Objective: This study aimed to determine the protective efficacy of Buddha's Temple (BT) extract against tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative stress in Gallus gallus chicken embryo fibroblast cell line (DF-1) and its effects on the cell lipid metabolism. Methods: In this experimental study, Gallus gallus DF-1 fibroblast cells were pretreated with BT 10^-7 for 24 hours, followed by their six-hour exposure to t-BHP (100 μM). Water-soluble tetrazolium salt-8 (WST-8) assays were performed, and the growth curve was computed. The intracellular gene expression changes caused by BT extract were confirmed through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Flow cytometry, oil red O staining experiment, and thin-layer chromatography were performed for the detection of intracellular metabolic mechanism changes. Results: The WST-8 assay results showed that the BT pretreatment of Gallus gallus DF-1 fibroblast cell increased their cell survival rate by 1.08%±0.04%, decreased the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level by 0.93%±0.12% even after exposure to oxidants, and stabilized mitochondrial activity by 1.37%±0.36%. In addition, qPCR results confirmed that the gene expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), TIR domain-containing adapter inducing IFN-beta (TICAM1), and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) were regulated, which contributed to cell stabilization. Thin-layer chromatography and oil red O analyses showed a clear decrease in the contents of lipid metabolites such as triacylglycerol and free fatty acids. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed that the examined BT extract exerted selective protective effects on Gallus gallus DF-1 fibroblast cells against cell damage caused by t-BHP, which is a strong oxidative inducer. Furthermore, we established that this extract significantly reduced the intracellular ROS accumulation due to oxidative stress, which contributes to an increase in poultry production and higher incomes.

Recently, there has been a growing body of evidence showing that cellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in virus-host interactions. Numerous studies have focused on analyses of the expression profiles of cellular miRNAs, but the expression patterns of Dicer, which is responsible for the generation of miRNAs, have only rarely been explored in Gallus gallus. We developed a duplex real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for the relative quantification of the mRNAs of Dicer and ${\beta}$-actin in G. gallus. To apply this method, the expression of Dicer in avian cells after infection with avian leukosis virus subgroup J (ALV-J) was detected using our established duplex real-time RT-PCR. The duplex real-time RT-PCR assay is sufficiently sensitive, specific, accurate, reproducible, and cost-effective for the detection of Dicer in G. gallus. Furthermore, this study, for the first time, demonstrated that ALV-J can induce differential expression of Dicer mRNA in the ALV-J-infected cells.

본 연구는 연산 오골계의 물 추출물을 이용하여 MG-63 조골세포와 RAW 264.7 파골세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 조골세포의 분화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 ALP 활성 분석과 alizarin red 염색을 통해 골 석회화를 측정하였다. 그리고 RAW 264.7 파골세포의 분화 억제 활성을 확인하기 위해 TRAP 활성과 염색을 분석 측정하였다. 연산 오골계 물 추출물을 농도별($250-1,000{\mu}g/ml$)로 처리한 결과 조골세포와 파골세포에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. ALP 활성은 3년산 암탉 육질이 133.8%, 3년산 수탉 육질은 129.6%로 육질이 껍질보다 조골세포 분화력이 높았다. 그리고 육질에서는 3년산이 1년산보다 ALP 활성이 높으나 껍질에서는 1년산이 3년산보다 조골세포 분화능력이 높았다. 성별 간 ALP 활성은 전체적으로 암탉이 수탉보다 높은 ALP 활성을 보였다. 또한, 골 석회화 능력은 3년산 암탉 육질이 연령과 성별을 통틀어 124.3%로 가장 뛰어났으며 TRAP 활성은 3년산 수탉 육질이 31.8%로 연령과 성별을 통틀어 억제 활성이 가장 뛰어났다. 연산 오골계 물 추출물은 조골세포 분화능력이 뛰어나 골의 석회화를 촉진하는 능력이 뛰어났으며 파골세포의 분화를 억제하여 골 흡수를 억제하는 능력이 뛰어났다. 이에 연산 오골계는 골 기능 강화와 골 관련 질환에 대한 예방과 치료에 효과가 있을 것으로 보인다.

Objective: Complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of four Thai indigenous chicken varieties, including Pra-dhu-hang-dam (PD), Leung-hang-khao (LK), Chee (CH), and Dang (DA) were explored for genetic diversity and relationships with their potential ancestor and possible associates to address chicken domestication in Thailand. Methods: A total of 220 complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of the four Thai indigenous chicken varieties were obtained by Sanger direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction amplicons of 1,231 to 1,232 base pair in size. A neighbor-joining dendrogram was constructed with reference complete mtDNA D-loop sequences of Red Junglefowl (RJF) and those different chicken breeds available on National Center for Biotechnology Information database. Genetic diversity indices and neutrality test by Tajima's D test were performed. Genetic differences both within and among populations were estimated using analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA). Pairwise fixation index ($F_{ST}$) was conducted to evaluated genetic relationships between these varieties. Results: Twenty-three identified haplotypes were classified in six haplogroups (A-E and H) with the majority clustered in haplogroup A and B. Each variety was in multiple haplogroups with haplogroups A, B, D, and E being shared by all studied varieties. The averaged haplotype and nucleotide diversities were, respectively 0.8607 and 0.00579 with non-significant Tajima's D values being observed in all populations. Haplogroup distribution was closely related to that of RJF particularly Gallus gallus gallus (G. g. gallus) and G. g. spadiceus. As denoted by AMOVA, the mean diversity was mostly due to within-population variation (90.53%) while between-population variation (9.47%) accounted for much less. By pairwise $F_{ST}$, LK was most closely related to DA ($F_{ST}=0.00879$) while DA was farthest from CH ($F_{ST}=0.24882$). Conclusion: All 4 Thai indigenous chickens are in close relationship with their potential ancestor, the RJF. A contribution of shared, multiple maternal lineages was in the nature of these varieties, which have been domesticated under neutral selection.

본 연구에서는 닭의 정소 및 정자에 대한 기능 유전체 연구를 위한 자원을 확보할 수 있도록 정소 특이적유전자로 예상되는 후보 염기서열을 분석하였다. TIGR Gallus gallus Gene Index 상의 데이터베이스에서 닭의 정소에서만 나타나는 것으로 공개된 EST 염기서열을 검색하여 나온 총 292개의 서열을 선택하였으며, 이와 같이 선별된 서열들에 대하여 닭의 정소와 난소를 포함한 다양한 조직에서 전사체의 발현을 검증하였다. 결과에서, 총 292개의 염기서열 중 110개가 정소 특이적인 발현을 나타내었다. Tentative consensus sequence (TC) 상에서 집합된 EST의 수와 정소 특이적으로 발현하는 TCs의 수 사이의 상관관계는 발견되지 않았다. Gene Ontology 데이터베이스 용어를 이용하여 분류한 결과에서는 정소특이적인 TC는 닭의 전체 TC를 분류한 것과 비교하면 catalytic activity (Molecular Functionbranch)의 카테고리에 많은 수의 TC가 포함된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 닭의 정소 특이적 유전자에 대한 연구와 그 기능 분석을 보다 더욱 촉진시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The liver extract of chicks, Gallus domesticus, suffering from hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) was inoculated intraperitoneally into healthy chicks to produce HPS. After inoculation the blood serum and the pericardial fluid of the newly infected chicks were analyzed, at regular intervals for a total period of 72 hours for concentration of proteins, $K^+$ ions, $Na^+$ ions and the LDH activity. The protein content was significantly decreased both in the blood serum (30%) and the pericardial fluid (39%) within 24 hours of inoculation, which was then maintained during the subsequent period. The $K^+$ ions and the LDH activity, on the other hand, were significantly increased in the blood serum (26% and 169%, respectively) as well as the pericardial fluid (131% and 217%, respectively) within 24 hours of inoculation. After 72 hours this increase was, respectively, 43% and 191% in blood serum, and 153% and 200% in the pericardial fluid. Accumulation of $K^+$ ions, and decrease of protein and $Na^+$ ions in the pericardial fluid indicate homoestatic imbalance, which may prove fatal. The increased LDH activity is indicative of heptocytic damage.

Hexavalent chromium (CrVI) was fed to one day old chicks of Gallus domesticus in the form of different concentrations (250 and 500 mg/kg feed) of potassium dichromate mixed with the feed, ad libitum, for 32 weeks. After 20 weeks of feeding, the total body weight was higher in the low dose (260 mg/kg (feed) group and lower in the high dose (500 mg/kg feed) group, as compared with the control chicks. After 32 weeks of feeding, however, the total body weight was significantly decreased in both the treated groups. Egg laying was enhanced. Fertility remained unaffected, whereas hatchability was considerably decreased after CrVI-treatment. The egg shell thickness increased significantly (13%). Cr was deposited in a dose dependent manner in the liver and lungs. Some structural derangements in liver were also noted in treated chicks. The results of this study i.e., rapid ageing, excessive Cr deposition, decreased hatchability and hepatotoxicity indicate toxic effects of CrVI.
