- Semen quality traits in chickens are critical indicators reflecting reproductive efficiency, breeding progress, and economic profitability in the poultry industry. Understanding the genetic architecture and enabling targeted genetic improvement of these traits are essential for enhancing poultry production efficiency. In this study, we estimated genetic parameters and performed weighted single-step GWAS for five semen traits in RIR chickens to reveal their genetic architecture and identify key candidate genes and QTLs associated with semen quality. The results showed that heritability estimates for SEVOL, SECON, SPMOT, SPABR, and SPCOUNT ranged from 0.097 to 0.322, indicating low to moderate heritability. 29 significant QTL regions and 12 candidate genes (NFKB1, UBE2D3, PPP3CA, EIF4E, H2AFZ, DOCK2, MTNR1A, TACC3, ADCYAP1, GFRA1, ABLIM1, and CASP7) associated with semen traits were identified by WssGWAS. These QTL regions were located on chromosomes 4 and 13 for SEVOL, chromosome 4 for SPMOT, and chromosomes 2 and 6 for SPABR. Interestingly, four prominent consecutive QTL regions were shared between SEVOL and SPMOT. These QTL were located at 59.83-61.43 Mb, explaining 11.55% and 16.33% of the genetic variance for SEVOL and SPMOT, respectively. The largest-effect SNPs within these four QTL intervals exhibited significant effects on both semen volume and sperm motility, and these markers could be used for marker-assisted selection of semen traits. This study provides further insights into the genetic architecture of chicken semen traits, improves our understanding of their molecular regulation, and identifies valuable QTL and candidate genes. These findings offer a scientific basis for genetic improvement and marker-assisted selection of semen quality. - Source: PubMed

Han CaoZhao ZhuoZhao XinghanJiang JiyongZhong TaoFang YiLiang HaidongSong Wenji - Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative disease characterized by cartilage degradation and synovial inflammation with limited therapeutic options. In our study, cell-free fat extract (CEFFE), a bioactive fraction derived from adipose tissue, is evaluated as a therapeutic strategy for TMJOA. In chondrocytes, CEFFE enhances proliferation and viability, attenuates inflammatory apoptosis, and preserves extracellular matrix homeostasis by upregulating Col2a1 and Sox9 while suppressing matrix metalloproteinases. Integrated transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses demonstrate that CEFFE reduces the activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) binding at the promoter of actin binding LIM protein 1 (ABLIM1) via repressing ATF3-binding chromatin accessibility, thereby inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling. In a rat model of TMJOA, intra-articular administration of CEFFE alleviates cartilage degeneration, subchondral bone loss, and synovitis, without systemic toxicity. CEFFE also suppresses pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization and decreases interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α expression in synovial tissue. These findings identify CEFFE as a dual-target therapeutic agent that modulates both chondrocytes and macrophages through epigenetic regulation of ATF3/ABLIM1/NF-κB signaling. Our study highlights CEFFE as a safe and accessible biomaterial with potential for clinical translation as a regenerative and anti-inflammatory strategy for TMJOA. - Source: PubMed

Zhang DaheKang BijunWan ShaonanLiu XiaohanXia SimoZhang YuxinZhang WenjieShen PeiYang Chi - Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a fatal cardiovascular disease with no effective drug treatment currently available. The aberrant expression levels of microRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) contribute to AAA pathogenesis. In the present study, miRNA microarray analysis was performed to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in the aortas of AAA mice compared with those in control mice, and to clarify the role and mechanism of miRNA‑378a‑5p (miR‑378a‑5p) in the AAA development. A comprehensive miRNA microarray analysis was conducted to screen for differentially expressed miRNAs in the aortas of AAA mice and control mice. Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of miR‑378a‑5p in the serum and aortas of patients with AAA and mice. To clarify the role of miR‑378a‑5p in the AAA development , miR‑378a‑5p antagomir and angomir were administered to ApoE‑/‑ mice using tail venous injection, followed by Angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion. Next, the role of miR‑378a‑5p in the phenotypic switching and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was examined and . Mechanistically, the targets of miR‑378a‑5p were identified by bioinformatics analysis, luciferase assay, RT‑qPCR and western blotting. Co‑immunoprecipitation assay combined with mass spectrometry were carried out for excavating potential downstream effectors. The expression of miR‑378a‑5p was decreased in the serum and aortas of patients with AAA (aortic dissection) and mice, and tumor necrosis factor‑α‑treated VSMCs. , the antagomir‑378a‑5p aggravated AAA formation, as evidenced by a larger maximal aortic diameter and greater medial elastin degradation than in control mice. miR‑378a‑5p angomir had the opposite effect. , miR‑378a‑5p overexpression significantly promoted the contraction ability and suppressed the migration of VSMCs, whereas miR‑378a‑5p knockdown inhibited the contraction ability and increased the migration of VSMCs. Mechanistically, it was identified that miR‑378a‑5p played a protective role in AAA development by regulating actin‑binding LIM protein 1 (ABLIM1)‑megakaryoblastic leukemia 1 (MKL1) pathway. miR‑378a‑5p exerts protective effects against AAA by maintaining VSMCs homeostasis via the ABLIM1‑MKL1 pathway. Therefore, targeting miR‑378a‑5p may be an attractive therapeutic strategy for AAA treatment. - Source: PubMed

Wang JingZou YujiaWang YaniYang ZhemingLiu DaoshenSu XiaolinSong HaixuXu KaiYan ChenghuiLiu DanHan Yaling - Xizang sheep are vital economic livestock in plateau regions. Traditional surgical castration often induces stress and infection. Although immunization presents an alternative method, the physiological mechanisms underlying its effects in Xizang sheep remain unclear. Therefore, this study integrated serum immune-antioxidant indicators with hypothalamus-pituitary transcriptomics to investigate molecular mechanisms of GnRH immunization. Results indicated that serum IgA, IgG, IgM, SOD, and GSH in the immunization (IM) group were significantly higher than in control (CON) and surgical castration (SN) groups, while IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly reduced ( < 0.05). RNA-seq analysis revealed that hypothalamic , , , , and were significantly upregulated in IM group, whereas and were significantly downregulated, with notable enrichment in prion disease, oxidative phosphorylation, and thermogenesis pathways. Pituitary was upregulated while , , , , and were significantly downregulated, showing enrichment in myofibril, contractile fiber, sarcomere, and cytosolic ribosome pathways. Association analysis revealed significant positive correlations between IgG and pituitary , , , as well as hypothalamic , , and . In summary, GnRH immunization outperforms surgical castration by modulating hypothalamic-pituitary genes and enhancing immunity and antioxidants in plateau Xizang sheep, achieving integrated neuroendocrine-immune regulation for healthy husbandry of plateau Xizang sheep. - Source: PubMed
