High albumen height by expression of GALNT9 and thin eggshell by decreased Ca 2+ transportation caused high hatchability in Huainan partridge chicken. Poult Sci 2024; 103:103784. [PMID: 38713992 PMCID: PMC11091513 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.103784] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Hatchability could be quite different among individuals of indigenous chicken breed which might be affected by the egg quality. In this study, hatchability was individually recorded among 800 forty-wk-old Huainan partridge chickens. The chickens were then divided into high and low hatchability groups (HH and LH group) with 50 birds in each group. Egg quality was further determined in the 2 groups. Eight birds from each group were selected for slaughtering and tissue, responsible for egg formation, collection for structure observation by staining and candidate gene expression by transcriptome analysis. The hatchability in HH was 100% and 61.18% in LH. The eggshell thickness and shell strength were significantly lower, while the albumen height and Haugh unit were significantly higher in HH group than those in LH group (P < 0.05). The magnum weight and index, and the expression of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 9 (GALNT9), which responsible for thick albumen synthesis, in HH group were also significantly higher than that of LH group (P < 0.05). Compared with the LH group, there were 702 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in HH group, of which 402 were up-regulated and 300 were down-regulated. Candidate genes of calbindin 1 (CALB1) and solute carrier family 26 member 9 (SLC26A9), which regulate calcium signaling pathway so as to affect Ca2+ transportation, exhibited significant high and low expression, respectively, in HH group compared to those in LH group (P < 0.05). Therefore, indigenous chicken with high expression of GALNT9 in magnum to form thick albumen to provide more protein for embryo, while high CALB1 and low expression of SLC26A9 to decrease Ca2+ transportation so as to form a thinner eggshell and provide better gas exchange during embryo development.

Abstract
The number of people with dementia is increasing rapidly due to the increase in the aging population. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative dementia caused by the accumulation of abnormal proteins. Genetic mutations, smoking, and several other factors have been reported as causes of AD, but alterations in glycans have recently been demonstrated to play a role in AD. Amyloid-β (Aβ), a cleaved fragment of APP, is the source of senile plaque, a pathological feature of AD. APP has been reported to undergo N- and O-glycosylation, and several Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGalNAc-Ts) have been shown to have catalytic activity for the transfer of GalNAc to APP. Since O-glycosylation in the proximity of a cleavage site in many proteins has been reported to be involved in protein processing, O-glycans may affect the cleavage of APP during the Aβ production process. In this report, we describe new findings on the O-glycosylation of APP and Aβ production.

Abstract
Mucin-type O-glycosylation is the dominant form of glycosylation in eukaryotes and plays an important role in various physiological processes. The polypeptide GalNAc-transferase (GalNAc-T) catalyzes the first step in the attachment of mucin-type O-glycosylation. GalNAc-T was recently uncovered to be linked with cancer, atherogenic dyslipidemia, and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. Therefore, it has attracted increasing interest as a new target for exploring the underlying mechanism and developing new treatments for related diseases. Decades of studies on GalNAc-T have laid a stable foundation for understanding the catalytic mechanism, determining atom-resolution three-dimensional structures, and developing various types of biochemical assays as well as small-molecule inhibitor leads. Here, we systematically summarize this invaluable knowledge on GalNAc-T and cultivate new perspectives to foster breakthrough points for mucin-type O-glycosylation.

Abstract
The GalNAc-type O-glycoproteome is orchestrated by a large family of polypeptide GalNAc-transferase isoenzymes (GalNAc-Ts) with partially overlapping contributions to the O-glycoproteome besides distinct nonredundant functions. Increasing evidence indicates that individual GalNAc-Ts co-regulate and fine-tune specific protein functions in health and disease, and deficiencies in individual GALNT genes underlie congenital diseases with distinct phenotypes. Studies of GalNAc-T specificities have mainly been performed with in vitro enzyme assays using short peptide substrates, but recently quantitative differential O-glycoproteomics of isogenic cells with and without GALNT genes has enabled a more unbiased exploration of the nonredundant contributions of individual GalNAc-Ts. Both approaches suggest that fairly small subsets of O-glycosites are nonredundantly regulated by specific GalNAc-Ts, but how these isoenzymes orchestrate regulation among competing redundant substrates is unclear. To explore this, here we developed isogenic cell model systems with Tet-On inducible expression of two GalNAc-T genes, GALNT2 and GALNT11, in a knockout background in HEK293 cells. Using quantitative O-glycoproteomics with tandem-mass-tag (TMT) labeling, we found that isoform-specific glycosites are glycosylated in a dose-dependent manner and that induction of GalNAc-T2 or -T11 produces discrete glycosylation effects without affecting the major part of the O-glycoproteome. These results support previous findings indicating that individual GalNAc-T isoenzymes can serve in fine-tuned regulation of distinct protein functions.

Abstract
Aberrant chromatin transformation dysregulates gene expression and may be an important driver of tumorigenesis. However, the functional role of chromosomal dynamics in tumorigenesis remains to be elucidated. Here, using in vitro and in vivo experiments, we reveal a novel long noncoding (lncing) driver at chr12p13.3, in which a novel lncRNA GALNT8 Antisense Upstream 1 (GAU1) is initially activated by an open chromatin status, triggering recruitment of the transcription elongation factor TCEA1 at the oncogene GALNT8 promoter and cis-activates the expression of GALNT8. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) clinical database revealed that the GAU1/GALNT8 driver serves as an important indicative biomarker, and targeted silencing of GAU1 via the HKP-encapsulated method exhibited therapeutic efficacy in orthotopic xenografts. Our study presents a novel oncogenetic mechanism in which aberrant tuning of the chromatin state at specific chromosomal loci exposes factor-binding sites, leading to recruitment of trans-factor and activation of oncogenetic driver, thereby provide a novel alternative concept of chromatin dynamics in tumorigenesis.

RNA-Seq reveals seven promising candidate genes affecting the proportion of thick egg albumen in layer-type chickens. Sci Rep 2017; 7:18083. [PMID: 29273734 PMCID: PMC5741707 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-18389-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2017] [Accepted: 12/11/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Eggs with a much higher proportion of thick albumen are preferred in the layer industry, as they are favoured by consumers. However, the genetic factors affecting the thick egg albumen trait have not been elucidated. Using RNA sequencing, we explored the magnum transcriptome in 9 Rhode Island white layers: four layers with phenotypes of extremely high ratios of thick to thin albumen (high thick albumen, HTA) and five with extremely low ratios (low thick albumen, LTA). A total of 220 genes were differentially expressed, among which 150 genes were up-regulated and 70 were down-regulated in the HTA group compared with the LTA group. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis revealed that the up-regulated genes in HTA were mainly involved in a wide range of regulatory functions. In addition, a large number of these genes were related to glycosphingolipid biosynthesis, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interactions and cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions. Based on functional analysis, ST3GAL4, FUT4, ITGA2, SDC3, PRLR, CDH4 and GALNT9 were identified as promising candidate genes for thick albumen synthesis and metabolism during egg formation. These results provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms of egg albumen traits and may contribute to future breeding strategies that optimise the proportion of thick egg albumen.
