Altered microRNA expression in bovine subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues from cattle under different diet
Download2012
Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim, He, Maolong, Jin, Weiwu
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of molecular regulators found to participate in numerous biological processes, including adipogenesis in mammals. This study aimed to evaluate the differences of miRNA expression between bovine subcutaneous (backfat) and visceral fat depots (perirenal...

Analytical considerations and biology of milk conjugated linoleic acid synthesis in the bovine
DownloadSpring 2010
Biosynthesis of milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a component of milk fat with demonstrated health benefits, requires a dietary source of PUFA. Even with PUFA supplementation, milk CLA is highly variable. Therefore, this study was aimed at identifying factors responsible for the variations in...

Cardiomyocyte antihypertrophic effect of adipocyte tissue conditioned medium from rats and its abrogation by obesity is mediated by the leptin to adiponectin ratio
Download2016
Karmazyn, Morris, Proctor, Spencer D., Mangat, Rabban, Gan, Xiaohong T., Bairwa, Suresh C., Rajapurohitam, Venkatesh
White adipocytes are known to function as endocrine organs by secreting a plethora of bioactive adipokines which can regulate cardiac function including the development of hypertrophy. We determined whether adipose tissue conditioned medium (ATCM) generated from the epididymal regions of normal...

Construction of bovine whole-genome radiation hybrid and linkage maps using high-throughput genotyping
Download2007
Williams, J. L., Moore, S. S., Wang, Z., McKay, S. D., Murdoch, B. M.
High-density whole-genome maps are essential for ordering genes or markers and aid in the assembly of genome sequence. To increase the density of markers on the bovine radiation hybrid map, and hence contribute to the assembly of the bovine genome sequence, an Illumina® BeadStation was used to...

Development of a porcine (Sus scofus) embryo-specific microarray: Annotation and validation
Download2012
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Pasternak, J. Alexander, Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Nieminen, Julie, Tsoi, Stephen, Rigault, Philippe, Sirard, Marc-André, Robert, Claude, Grant, Jason R.
Background The domestic pig is an important livestock species and there is strong interest in the factors that affect the development of viable embryos and offspring in this species. A limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in early embryonic development has inhibited our...

Drug Resistance in Breast Cancer: Characterization of Rationally Designed Paclitaxel Analogs in Model Systems
DownloadFall 2013
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer related deaths among women in the developed world. Treatment options for breast cancer include taxanes, which mediate cytotoxic effects by inducing microtubule polymerization which impedes cell division. Taxane resistant breast cancer is a mounting...

Elucidation of molecular mechanisms of physiological variations between bovine subcutaneous and visceral fat depots under different nutritional regimes
Download2013
Jin, Weiwu, He, Maolong, Guan, Leluo, Romao, Josue M., McAllister, Tim
Adipose tissue plays a critical role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. There is sparse understanding of the molecular regulation at the protein level of bovine adipose tissues, especially within different fat depots under different nutritional regimes. The objective of this study was to...

Spring 2014
Adipose tissue plays an important role in the energetic balance, but it is also an important aspect of meat quality and animal productivity. However, the understanding on how fat metabolism is regulated in beef cattle is not clear. This research aimed at exploring how bovine adipose tissue is...

Genetic and genomic basis of antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) in gilts and sows
Download2016-01-01
Serao, Nick V. L., Kemp, Robert A., Mote, Benny E., Willson, Philip, Harding, John C. S., Bishop, Stephen C., Plastow, Graham S., Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Background:Our recent research showed that antibody response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syn-drome (PRRS), measured as sample-to-positive (S/P) ratio, is highly heritable and has a high genetic correlation with reproductive performance during a PRRS outbreak. Two major quantitative...

Hsp90 and its co-chaperones regulate the activity of human Argonaute2 in RNA-mediated silencing pathways
DownloadFall 2011
The potent ability of small, double-stranded RNAs to silence gene expression was initially reported 1998, sparking revolutions in molecular biology and genetics. Since then, intensive research into the mechanism of RNA-mediated silencing has implicated the machinery of this pathway in the...
