View SamplesToxoplasma infection can cause damage to the male reproductive system, such as sexual dysfunction and infertility. The epididymis is an important accessory organ of male reproductive system, where sperm maturation and storage take place. Sperm maturation in the epididymis is a highly programmed process, which may be affected by the epididymis microenvironment. Therefore, studying the epididymis characteristics is important for identification of factors affecting sperm maturation. However, studies investigating the differential expression genes of host and Toxoplasma gondii by transcriptome sequencing of the male reproductive system are limited. The main objective of this study was to examine differential gene expression by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology in order to identify key genes associated with Toxoplasma gondii (PRU strain) chronic infection of the epididymis in male Kunming mice.

View SamplesGlobal gene experssion study of the HAEC transcriptional response to artificial chlyomicron remnant-like particles (A-CRLPs) prepared with triglycerides extracted from four natural dietary oils: fish, DHASCO, corn and palm oils. We hypothesised that A-CRLPs could differentially regulate HAEC gene expression according to thier triglyceride content. These data provide an important starting point for investigations into the effects of A-CRLPs on endothelial cells, particulary genes involved in redox balance and inflammatory processes.

View SamplesInfection with non-cytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) is associated with uterine disease and infertility. This study investigated the influence of ncpBVDV on immune functions of the bovine endometrium by testing the response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at the level of whole-transcriptomic gene expression. Analysis showed that approximately 30% of the 1,006 genes altered by LPS are involved in immune response. Many innate immune genes that typically respond to LPS were inhibited by ncpBVDV including those involved in pathogen recognition, inflammation, interferon response, chemokines, tissue remodeling, cell migration and cell death/survival. Infection with ncpBVDV can thus compromise immune function and pregnancy recognition thereby potentially predisposing infected cows to postpartum bacterial endometritis and reduced fertility.

View SamplesMost dairy cows suffer uterine microbial contamination postpartum. Persistent endometritis often develops, associated with reduced fertility. We used a model of differential feeding and milking regimes to produce cows in differing negative energy balance (NEB) status in early lactation.

View SamplesThe bursa of Fabricius is an immune organ unique to birds and possesses a specialized micro-environment that supports the differentiation of B cells and production of antibodies but, it can be damaged by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from Salmonella typhimurium, one of the most deleterious food-borne pathogens. However, its mechanism of action at transcriptional level is poorly known yet. Therefore, the current project was designed and bursa of Fabricius from newly hatched chicks were sequenced at 12, 36 and 72 hours post saline and LPS treatments with 3 replications at each time point.
