To understand the genetic variants in horses, CNVs from six Indian horse breeds, namely, Manipuri, Zanskari, Bhutia, Spiti, Kathiawari and Marwari were discovered using Axiom™ Equine Genotyping Array. These breeds differed in agro-climatic adaptation with distinct phenotypic characters. A total of 2668 autosomal CNVs and 381 CNV regions (CNVRs) were identified with PennCNV tool. DeepCNV was employed to re-validate to get 883 autosomal CNVs, of which 9.06% were singleton type. A total of 180 CNVRs were identified after DeepCNV filtering with the estimated length of 3.12 Kb-4.90 Mb. The functional analysis showed the majority of the CNVRs genes enriched for sensory perception and olfactory receptor activity. An Equine CNVs database, EqCNVdb (http://backlin.cabgrid.res.in/eqcnvdb/) was developed which catalogues detailed information on the horse CNVs, CNVRs and gene content within CNVRs. Also, three random CNVRs were validated with real-time polymerase chain reaction. These findings will aid in the understanding the horse genome and serve as a preliminary foundation for future CNV association research with commercially significant equine traits. The identification of CNVs and CNVRs would lead to better insights into genetic basis of important traits.","PeriodicalId":7836,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biotechnology","volume":"36 1","pages":"2446251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the correlation between the CUBN and MIA3 CNVs and growth traits in Chinese cattle. qRT-PCR was used to detect the distribution of CUBN and MIA3 CNV and the expression levels of their mRNA, and correlation analysis was conducted between CNV and growth traits. The CUBN was differentially expressed in different breeds of cattle, and CUBN CNV correlated significantly with body height, hip height, body slanting length, and hip width of Grassland Red cattle (CYH); eye muscle area of Yanbian cattle (YB) and Yan Yellow cattle (YH). MIA3 showed no CNV in CYH and YB cattle, and only one deletion type occurred in YH cattle. CUBN and MIA3 mRNA have different expression patterns in different cattle breeds and tissues. In conclusion, CUBN CNV is correlated significantly with growth traits in Chinese cattle and is a novel molecular marker that could be exploited in cattle breeding.","PeriodicalId":7836,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biotechnology","volume":"36 1","pages":"2450355"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143051373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the gluteus maximus tissue of three WT and four MSTN KO rabbits, we analyzed the expression profiles of circRNAs and lncRNAs. After identifying the differently expressed RNAs, the biological pathways implicated were ascertained by performing enrichment analysis using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO). We identified differences in the expression of 251 circRNAs (79 upregulated and 172 downregulated), 176 lncRNAs (53 upregulated and 123 downregulated), and 1178 mRNAs (408 upregulated and 770 downregulated) between WT and MSTN KO rabbits. Target genes were significantly enriched in pathways associated with protein synthesis and catabolism, such as oxidative phosphorylation, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, the FoxO signaling pathway, and the pentose phosphate pathway, as identified through GO and KEGG enrichment analyses. The constructed network indicates that a class of circRNAs and lncRNAs is engaged in MSTN-mediated regulation of skeletal muscle development.

We characterized the MpMu-MSCs based on their cellular morphology, proliferation properties, cell surface marker expression, and mesodermal differentiation potential. MpMu-MSCs demonstrated a fibroblast-like spindle shape and formed a homogeneous monolayer. They showed a considerable increase in cell proliferation over 16 passages. The cells expressed surface markers CD29, CD44, CD90, and CD105 and demonstrated mesodermal lineage differentiation capabilities. MpMu-MSCs demonstrated faster cytopathic effects than the Vero cells when infected with Aujeszky's virus. The virus titer in MpMu-MSCs was initiated at 101.4 TCID50/ml at 12 h post-infection (hpi) and increased to 106.6 TCID50/ml at 72 hpi. In Vero cells, it was initiated at 102.3 TCID50/ml at 48 hpi and increased to 103.8 TCID50/ml at 72 hpi.

This study examined the association between ZP3 gene variations and LS in Kari sheep. Two groups of 160 Kari ewes were analysed: one consistently producing singletons and another producing twins, with occasional triplets. Additionally, Madakhlasht sheep, which sometimes produce twins, and Balkhi sheep, which produce only singletons, were used as references. The entire ZP3 gene was amplified using PCR and sequenced at 30× with Next Generation Sequencing. Bioinformatics analysis identified 70 variants across the three breeds, located in upstream regions, introns, and exons. Notably, two point mutations and a six-nucleotide insertion were found upstream of the initiation codon in twin-producing Kari ewes, potentially affecting ZP3 expression and LS. Two missense mutations (I101L in exon 1 and R408H in exon 8) were heterozygous in twin-producing Kari ewes but homozygous in other groups, correlating with LS. Protein modelling suggested that the I101L mutation alters the binding site, potentially impacting protein function. These findings indicate that ZP3 gene variations influence reproductive efficiency and LS in sheep, with specific variants serving as potential markers for selective breeding to enhance LS.","PeriodicalId":7836,"journal":{"name":"Animal Biotechnology","volume":"36 1","pages":"2450364"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143031786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results confirmed the successful isolation of SSF. Human (hTERT) and sheep (sTERT) telomerase reverse transcriptase vectors were separately introduced into SSF, with cells passaged up to 36 generations following G418 selection. Microscopic examination and qRT-PCR results demonstrated that TERT transfection did not alter the morphology of SSF and led to stable, high levels of TERT expression (P < 0.01). Cell counting and flow cytometry revealed that TERT-transfected cells had higher viability and lower apoptosis rates compared to SSF (P < 0.05). Karyotype and soft agar colony formation assays indicated that hTERT and sTERT-transfected cells maintained normal characteristics without malignant transformation. β-galactosidase staining indicated that TERT transfection significantly reduced cellular senescence (P < 0.001). Additionally, sTERT-transfected cells exhibited higher TERT expression, enhanced viability, proliferation, and anti-senescence effects compared to hTERT-transfected cells (P < 0.05). In summary, the introduction of hTERT and sTERT effectively extends the lifespan of SSF, with sTERT demonstrating a more pronounced effect.

Initial resequencing analyses in our laboratory indicated strong selective pressures on the IGF2BP1 genomic region, prompting the selection and identification of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Seven SNPs were mapped to the conserved region of the second intron, necessitating further investigation into their functional relevance and association with growth traits. In this study, 348 Nanjiang Yellow goats were analyzed, and the association analysis via the GLM program in SAS 9.4 identified five SNPs significantly correlated with growth traits. Notably, rs652062749(A > G) emerged as a critical locus influencing later-stage growth traits. Furthermore, strong linkage disequilibrium was observed among three SNPs, with the rs638185407 (T > A) variant markedly enhancing luciferase activity in H293T cells. Combination genotypes TTAACT, TTCCCC, and ATCACT were identified as superior for growth traits, offering theoretical insights for genetic co-breeding.
