수 있는 유전공학적 시스템을 개발하여 톱밥재배용 표고균주를 조기에 선별할 수 있도록 표고균사가 갈변되는 동안 균사상태에서 특이적으로 발현되는 유전자를 분리하기 위하여 갈변되지 않은 균사와 갈변이 완전히 이루어진 균사에서 differential display를 실시하였다. 그 결과 이들 균사로부터 특이적으로 발현되는 두 개의 1.6kb와 1.2kb의 cDNA clone을 선발하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 이 중 1.6kb의 cDNA단편은 Dugenia polichroa로부터 분리된 microsatellites 유전자와 100%의 상동성을 나타냈다. 그러나 1.2kb의 cDNA 단편은 3'부위에 poly A tail과 5 부위에 partial open reading frame를 가지고 있어 이를 primer로 제작한 후 갈변되지 않은 균사와 갈변이 이루어진 균사에서 RT-PCR을 실시하여 본 결과 갈변이 되지 않은 백색의 균사에서 발현이 확인되었다. 1.2kb의 cDNA 단편의 5' 부위의 염기서열 분석은 110개의 아미노산으로 구성된 partial open reading frame으로 나타났다. 이 유전자를 DNASIS database에서 상동성을 비교해 본 결과 Arabidopsis thaliata에서 분리된 dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratases 유전자와 DNA 수준에서는 66.7%, 아미노산 수준에서는 69.2%의 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. 갈변에 관련된 특이 유전자(BCR gene)를 확인하였다. 이 유전자는 산화 stress에 대해 저항성을 나타내는 기능을 가진 것으로 알려져 있어 표고 균사가 갈변될 때 repressor로서 작용할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 이 유전자를 BCR (Brown Color Repressor) 유전자라고 명명하였다.

Bacterial leaf blight(BLB), caused by X. oryzae pv. oryzae(Xoo), is one of the most destructive diseases of rice due to its high epidemic potential. Understanding BLB resistance at a genetic level is important to further improve the rice breeding that provides one of the best approaches to control BLB disease. In the present investigation, a collection of 192 accessions was used in the genome-wide association study (GWAS) for BLB resistance loci against four Korean races of Xoo that were represented by the prevailing BLB isolates under Xoo differential system. A total of 192 accessions of rice germplasm were selected on the basis of the bioassay using four isolated races of Xoo such as K1, K2, K3 and K3a. The selected accessions was used to prepare 384-plex genotyping by sequencing (GBS) libraries and Illumina HiSeq 2000 paired- end read was used for GBS sequencing. GWAS was conducted using T ASSEL 5.0. The T ASSEL program uses a mixed linear model (MLM). T he results of the bioassay using a selected set of 192 accessions showed that a large number of accessions (93.75%) were resistant to K1 race, while the least number of accessions (34.37%) resisted K3a race. For races K2 and K3, the resistant germplasm proportion remained between 66.67 to 70.83%. T he genotypic data produced SNP matrix for a total of 293,379 SNPs. After imputation the missing data was removed, which exhibited 34,724 SNPs for association analysis. GWAS results showed strong signals of association at a threshold of [-log10(P-value)] more than5 (K1 and K2) and more than4 (K3 and K3a) for nine of the 39 SNPs, which are plausible candidate loci of resistance genes. T hese SNP loci were positioned on rice chromosome 2, 9, and 11 for K1 and K2 races, whereas on chromosome 4, 6, 11, and 12 for K3 and K3a races. The significant loci detected have also been illustrated, NBS-LRR type disease resistance protein, SNARE domain containing protein, Histone deacetylase 19, NADP-dependent oxidoreductase, and other expressed and unknown proteins. Our results provide a better understanding of the distribution of genetic variation of BLB resistance to Korean pathogen races and breeding of resistant rice.
