Abstract
Rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) are a major social and economic burden because of the population aging and the lack of curative solutions. An effective cell therapy may be the best treatment option for OA and other cartilage diseases. However, the main cellular strategy used to repair articular cartilage, the transplantation of autologous chondrocytes, is limited to a small number of patients with traumatic lesions. The use of joint replacement after years of disease progression proves the great medical need in current practice. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) provide an alternative cell source for cartilage regeneration due to numerous advantages, comprising relative ease to isolate and culture, chondrogenic capacity, and anti-inflammatory effects. Initial clinical trials with MSCs have led to encouraging results, but many variables have to be considered to attain true amelioration of disease or repair (type and status of cartilage disease, source and conditions of cells, administration regime, combinatorial approaches). Particularly, allogeneic MSCs are an advantageous cellular product. The animal models chosen for preclinical evaluation are also relevant for successful translation into clinical practice. Considering the limitations in the field, rigorous comparative and validating studies in well-established animal models (including large animals) are still needed to set up the bases for additional clinical trials. The present review of studies performed in small and large animal models should help clarify the applicability of MSC-based therapies for articular cartilage repair.

Abstract
Since the clinical use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for treating musculoskeletal injuries is gaining popularity, practitioners should be aware of the factors that may affect MSCs from tissue harvesting for MSC isolation to cell delivery into the injury site. This review provides equine practitioners with up-to-date, practical knowledge for the treatment of equine patients using MSCs. A brief overview of laboratory procedures affecting MSCs is provided, but the main focus is on shipping conditions, routes of administration, injection methods, and which commonly used products can be combined with MSCs and which products should be avoided as they have deleterious effects on cells. There are still several knowledge gaps regarding MSC-based therapies in horses. Therefore, it is important to properly manage the factors which are currently known to affect MSCs, to further strengthen the evidence basis of this treatment.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation has become a promising therapeutic choice for musculoskeletal injuries. Joint-related disorders are highly prevalent in horses. Therefore, these animals are considered as suitable models for testing MSC-based therapies for these diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical and inflammatory responses to intra-articular single and repeat dose administration of autologous or of pooled allogeneic MSCs in healthy equine healthy joints. Six horses were intra-articularly injected with a single autologous dose of bone marrow derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) and two separate doses of allogeneic BM-MSCs pooled from several donors. All contralateral joints were injected with Lactated Ringer’s Solution (LRS) as the control vehicle. Signs of synovitis and lameness were evaluated at days 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 after injection. Total protein (TP), white blood cell count (WBC) and neutrophil count (NC) in synovial fluid were also measured at the same time-points. Results A mild synovial effusion without associated lameness was observed after all BM-MSCs injections. The second allogeneic injection caused the lowest signs of synovitis. Local temperature slightly increased after all BM-MSCs treatments compared to the controls. TP, WBC and NC in synovial fluids also increased during days 1 to 5 after all BM-MSCs injections. Both, clinical and synovial parameters were progressively normalized and by day 10 post-inoculation appeared indistinguishable from controls. Conclusions Intra-articular administration of an allogeneic pool of BM-MSCs represents a safe therapeutic strategy to enhance MSCs availability. Importantly, the absence of hypersensitivity response to the second allogeneic BM-MSCs injection validates the use of repeat dose treatments to potentiate the therapeutic benefit of these cells. These results notably contribute to the development of stem cell based therapies for equine and human joint diseases.

Abstract
The Casta Navarra lineage was one of the populations used to establish the fighting bull (FB) breed, and it has also been reproductively isolated from the others FBs. A total of 1284 individuals from two generations of 16 Casta Navarra herds were sampled to analyse their diversity, their genetic structure and the ability of 28 microsatellite markers to assign individuals to closely related populations. These animals were compared with closely related phylogenetic (FB) or geographical (Pirenaica and Monchina) populations. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium analysis showed that 82% of the loci had a significant heterozygote deficit as a consequence of the Wahlund effect. The average proportion of genetic variation explained by farm differences was 9% by Wright's FST index. A phylogenetic tree constructed with a neighbour-joining method based on Reynolds genetic distances and a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo clustering approach revealed clear differences between farm groups that generally corresponded to historical information and could unambiguously differentiate Casta Navarra cattle from the other populations. The percentage of animals correctly assigned to the Casta Navarra population was 91.78% for a q threshold of >0.9. Admixture was only detected in 4.45% (q < 0.8) of the cattle. These results are relevant for the maintenance and development of diversity and conservation in the Casta Navarra population.

Abstract
Conservation and improvement strategies in farm animals should be based on a combination of genetic and phenotypic characteristics. Genotype data from 30 microsatellites were used to assess the genetic diversity and relationships among five Cuban cattle breeds (Siboney de Cuba, Criollo Cubano, Cebú Cubano, Mambí de Cuba and Taíno de Cuba). All microsatellite markers were highly polymorphic in all the breeds. The expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.67 ± 0.02 in the Taíno de Cuba breed to 0.75 ± 0.02 in the Mambí de Cuba breed, and the observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.66 ± 0.03 in the Cebú Cubano breed to 0.73 ± 0.02 in the Siboney de Cuba breed. The genetic differentiation between the breeds was significant (p < 0.01) based on the infinitesimal model (F(ST)). The exact test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium within breeds showed a significant deviation in each breed (p < 0.0003) for one or more loci. The genetic distance and structure analysis showed that a significant amount of genetic variation is maintained in the local cattle population and that all breeds studied could be considered genetically distinct. The Siboney de Cuba and Mambí de Cuba breeds seem to be the most genetically related among the studied five breeds.

Abstract
In Iberia there are 51 officially recognized cattle breeds of which 15 are found in Portugal and 38 in Spain. We present here a comprehensive analysis of the genetic diversity and structure of Iberian cattle. Forty of these breeds were genotyped with 19 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. Asturiana de los Valles displayed the greatest allelic diversity and Mallorquina the least. Unbiased heterozygosity values ranged from 0.596 to 0.787. The network based on Reynolds distances was star-shaped with few pairs of interrelated breeds and a clear cluster of 4 breeds (Alistana/Arouquesa/Marinhoa/Mirandesa). The analysis of the genetic structure of Iberian cattle indicated that the most probable number of population clusters included in the study would be 36. Distance results were supported by the STRUCTURE software indicating a relatively recent origin or possible crossbreeding or both between pairs or small groups of breeds. Five clusters included 2 different breeds (Betizu/Pirenaica, Morucha/Avileña, Parda de Montaña/Bruna de los Pirineos, Barrosã/Cachena, and Toro de Lidia/Brava de Lide), 3 breeds (Berrenda en Negro, Negra Andaluza, and Mertolenga) were divided in 2 independent clusters each, and 2 breeds were considered admixed (Asturiana de los Valles and Berrenda en Colorado). Individual assignation to breeds was not possible in the 2 admixed breeds and the pair Parda de Montaña/Bruna de los Pirineos. The relationship between Iberian cattle reflects their geographical origin rather than their morphotypes. Exceptions to this geographic clustering are most probably a consequence of crossbreeding with foreign breeds. The relative genetic isolation within their geographical origin, the consequent genetic drift, the adaptation to specific environment and production systems, and the influence of African and European cattle have contributed to the current genetic status of Iberian cattle, which are grouped according to their geographical origin. The greater degree of admixture observed in some breeds should be taken into account before using molecular markers for genetic assignment of individuals to breeds.

Abstract
Genetic diversity in and relationships among 26 Creole cattle breeds from 10 American countries were assessed using 19 microsatellites. Heterozygosities, F-statistics estimates, genetic distances, multivariate analyses and assignment tests were performed. The levels of within-breed diversity detected in Creole cattle were considerable and higher than those previously reported for European breeds, but similar to those found in other Latin American breeds. Differences among breeds accounted for 8.4% of the total genetic variability. Most breeds clustered separately when the number of pre-defined populations was 21 (the most probable K value), with the exception of some closely related breeds that shared the same cluster and others that were admixed. Despite the high genetic diversity detected, significant inbreeding was also observed within some breeds, and heterozygote excess was detected in others. These results indicate that Creoles represent important reservoirs of cattle genetic diversity and that appropriate conservation measures should be implemented for these native breeds in order to minimize inbreeding and uncontrolled crossbreeding.

Abstract
The effect of feeding system on the expression of LPL, ACACA, FASN, FABP4, DGAT1, SCD, CPT1B, PRKAA2, LEP, SREBP1, PPARG, PPARA and CEBPB genes in semitendinous muscle was studied. Forty-four single born male lambs of the Rasa Aragonesa breed, allocated to four different dietary treatments, were used: grazing alfalfa, grazing alfalfa with supplement for lambs, indoor lambs with grazing ewes and drylot. Significant differences were found in the expression of genes LPL, ACACA, FASN, FABP4, CPT1B and SCD. Genes related to adipogenesis (LPL, ACACA, FASN, FABP4, and SCD) are up-regulated in the intensive groups. In grazing groups CPT1B gene expression, related to β-oxidation process, is up-regulated. The relative expression of CPT1B was 1.54 fold higher in ALF+S, and 0.43 and 0.37 fold lower in IND- GRE and IND, respectively. The results support the hypothesis that changes in fatty acid profile due to feeding system implicate changes in the mRNA expression level of genes related with fat metabolism. Feeding strategy is an important tool to manipulate intramuscular fatty acid profile in meat through altering gene expression of enzymes related with fat metabolism.

Abstract
On the basis of QTL studies for milk-fat yield trait on BTA3, annexin 9 protein (ANXA9), fatty acid transport protein type 3 (SLC27A3) and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) were selected as candidate genes. Three different single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of bovine ANXA9, SLC27A3 and DGAT1 genes have been tested in a selective genotyping design for milk-fat yield. Significant allele frequency differences were found for ANXA9 (p=0.02), in Holstein-Friesian animals with high and low breeding values for milk-fat yield. Regression analysis also showed a significant effect (p=0.0207) between estimated breeding values (EBVs) for fat milk content and ANXA9 polymorphism. So ANXA9 gene falls into a significant quantitative trait loci interval for milk-fat yield that was previously reported on bovine chromosome 3 in other dairy populations. Our results suggest that the ANXA9 gene polymorphism or a linked segregating QTL contributes to variation in milk-fat yield.

Abstract
Five erythrocyte proteins (Adenosine deaminase, Ada; 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, Pgd; Esterase 1, Es-1; Esterase 3, Es-3; NADH-Diaphorase 2, Dia-2) and a serum beta-globulin protein (Esterase 7, Est-7) were studied in rabbits using starch gel electrophoresis. Samples were obtained from 317 Spanish Common individuals (38 families, 317 individuals). For the analyses of linkage, Morton's sequential probability ratio test was applied. Clear evidence for linkage between Es-1 and Est-7 (theta 0.2) was obtained, and no evidence of linkage was obtained for the remaining pairwise combinations of loci studied.

Abstract
Serum samples from 412 Spanish wild rabbits were analysed by starch and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three different transferrin (Tf) phenotypes (A, AB and B) were observed by both methods. The occurrence of two codominant alleles (TfA and TfB with frequencies of 0.89 and 0.11 respectively) at an autosomal locus (Tf) was supported by the population data on genetic equilibrium. Electrophoretic mobility differences between the Tf variants A and B could not be explained by differences in sialic acid or iron contents. Each of the two Tf variants were shown to have two sialic acid residues by neuraminidase treatment. These variants had similar affinities for iron, and iron binding did not lead to the conversion of one variant into the other.

Abstract
The Neolithic introduction of domestic cattle into Europe was followed by differential adaptation, selection, migration and genetic isolation, leading ultimately to the emergence of specialized breeds. We have studied the differentiation of European cattle by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting. Combining AFLP data sets from two laboratories yielded 81 biallelic polymorphic markers scored in 19-22 individual animals from 51 breeds. Model-based clustering differentiated Podolian cattle as well as French and Alpine breeds from other European cattle. AFLP genetic distances correlated well with microsatellite-based genetic distances calculated for the same breeds. However, the AFLP data emphasized the divergence of taurine and indicine cattle relative to the variation among European breeds and indicated an Eastern influence on Italian and Hungarian Podolian breeds. This probably reflects import from the East after the original introduction of domestic cattle into Europe. Our data suggest that Italian cattle breeds are relatively diverse at the DNA sequence level.

Abstract
The Solute Carrier Family 27 Member 1 (SLC27A1) is an evolutionarily conserved protein involved in regulating the long chain fatty acid uptake into cells. It has been shown to be expressed in tissues undergoing rapid fatty acid metabolism such as heart, skeletal muscle and adipose tissues, but no expression is detected in liver. Here we report the molecular characterization of the bovine SLC27A1 gene and draw a comparison with orthologous genes of some monogastric species. The bovine SLC27A1 gene is organized in 13 exons and extends over more than 40 kb of genomic DNA. It codes for a protein of 646 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 71 kDa which has 92%, 88% and 88% similarity with the human, mouse and rat SLC27A1 proteins respectively. The bovine SLC27A1 RNA expression was high in heart, testis, nervous tissue and muscle and very low in liver. Surprisingly, adipose tissues showed very low RNA expression levels contrary to the results described for both human and mouse genes. On the other hand, discordances observed between the bovine SLC27A1 RNA and protein expression patterns suggest that complex regulation mechanisms may be involved in determining the final SLC27A1 protein levels in each tissue. Finally, we have identified an alternative transcript generated by exon skipping of exon 3 to 7 which could encode a cytosolic SLC27A1 isoform of approximately 37 kDa.

Abstract
Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a multifunctional protein that carries out the synthesis of fatty acids so it plays a central role in de novo lipogenesis in mammals. Previously, we defined the genetic structure and expression of the bovine FASN gene. Our mapping studies placed FASN on BTA19 (19q22) where several quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk-fat content and related traits have been described. This study was conducted to identify polymorphisms in the bovine FASN gene and to study their association with milk-fat content. The bovine FASN gene was screened for polymorphisms in two cattle breeds. Sequence analysis revealed several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and two of them were analysed: a G>C substitution in the untranslated exon 1 (g.763G>C), altering a potential Sp1 transcription factor-binding site, and an A>G substitution in exon 34 (g.16009A>G), which determines a non-conservative substitution of threonine by alanine. Allele-specific amplification of the SNPs in FASN revealed significant frequency differences for both polymorphisms in Holsteins with high and low breeding values for milk-fat content. The intragenic haplotypes comprising exon 1 (alleles G and C) and exon 34 (alleles A and G) polymorphisms were studied, and the existence of linkage disequilibrium between these SNPs was found (D(CG) = 0.048, P < 0.001). Our results suggest that the FASN gene polymorphisms contribute to variation in milk-fat content. We propose that the bovine FASN gene is a candidate gene for a milk-fat content QTL.

Abstract
GPAM maps in BTA26q22, where several QTLs affecting milk production, milk fat and protein content have been mapped. On the basis of the QTL location, the GPAM gene could be considered a good candidate gene for the mentioned traits. Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase mitochondrial (GPAM) is the enzyme that catalyses the initial and committed step of glycerolipid synthesis and, therefore, it is a potential site for triacylglycerol synthesis regulation. In this study, the structure of the cDNA and the genomic DNA of the bovine GPAM gene were determined and the expression of its mRNA was studied. The cDNA of the gene was cloned by RT-PCR, 5' and 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The GPAM mRNA sequence contains a 2,475-bp coding region and a 3,689-bp 3' UTR. Its ORF encoded for an 825-amino acid protein and has an 89% homology with the coding regions of previously characterized mouse and human GPAM genes. The predicted amino acid sequence had an 89 and 93% similarity with mouse and human GPAM proteins, respectively. Using a 5' RACE strategy, two different 5' UTRs were cloned. Northern blot analysis confirmed the presence of two different transcripts. Adipose tissues and lung had the highest levels of GPAM mRNA expression, whereas it was barely detectable in liver. This expression pattern differs with those of non-ruminant animals where liver is one of the tissues with higher GPAM mRNA expression level.

Abstract
Fatty acid synthesis differs considerably between monogastric and ruminant species. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) plays a central role in de novo lipogenesis in mammals. FASN has seven active sites which help to catalyse all the reaction steps in the conversion of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to palmitate. In this work, the bovine fatty acid synthase gene (FASN) was cloned, characterized and compared to the human and rat orthologs. Comparative analysis reveals evolutionarily conserved exon regions and gene flanking sequences. Analysis of the DNA sequence in the 5' flanking region of the FASN bovine gene revealed a potential TATA box, CAAT box and 5 Sp1 binding sites located in a CpG island. RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that FASN expression was higher in brain, testis and adipose tissue than in liver and heart. The longer form of the FASN cDNA includes a 7,542-bp sequence which encodes a protein with 2,513 amino acids. An alternative transcript was discovered in bovine and ovine tissues devoid of part of exon 9. The removal of part of exon 9 by post-transcriptional splicing causes a frameshift in the open reading frame and results in a premature termination codon. We hypothesize that in ruminants, FASN may be regulated by the ratio between the two transcripts. The small transcript is mostly produced in tissues with low fatty acid synthesis.

Abstract
Fatness traits, such as fat deposition, carcass composition, fat content, and the percentage of fat in milk, are economically relevant to cattle production. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase mitochondrial (GPAM) are two enzymes that play a central role in de novo lipogenesis. Both could be putative candidate genes for quantitative trait loci (QTL). Several clones containing the fatty acid synthase (FASN) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase mitochondrial (GPAM) genes were isolated after screening the INRA bovine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library using PCR. Five microsatellite loci were derived from the BAC clones containing the genes of interest with heterozygosity values ranging from 27 to 78%, using DNA samples from the International Bovine Reference Panel (IBRP). The newly developed markers were genotyped on the IBRP animals and on a radiation hybrid panel to compare the obtained linkage and RH maps. Radiation hybrid maps were developed for chromosome BTA19 and BTA26 regions containing FASN and GPAM genes, respectively. The two genes and their associated microsatellite markers were located on the genetic or RH maps or on both. These microsatellite markers could be useful to study the QTL effect on fat synthesis in reference population.

Abstract
This paper explores patterns of genetic diversity near a locus known to have been under selection. The myostatin gene (GDF-8) has been shown to be associated with double muscling, a phenotype selected for in a number of cattle breeds. We examined population genetic parameters for microsatellite loci at varying distances from GDF-8 in double-muscled (DM) and non-double-muscled (non-DM) cattle breeds in order to assess patterns of diversity. A theoretical analysis was also performed to predict the patterns of diversity expected under different scenarios. We found differences in the patterns of heterozygosity, allele diversity and linkage disequilibrium between DM and non-DM breeds. However, there were some exceptions to the predicted patterns. These are discussed in light of the histories of the breeds and the potential for using microsatellite diversity for mapping trait genes in livestock populations.

Abstract
A single nucleotide polymorphism was identified in the coding sequence of the bovine transferrin gene. Two alleles (SSCP1 and SSCP2) were detected by SSCP analysis and the mutation point was identified and confirmed by direct sequencing of the PCR products. The relationship between protein and DNA polymorphism was established. Protein variants A, D1 and E correspond to SSCP allele 1 and variant D2 corresponds to SSCP allele 2. DNA sequences from genotypes AA, AE, AD2, D1E, D2E and D2D2 reveal an A/G substitution at position 1455 of the cDNA which causes a Gly/Glu substitution which could be responsible for the mobility difference between D1 and D2 variants. Because of the number of variants, this suggests that other SNPs exist in the bovine transferrin gene. A linkage analysis between the SSCPs and two microsatellites (UWCA46 and CSSM019) mapped the transferrin gene to BTA1. Two-point analysis revealed a tight linkage within the transferrin protein variants and the SSCPs.

Abstract
The polymorphism of a (TA)n(CA)n repeat microsatellite present in the third intron of the bovine kappa-casein gene (CASK) has been investigated. The existence of six alleles differing only in the number of dinucleotide repeats has been established. A total of 330 animals belonging to nine different pure bred Bos taurus French breeds or to a cross-bred Bos taurus x Bos indicus population (Créole) were genotyped. The distribution of the microsatellite alleles was examined and clear breed differences were noted. Genotyping of animals by isoelectric focusing (IEF) or restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (TaqI) was performed, in order to examine the relationship of the microsatellite polymorphism to other previously described CASK polymorphisms, at the protein and DNA levels. Strong correlation was seen, indicating that evolution of the various polymorphisms was not independent, and nine CASK haplotypes were observed.

Abstract
Seventeen blood proteins were studied in a sample of 412 Spanish wild rabbits and in 598 domestic rabbits belonging to various breeds. The wild rabbit populations showed a high level of genetic polymorphism. Six loci were monomorphic, while the remaining ten loci were segregating for at least two alleles. Two of the loci that were polymorphic in the wild rabbits were monomorphic in the domestic ones. Wright's inbreeding coefficient in the total Spanish wild rabbit population was F = 5.66, indicating subdivision of the total population. Inbreeding coefficients, estimated by Kidd et al.'s method (Anim. Blood Grps, Biochem. Genet. 11: 21-38), differed significantly from zero, being 15.62%, in wild rabbits and 6-12% in domestic breeds, indicating consanguinity. Genetic distances between wild rabbit populations showed that factors other than geographic distance (e.g., bottlenecks, barriers such as rivers, mountains, etc.) may explain the result that a northern population forms a cluster with two central populations whereas the northeastern populations form a different cluster with another central population. Populations of the first cluster are more closely related to the captive populations than others. There are three population clusters of domestic rabbits, namely (1) New Zealand White and a hybrid combination; (2) Spanish Common, Butterfly, Burgundy, and Californian; and (3) Spanish Giant.
