Comparative transcriptomic analysis of rectal tissue from beef steers revealed reduced host immunity in Escherichia coli O157:H7 super-shedders
Download2016-03-09
McAllister, Tim A., Wang, Ou, Plastow, Graham, Stanford, Kim, Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Le L., Selinger, Brent
Super-shedder cattle are a major disseminator of E. coli O157:H7 into the environment, and the terminal rectum has been proposed as the primary E. coli O157:H7 colonization site. This study aimed to identify host factors that are associated with the super-shedding process by comparing...

Genetic architecture of gene expression underlying variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
Download2017-04-10
Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Choi, Igseo, Reecy, James M., Koltes, James E., Fritz-Waters, Elyn, Eisley, Chris J., Grant, Jason R., Rowland, Robert R. R., Tuggle, Christopher K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Lunney, Joan K., Guan, Le Luo, Stothard, Paul, Plastow, Graham S.
It has been shown that inter-individual variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has a heritable component, yet little is known about the underlying genetic architecture of gene expression in response to PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection. Here, we integrated...

Genome-wide whole blood microRNAome and transcriptome analyses revealed miRNA-mRNA regulated host response to foodborne pathogen Salmonella infection in swine
Download2015-07-31
Arantes, Adriano S., Tuggle, Christopher K., Guan, Le L., Bearson, Shawn M.D., Sun, Xu, Plastow, Graham S., Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Stothard, Paul, Liang, Guanxiang
To understand the role of miRNAs in regulating genes involved in host response to bacterial infection and shedding of foodborne pathogens, a systematic profiling of miRNAs and mRNAs from the whole blood of pigs upon Salmonella challenge was performed. A total of 62 miRNAs were differentially...

Genomic Prediction of Piglet Responses to Infection with One or Two Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Isolates
Download2018-01-01
Waide, Emily H., Tuggle, Christopher K., Serao, Nick V. I., Schroyen, Martine, Hess, Andrew, Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Plastow, Graham, Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Genomic prediction of the pig’s response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) would be a useful tool in the swine industry. This study investigated the accuracy of genomic prediction based on porcine SNP60 Beadchip data using training and validation datasets...

Kinome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected prior to vaccination reveals biomarkers and potential mechanisms of vaccine unresponsiveness in pigs
Download2020-12-01
Lipsit, Sean W. L., Wilkinson, James, Scruten, Erin, Facciuolo, Antonio, Denomy, Connor, Griebel, Philip J., Kusalik, Anthony, Plastow, Graham, Napper, Scott
Inter-individual variance in host immune responses following vaccination can result in failure to develop protective immunity leaving individuals at risk for infection in addition to compromising herd immunity. While developing more efficacious vaccines is one strategy to mitigate this problem,...

Potential regulatory role of microRNAs in the development of bovine gastrointestinal tract during early life
Download2014
Liang, Guanxiang, Bao, Hua, Guan, Leluo, Griebel, Philip J., Stothard, Paul, McFadden, Thomas B., Malmuthuge, Nilusha
This study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of miRNAs in the development of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) during the early life of dairy calves. Rumen and small intestinal (mid-jejunum and ileum) tissue samples were collected from newborn (30 min after birth; n = 3), 7-day-old...

Roles of small RNAs in the effects of nutrition on apoptosis and spermatogenesis in the adult testis
Download2015
Malecki, Irek A., Martin, Graeme B., Cozens, Greg, Hawken, Penelope A.R., Liang, Guanxiang, Guan, Yongjuan, Vercoe, Philip E., Guan, Le Luo
We tested whether reductions in spermatozoal quality induced by under-nutrition are associated with increased germ cell apoptosis and disrupted spermatogenesis, and whether these effects are mediated by small RNAs. Groups of 8 male sheep were fed for a 10% increase or 10% decrease in body mass...

Systematic microRNAome profiling reveals the roles of microRNAs in milk protein metabolism and quality: Insights on low-quality forage utilization
Download2016
Wang, Diming, Sun, Huizeng, Liu, Jianxin, Guan, Le Luo, Wang, Bing, Liang, Guanxiang
In this study, we investigated the molecular regulatory mechanisms of milk protein production in dairy cows by studying the miRNAomes of five key metabolic tissues involved in protein synthesis and metabolism from dairy cows fed high- and low-quality diets. In total, 340, 338, 337, 330, and 328...

Background:Gene expression profiling in blood is a potential source of biomarkers to evaluate or predict phenotypic differences between pigs but is expensive and inefficient because of the high abundance of globin mRNA in porcine blood. These limitations can be overcome by the use of QuantSeq...
