Description
Mutations in MECP2 cause Rett syndrome (RTT), a X-linked neurological disorder characterized by the regressive loss of neurodevelopmental milestones and acquired intellectual disability and motor impairments. However, the cellular heterogeneity of the mammalian brain impedes our understanding of how MECP2 mutations disrupt neuronal function and contribute to RTT. In response, we developed cell type-specific biotin tagging in mice bearing RTT-associated mutations and profiled nuclear transcriptomes in WT and mutant neurons. Although individual gene expression changes are largely specific to each mutation and cell type, higher-level transcriptional features remain conserved and correlate with RTT phenotypic severity. Furthermore, subcellular RNA populations support post-transcriptional compensation as a basis for the upregulation of long genes previously reported in RTT mutant neurons. Finally, we overcame the genetic mosacism associated with female RTT mouse models and identified functionally distinct gene expression changes in neighboring WT and mutant neurons, which altogether provide key contextual insights into RTT. Overall design: Nuclear total RNA-seq of two types of neurons of male and female RTT mice and GRO-seq of the cortex

Description
The pituitary gland is a neuroendocrine organ that is involved in several processes within the body such as metabolism, growth, immune function, and reproduction. Increased ambient temperatures are environmental stressor that leads to several welfare concerns in poultry production but also economic losses. Because of the involvement of the pituitary gland in several processes that are affected by heat stress, it is hypothesized this tissue''s gene expression will be impacted by heat stress. The objectives of the project are to (a) identify genes that constitue the pituitary gland when compared to other collected chicken tissues (Insert tissues) and (b) identify genes that respond to heat stress via differential expression analysis to better understand the chicken''s response to heat at the transcriptomic level. Overall design: Ross 708 broiler chickens were raised from day of hatch to day 42, typical market age, on the University of Delaware farm. Birds were placed into two separate houses, one thermoneutral house and one experimental (heat stress) house. Both houses were kept at 23 hours of light and 1 hour of dark and birds were placed on litter and given feed (meeting all NRC requirements) and water with ad libitum access. Both houses were kept at 35 degrees celsius for the first week and the temperature was decreased 5 degrees celsius each week until 25 degrees celsius. The thermoneutral hosue was maintained at 25 degrees celsius for the remainder of the study. Starting on day 21, the experimental house began a cyclical heat stress scheme with 8 hours per day of increased temperatures (35 - 37 degrees celsius) through completion of the trial at day 42. Necropsies were performed at several points throughout the trial (days 21, 22, 26, 32, and 42).

Description
To investigate specific miRNA expression profiles of Marek's disease virus (MDV)-infected samples, we performed deep sequencing for miRNAs in four small RNA libraries, including MDV-infected tumorous spleen, MD lymphoma from liver, and non-infected spleen and lymphocytes from controls. A total of 7.76x106, 6.36x106, 6.36x106, and 7.60x106 counts were obtained in four libraries, respectively. The sequences were blasted with chicken and MDV genomes and miRBase 16.0 to identify known and novel miRNAs. In total, 187 and 16 known mature miRNAs were identified in the chicken and MDV, respectively. Deep sequencing detected 942 novel chicken miRNA candidates, of which 646 were in tumorous spleen. These results indicate that MDV infection induced new host miRNA candidates and increased diversity of miRNAs. Of 942 miRNA candidates, 276 of 533 were verified by customized microarray, and 17 of them were further confirmed by qPCR. Overall design: Four samples examined: MDV-infected tumorous spleen, MD lymphoma from liver, Non-infected spleen, Non-infected lymphocytes

Description
Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) is considered one of the most common infectious bacterial diseases resulting in significant economic losses in poultry industry worldwide. In order to investigate the association between host immune resistance and miRNA expression in the pathogenic process induced by APEC, miRNA expression profiles in broilers spleen were performed by Solexa deep sequencing from three different treatment groups including non-challenged (NC), challenged-mild pathology (MD), and challenged-severe pathology (SV).In total, 3 462 706, 3 586 689, and 3 591 027 clean reads were obtained for NC, MD, and SV, respectively. After comparing the miRNA expression patterns, 27 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified among the three response groups, which included 13 miRNAs between NC and MD, 17 between NC and SV, and 14 between MD and SV. For these miRNAs, different expression in MD and SV suggested they may have resistance activity in APEC infection. Through integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression patterns, 43 negative pairs between miRNA and mRNA (r < -0.80) were obtained. 4 miRNAs were validated to be significant negatively correlated to targets by quantitative real time PCR: gga-miR-21 (CLEC3B and GGTLA1), gga-miR-429 (TMEFF2, CDC20, SHISA2 and NOX4), gga-miR-146b (LAT2 and WNK1), and gga-miR-215 (C7 and ASL2). Additionally, the expression of gga-miR-21 and gga-miR-146b was significantly up-regulated by LPS induced in HD11 macrophage cell. In contrast, gga-miR-429 has no significant change. In summary, we present the first report that characterized the miRNA profiles of chicken spleen in response to APEC infection, and identified several candidate miRNAs which might accelerate host immune response through down-regulating their specific target genes. Overall design: Through the intra-air sac route into the left thoracic air sac, 240 non-vaccinated males at 4 weeks of age were challenged with 0.1 ml APEC O1 (10^8 colony forming units) and another 120 non-vaccinated males were non-challenged but treated with 0.1 ml PBS. Detailed information on the APEC O1 strain and challenge process was described by previously described study. Necropsy was performed at 1 day post challenge, and a summarized lesion ranging from 0 to 7 was determined for each APEC-challenged bird. Birds with lesions scoring 0-2 were regarded as mild infection, and those scoring 4-7 were designated as severe infection. The mild and severe pathology meant that birds were resistant and susceptible to APEC infection, respectively. Then, spleens from three groups, consisting of non-challenged, challenged-mild pathology and challenged-severe pathology were subjected to Solexa deep sequencing to investigate the dynamics of chicken miRNA expression.

Description
Domestic chicken has been intensively studied because of its role as an efficient source of lean meat. However, commercial broilers resulting from genetic selection for rapid growth demonstrate detrimental traits, such as excess deposition of abdominal adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and reduced reproduction. Therefore fast-growing broilers represent obese chickens compared to slow-growing egg layers (e.g, Leghorn) or wild strain of meat-type chickens (e.g., Fayoumi). Fayoumi chickens, originating from Egypt, represent a harder stain of chickens, which are more resistant to diseases. Leghorn chickens are the original breed of commercial U.S layers. Both lines were maintained highly inbred by Iowa State University poultry geneticists with an inbreeding coefficient higher than 0.95. Both Fayoumi and Leghorn demonstrated lean phenotype compared to broilers, and these three lines of chickens are genetically distant from each other.

Description
The concept of age-dependent host control of cancer development raises the natural question of how these effects manifest across the host tissue/organ types with which a tumor interacts, one important component of which is the aging immune system. To investigate this, changes in the spleen, an immune nexus in the mouse, was examined for its age-dependent interactive influence on the carcinogenesis process. The model is the C57BL/6 male mice (adolescent, young adult, middle-aged, and old or 68, 143, 551 and 736 days old respectively) with and without a syngeneic murine tumor implant. Through global transcriptome analysis, immune-related functions were found to be key regulators in the spleen associated with tumor progression as a function of age with CD2, CD3, CCL19, and CCL5 being the key molecules involved. Surprisingly, other than CCL5, all key factors and immune-related functions were not active in spleens from non-tumor bearing old mice. Our findings of age-dependent tumor-spleen signaling interaction suggest the existence of a global role of the aging host in carcinogenesis. Suggested is a new avenue for therapeutic improvement that capitalizes on the pervasive role of host aging in dictating the course of this disease.
