Abstract

Skeletal muscles constitute a high proportion of the cellular mass that is essential for the growth traits in cattle. Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenol compound involved in pleiotropic biological activities of muscle. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the transcriptome-level effects of RSV on bovine primary myoblast to reveal differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We treated three replicates of primary myoblasts with 20 μM mother solution containing RSV, whereas three other replicates without RSV were used as control group. Then, we conducted genome-wide transcriptome analysis for the two groups. The results of expression analysis identified 3856 DEGs of which 1805 genes were up-regulated and 2051 genes were down-regulated (adjusted P < 0.05). In addition, qRT-PCR analysis of 19 selected DEGs were consistent with the expression levels observed in the transcriptome data. Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis showed 72 and 66 significant GO terms and KEGG pathways, respectively (adjusted P < 0.05). The most significant GO term was actin cytoskeleton organization (GO:0030036). The top significant KEGG pathway was focal adhesion (bta04510). Predicted protein-protein interactions (PPIs) showed t...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
