Abstract
Hyriopsis cumingii is an important species for freshwater pearl cultivation in China. In terms of pearl production, males have larger pearls and better glossiness than females, but there are few reports focusing on the sex of H. cumingii. In this study, six mRNA and six microRNA (miRNA) libraries were prepared from ovaries and testes. Additionally, 28,502 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 32 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were identified. Compared with testis, 14,360 mRNAs and 20 miRNAs were up-regulated in ovary, 14,142 mRNAs and 12 miRNAs were down-regulated. In DEGs, the known genes related to sex determinism and/or differentiation were also identified, such as DMRT1, SOX9, SF1 for males, FOXL2 for females, and other potentially significant candidate genes. Three sex-related pathways have also been identified, which are Wnt, Notch, and TGF-beta. In 32 DEMs, the three miRNAs (miR-9-5p, miR-92, miR-184) were paid more attention, they predicted 28 target genes, which may also be candidates for sex-related miRNAs and genes. Differential miRNAs target genes analysis reveals the pathway associated with oocyte meiosis and spermatogenesis. Overall, the findings of the study provide significant insights to enhance our understanding of sex differentiation and/or sex determination mechanisms for H. cumingii.

Abstract
High temperature is one of the most common environmental stressors plaguing animal husbandry worldwide. Little is known about the regulatory roles of miRNAs in response to heat stress in laying hens. To systematically identify heat stress-responsive miRNAs and their targets in laying hens, the differential expression of miRNAs and mRNAs was compared under heat stress and normal temperature. We identified 16 miRNAs and 502 genes that were significantly changed in heat-stressed laying hens. By comparing the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the putative targets of the altered miRNAs based on bioinformatics prediction, 82 coordinated genes were identified. Gene ontology classification analyses of the 82 putative target genes showed that the biological category 'cellular response to stress' was prominently annotated. Notably, the response-related gene autophagy-related protein 9A was most likely controlled by the upregulated miRNAs gga-miR-92-5p, gga-miR-1618-5p, gga-miR-1737, and gga-miR-6557 in response to heat stress. Analysis of DEGs also revealed an increase in lipid metabolism in heat-stressed laying hens. Some of these genes were negatively correlated with the altered miRNAs, suggesting that they are potential targets of the miRNAs. Taken together, our results advance our understanding of the regulatory mechanism of heat-stress-induced injury in laying hens, specifically with regard to miRNAs.
