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...

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...

Characterization of the altered gene expression profile in early porcine embryos generated from parthenogenesis and somatic cell chromatin transfer
Download2014
Dobrinsky, John, Zhou, Chi, Dixon, Walter T., Dyck, Michael K., Stothard, Paul, Foxcroft, George R., Tsoi, Stephen, Verstegen, John
The in vitro production of early porcine embryos is of particular scientific and economic interest. In general, embryos produced from in vitro Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) manipulations, such as somatic cell chromatin transfer (CT) and parthenogenetic activation (PA), are less...

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...

Differential expression of miRNAs in Brassica napus root following infection with Plasmodiophora brassicae
Download2014
Basu, Urmila, Verma, Shiv, Rahman, Muhammad H., Deyholos, Michael K., Kav, Nat N. V.
Canola (oilseed rape, Brassica napus L.) is susceptible to infection by the biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, the causal agent of clubroot. To understand the roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) during the post-transcriptional regulation of disease initiation and progression, we have...

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...

Genome wide identification and functional prediction of long non-coding RNAs responsive to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection in Brassica napus
Download2016
Rahman, Muhammad H., Megha, Swati, Joshi, Raj K., Basu, Urmila, Kav, Nat N. V.
Sclerotinia stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum affects canola production worldwide. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in plants, in response to both abiotic and biotic stress. So far, identification of...

NPAS3 encodes a transcription factor of the bHLH-PAS family, which has been robustly associated with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders with intellectual disability as a common feature. NPAS3 was initially discovered as a schizophrenia-associated gene in a family with a translocation...

Xie, Changping, Albrecht, Elke, Wegner, Jochen J., Brockmann, Gudrun A., Kazala, Christopher, Weselake, Randall J., Ender, Klaus
Leptin is a hormone involved in the regulation of feed intake and energy balance in animals. The expression and secretion of leptin is highly correlated with body fat mass and adipocyte size. The regulation of leptin is integrated into a broad regulatory network including other hormones and...

Lipid metabolism, adipocyte depot physiology and utilization of meat animals as experimental models for metabolic research
Download2010-01-01
Dodson, Michael V., Hausman, Gary J., Guan, LeLuo, Du, Min, Rasmussen, Theodore P., Poulos, Sylvia P., Mir, Priya, Bergen, Werner G., Fernyhough, Melinda E., McFarland, Douglas C., Rhoads, Robert P., Soret, Beatrice, Reecy, James M., Velleman, Sandra G., Jiang, Zhihua
Meat animals are unique as experimental models for both lipid metabolism and adipocyte studies because of their direct economic value for animal production. This paper discusses the principles that regulate adipogenesis in major meat animals (beef cattle, dairy cattle, and pigs), the definition...
