- Abstract
[Background] Intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition are typically controlled by several genes, each with a small effect. In the current study, to pinpoint candidate genes and putative regulators involved in FA composition, we performed a multivariate integrative analysis between intramuscular FA and transcriptome profiles of porcine longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. We also carried out a combination of network, regulatory impact factor (RIF), in silico prediction of putative target genes, and functional analyses to better support the biological relevance of our findings., [Results] For this purpose, we used LD RNA-Seq and intramuscular FA composition profiles of 129 Iberian × Duroc backcrossed pigs. We identified 378 correlated variables (13 FA and 365 genes), including six FA (C20:4n-6, C18:2n-6, C20:3n-6, C18:1n-9, C18:0, and C16:1n-7) that were among the most interconnected variables in the predicted network. The detected FA-correlated genes include genes involved in lipid and/or carbohydrate metabolism or in regulation of IMF deposition (e.g., ADIPOQ, CHUK, CYCS, CYP4B1, DLD, ELOVL6, FBP1, G0S2, GCLC, HMGCR, IDH3A, LEP, LGALS12, LPIN1, PLIN1, PNPLA8, PPP1R1B, SDR16C5, SFRP5, SOD3, SNW1, and TFRC), meat quality (GALNT15, GOT1, MDH1, NEU3, PDHA1, SDHD, and UNC93A), and transport (e.g., EXOC7 and SLC44A2). Functional analysis highlighted 54 over-represented gene ontology terms, including well-known biological processes and pathways that regulate lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. RIF analysis suggested a pivotal role for six transcription factors (CARHSP1, LBX1, MAFA, PAX7, SIX5, and TADA2A) as putative regulators of gene expression and intramuscular FA composition. Based on in silico prediction, we identified putative target genes for these six regulators. Among these, TADA2A and CARHSP1 had extreme RIF scores and present novel regulators in pigs. In addition, the expression of TADA2A correlated (either positively or negatively) with C20:4n-6, C18:2n-6, C20:3n-6, C18:1n-9, and that of CARHSP1 correlated (positively) with the C16:1n-7 lipokine. We also found that these two transcription factors share target genes that are involved in lipid metabolism (e.g., GOT1, PLIN1, and TFRC)., [Conclusions] This integrative analysis of muscle transcriptome and intramuscular FA profile revealed valuable information about key candidate genes and potential regulators for FA and lipid metabolism in pigs, among which some transcription factors are proposed to control gene expression and modulate FA composition differences.

Simple Summary: Assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) are usually safe; however, recent evidence suggests we need to look at potential risks in adulthood for better safety. ART techniques, like embryo vitrification, differ from natural conditions, which can potentially impact foetal development and life after birth. This study examined whether hepatic changes previously described after birth are already present in foetal livers at the end of gestation. We performed a comparison of phenotype and hepatic genome-wide mRNA expression via RNA sequencing between fresh and vitrified transferred rabbit embryos. As a result, we found phenotypic differences at 24 days of gestation, with vitrified embryos having lower foetal and liver weights and shorter body lengths. Moreover, offspring derived from vitrified embryos tended to be heavier, indicating a growth spurt in the last week of gestation. Additionally, only a total of 12 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected among foetus groups, some of which are known for their role in lipid metabolism and the stress and immune response. Therefore, our results suggest that vitrification and embryo transfer manipulation induce an adaptive response in embryos and foetuses, which is apparent in the hepatic tissue at the end of the gestation period. Assisted reproduction technologies (ARTs) are generally considered safe; however, emerging evidence highlights the need to evaluate potential risks in adulthood to improve safety further. ART procedures like rederivation of embryos by vitrification differ from natural conditions, causing significant disparities between in vitro and in vivo embryos, affecting foetal physiology and postnatal life. This study aims to investigate whether hepatic transcriptome and metabolome changes observed postnatally are already present in foetal livers at the end of gestation. This study compared fresh and vitrified rabbit embryos, finding differences between foetuses obtained by the transfer of fresh and vitrified embryos at 24 days of gestation. Rederived embryos had reduced foetal and liver weights and crown-rump length. However, the offspring of vitrified embryos tended to be born with higher weight, showing compensatory growth in the final week of gestation (59.2 vs. 49.8 g). RNA-Seq analysis revealed 43 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the foetal liver of vitrified embryos compared to the fresh group. Notably, downregulated genes included BRAT1, CYP4A7, CYP2B4, RPL23, RPL22L1, PPILAL1, A1BG, IFGGC1, LRRC57, DIPP2, UGT2B14, IRGM1, NUTF2, MPST, and PPP1R1B, while upregulated genes included ACOT8, ERICH3, UBXN2A, METTL9, ALDH3A2, DERPC-like, NR5A2-like, AP-1, COG8, INHBE, and PLA2G4C. Overall, a functional annotation of these DEGs indicated an involvement in lipid metabolism and the stress and inflammatory process or immune response. Thus, our results suggest that vitrification and embryo transfer manipulation induce an adaptive response that can be observed in the liver during the last week of gestation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study focuses on the use of Au nanoparticles supported on the SrTiO3−δ perovskite doped with Fe ions as a photocatalyst for CO2 reduction and methanol production using water as the hydrogen supplier. The photocatalytic evaluation of the synthesized materials shows that Au nanoparticles supported on the SrTi(1−x)FexO3−δ perovskites can enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The sample with the doping level x = 0.125 has the highest methanol production, 9.5 times more than the undoped sample and 3.5 times more than its counterpart without Au nanoparticles. The results of the DFT + U calculations show that the contributions from the iron atoms states reduce the energy gap in the perovskite composite, SrTi(1−x)FexO3−δ. Additionally, Fe incorporation endows the system with the capacity to create electron–hole pairs via direct band transitions at the high‐symmetry point R with the doping levels of x = 0.125 and x = 0.250.

- Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) play an essential role as mediators of cell signaling and signal transduction, affecting metabolic homeostasis and determining meat quality in pigs. However, FAs are transformed by the action of several genes, such as those encoding desaturases and elongases of FAs in lipogenic tissues. The aim of the current work was to identify candidate genes, biological processes, and pathways involved in the modulation of intramuscular FA profile from longissimus dorsi muscle. FA profile by gas chromatography of methyl esters and gene expression by RNA-Seq were determined in 129 Iberian × Duroc backcrossed pigs. An association analysis between the muscle transcriptome and its FA profile was performed, followed by a concordance and functional analysis. Overall, a list of well-known (e.g., PLIN1, LEP, ELOVL6, SC5D, NCOA2, ACSL1, MDH1, LPL, LGALS12, TFRC, GOT1, and FBP1) and novel (e.g., TRARG1, TANK, ENSSSCG00000011196, and ENSSSCG00000038429) candidate genes was identified, either in association with specific or several FA traits. Likewise, several of these genes belong to biological processes and pathways linked to energy, lipid, and carbohydrate metabolism, which seem determinants in the modulation of FA compositions. This study can contribute to elucidate the complex relationship between gene expression and FA profile in pig muscle.

- Abstract
An essential factor in the success of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer programmes (MOET) in any species is the selection of the recipient females. In rabbit there is a notable lack of studies on the effects of recipient genotype on postnatal growth. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of recipient maternal genotypes on litter size components within a MOET programme applied to a commercial paternal line that appears to have exhausted its selection programme after 37 generations. The experiment was designed using 13 nulliparous donors from the R line (paternal line) to produce 453 embryos, which were transferred to two recipient maternal genotypes (A and V lines) and the own donor paternal line (R line). Litter size components and pre-and postnatal body mass of kits were evaluated. The differences between the genetic groups of recipients were estimated using a general linear model applying Bayesian analysis. The results showed that maternal lines have a high capacity to implant the embryos, maintain the pregnancy and present a favourable environment for embryo development compared to the R line. Specifically, A line dams showed the highest prenatal survival, total born and number born alive without effects on growth traits. The present study demonstrated the applicability of a MOET programme based on maternal ability recipients to improve the number of kits per cycle. Therefore, to allow the genetic improvement programme of meat rabbits to continue using the R line, we recommended applying for a MOET programme as a routine procedure.HIGHLIGHTS MOET programme based on maternal ability recipients enhanced the number of kits per cycle. The MOET programme could be a routine procedure to favour the selection of paternal lines by increasing selection pressure.

- Abstract
Resumen del póster presentado a la 38th International Conference on Animal Genetics (ISAG), celebrada virtualmente del 26 al 30 de julio de 2021., Fatty acids (FA) are crucial for living organisms with a role in cell signaling, signal transduction, cellular differentiation, metabolic homeostasis, body energy homeostasis, protection of digestive tract mucosa. FA provided by the diet or derived from de novo lipogenesis are modified by the action of desaturases and elongases in lipogenic tissues (including muscle). We aimed to characterize the porcine longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle transcriptome and to study its association with FA composition in muscle. In a total of 129 backcross pigs (25% Iberian and 75% Duroc) the FA profile in LD muscle was determined by gas chromatography of methyl esters. RNA-Seq analysis was performed using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 instrument and sequence alignment with the Sscrofa11.1 porcine reference genome. Association analysis was performed with the limma (trend and voom approaches, Law et al., 2014) and ELMSeq (type I penalty function, Liu et al., 2018) programs. Here, we consider the FA composition and indices (n = 36) as the response variable, and the gene expression, sex and batch as the explanatory variables. A benchmarking reveals FA trait associated genes (FAAGs) identified with the 3 methods showing variable FAAGs number, even between limma-voom and limma-trend. Only 35.14% of the FAAGs were common among methods. We observed that he ELMSeq was able to detect more FAAGs (BH adjusted P-values

[EN]: This study evaluated the genetic (TG) and phenotypic (TF) trends for the peak yield (PP), milk yield (RL), and lactation persistency (P) traits of the Murciano-Granadina (MG) goat lactation curve obtained from 80,872 lactations of 85,404 goats (historical records from 1990-2012). The biomodelling of lactation curves allowed us to estimate the PP, RL, and P traits using the Spline model in the “R” software. The genetic values (VGs) were obtained using the univariate animal model with repeated observations, employing the MTDFREML package. The TG and TF were estimated via the least-squares regression of the average of VGs and known yield information according to the year of birth. While calculating the TG and TF, linear regression coefficients (b) were obtained, where the b values for PP, RL, and P were +0.00071, +0.00698; +0.00114, +0.01117; and +0.00002, -0.00076, respectively. The TG and TF for the PP and RL behaved similarly following an upward trend line with increasing and decreasing intervals. The TG for P showed seasonal variations while the TF followed a downward trend with more consistent points in its trajectory; supporting the idea that high yields are detrimental to the P. These results inform the breeders about the behavior of these traits and provide the basis for the incorporation of the lactation persistency as a selection criteria in the genetic program of the MG breed., [ES]: El objetivo fue evaluar las tendencias genéticas (TG) y fenotípicas (TF) para los caracteres de pico productivo (PP), rendimiento lechero (RL) y persistencia de la lactación (P) en la curva de lactación de la raza Murciano-Granadina (MG). Para ello se utilizaron 180,872 lactaciones, de 85,404 cabras (registros históricos de 1990-2012). Para la obtención de los caracteres de interés (PP, RL y P) se realizó la biomodelación de curvas de lactación mediante el modelo Spline usando el software “R”. Los valores genéticos (VG) se obtuvieron mediante modelo animal univariado con observaciones repetidas, empleándose el paquete MTDFREML. Las TG y TF se estimaron vía mínimos cuadrados en una regresión del promedio de los VG e información productiva conocida según el año de nacimiento. En el cálculo de las TG y TF se obtuvieron coeficientes de regresión lineal (b), donde los valores b para PP, RL y P fueron de +0.00071, +0.00698; +0.00114, +0.01117 y +0.00002, -0.00076; respectivamente. El trayecto de TG, TF de PP y RL se comportó de la misma manera siguiendo una línea de tendencia ascendente con presencia de intervalos de crecimiento y decrecimiento. La TG de P mostró un comportamiento estacional y la TF fue descendente con puntos más consistentes en su recorrido; reforzando la idea de que altas producciones van en detrimento de la P. Estos resultados permiten informar a los criadores del comportamiento de estos caracteres y considerar la incorporación de la persistencia de la lactación como criterio de selección en el programa genético de la raza.

[EN] Nowadays , the influence of maternal and prenatal embryonic genotype on prenatal survival is not clear. However, it is known that mother’s genotype (uterine environment) can affects fetal and postnatal development. While several studies have referred prenatal survival with the maternal genotype, others suggest that the embryonic genotype may modify the uterine environment. Consequently, the prenatal survival depends not only of maternal factors. These effects have been shown in t he rabbit, however, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different maternal environments on the embryonic and gestational survival. In addition, we also study the effect of this maternal environments in the rabbit’s growth at prenatal and postnatal s tage. The maternal effect was determined by comparing three different genotypes, two of them selected by reproductive characters, but with different genetic selection methods (genotype A and V), and the third selected by average daily gain during fattening (genotype R). To rule out the effect of embryonic genotype, all embryos was obtained from genotype R. Donor rabbit (n = 39) were superovulated with a subcutaneous injection of corifollitropin alfa (0.75 μg/kg, Elonva®). Sixty hours later, they were insemi nated (AI) and induced to ovulate, recovering embryos 72 h after AI. Only, the females who provided at least 21 embryos was classified as transferable and used as donors (n = 13). Embryos were distributed in the three receptor genotypes (R, A and V), trans ferring between 7 to 14 embryos per recipient. In total, 453 embryos (151 in each genotype) were transferred by laparoscopy in 39 females. Embryonic survival (embryo implanted/embryos transferred), gestational survival (kits born alive/embryos transferred) and fetal loss (rabbits unborn/implanted embryos) was determined by laparoscopy at 10 th day of gestation. In addition, the size of the fetus was determined during gestation by ultrasound (My Lab 70 x V6 portatil - Esaote) at intervals of 2 days, starting on day 10 and ending on day 27. Litter size was determined and each newborn was individually identified by microchip and weighted. The daily middleweight gain (DMG) was estimated until the age of 63 days, and also the survival rate during this stage was calc ulated. DMG was calculated during the lactation and fattening (until 63 days). Our results shown that embryonic survival rate was influenced by maternal genotype, being higher in the maternal genotypes (A and V) than in the paternal genotype R (0.62±0.04 a nd 0.58±0.04 vs 0.47±0.04 for genotype A and V vs R, respectively). However, in the survival gestational and fetal losses any effect was observed. On prenatal growth, any effect between 10 to 19 days of pregnant was noticed. However, from day 21 of pregnan t, the fetus in the uterine environment of R genotype increase their body length, maintaining this difference until the birth. Although any effects were observed on litter size, the weight at birth showed a higher value for the fetus developed in the uteri ne environment of genotype R (72.7±2.2g vs 67.0±2.1g and 61.7±2.0g for R vs genotype A and V, respectively). During lactation, R genotype reached the highest DMG (21.1±0.9 g/d vs 18.7±0.8 g/d and 18.3±0.7 g/d, for genotype R vs genotype A and V, respective ly). However, during the fattening stage, the postnatal survival and DMG were not affected by maternal effect. In conclusion, maternal effect has an effect on embryonic survival but not in gestational survival, fetal loss and postnatal survival. In additio n, the maternal effect on the fetal growth and until lactation was observed, later this effect is compensated during fattening, [ES] La reproducción es un fenómeno esencial para la supervivencia de las especies y por tanto, la biología y la tecnología de la reproducción tienen un papel esencial en la conservación de la biodiversidad. También ofrece herramientas que potencian y facilitan la aplicación de los métodos de mejora tanto cuantitativos como moleculares (Roldán y Garde, 2002). El estudio de los componentes tamaño de camada en conejos es uno de los caracteres tradicionalmente utilizados en la selección de líneas maternas, ello puede ayudar a entender mejor su control genético. Así por ejemplo las pérdidas prenatales de la línea seleccionada por velocidad de crecimiento (línea R) alcanzan el 50%; mientras en líneas maternas y conejas hibridas éstas pueden situarse entre un 20 y un 30% (García y Baselga, 2002; Mocé et al., 2010; Vicente et al, 2013). Por ello, se considera que es posible tener mejores resultados aplicando las actuales biotecnologías de la reproducción (sincronización, superovulación, inseminación artificial, transferencia de embriones, cirugía de mínimo acceso y ultrasonografía), por el hecho de que ya están estandarizados estos protocolos en esta especie, minimizamos el tiempo y tenemos un mejor nivel de control de las condiciones experimentales para determinar el efecto del tipo genético materno en los embriones, la supervivencia del feto y características de crecimiento. El éxito o fracaso de la reproducción en conejos depende de varios factores como son: la producción, la genética, el manejo, la sanidad y la alimentación; entre otros (es multifactorial). Un ejemplo son las características del crecimiento y canal en líneas maternales, que se ha demostrado que pueden estar influenciados por los efectos uterinos, efectos del desarrollo posnatal y otros efectos (Cowley et al., 1989). También la tasa de supervivencia prenatal se ve afectada por varios factores genéticos y ambientales que alteran el desarrollo normal del embrión, el medio ambiente maternal para soportar la fertilización normal y el desarrollo de los embriones, la placenta y el feto, o afectar a la relación necesaria entre el embrión y el endometrio maternal (Wilmut et al., 1986). En un estudio reciente, Vicente et al. (2012) demostraron las influencias de tipo genético embrionarias en ambas tasas (la de implantación y supervivencia del feto), siendo la más afectada la tasa de implantación. OBJETIVOS Evaluar la influencia genética materna sobre el desarrollo embrionario. Además se caracterizará el desarrollo prenatal y postnatal en tres ambientes uterinos maternos, así como la supervivencia del feto, las características de crecimiento y características de la canal. METODOLOGÍA Y PLAN DE TRABAJO Este trabajo se desarrollará desde septiembre del 2015 hasta mayo del 2016. Se llevará a cabo un experimento en el que se utilizarán 16 conejas de diferentes orígenes pertenecientes a una línea de crecimiento (R) las que serán superovuladas con un tratamiento de FSH porcina combinado con LH recombinante humana. A las mismas se les realizará la inseminación artificial y una vez que trascurran 72 horas, se procederá a recuperar los embriones in vivo (estadio de 2-4 células) de cada donante mediante la técnica de laparoscopía; dichas biotecnologías se realizarán según los procedimientos de Vicente y Jiménez (2012). En torno a 150 embriones frescos (obtenidos a partir de la misma hembra inseminada serán evaluados en diferentes ambientes uterinos), transfiriéndose por vía laparoscópica a nivel oviductal en dos líneas maternas (A y V) y sobre hembras de la línea crecimiento (línea R), conformando con ello los tres grupos de conejas receptoras; no existiendo más de 12 horas de asincronía entre las donantes y las receptora, evaluando a partir de ese momento su desarrollo prenatal y postnatal en los tres ambientes maternos. A las conejas receptoras se realizará en

- Abstract
AbstractThe objective of this study was to characterise the peak yield (PY), peak day (PD) and the persistency (P) of the lactation curve of Murciano-Granadina goats by Splineconsidering the variation factors (region, type of kidding, lactation number and season) and their levels. A total of 1,349,347 test-day records from 180,872 lactations, of 85,404 goats were used. The analysed data with Splinemodel was considered for adequate fit in lactation curves for others traits in these goats. All factors affected the scale and/or shape of the lactation curve. In the region factor, significant differences (SD, p < .05) were observed in terms of the total milk yield (TY), final persistency (FP) and total persistency (TP) variables in favour of Almeria versus Cordoba and Granada; the PD variables, PY and initial persistency (IP) did not show SD (NSD, p > .05) between regions. The type of kidding presented SD among its levels (evident between double versus single and triple) with the exception of the PY. The lactation number for the variables of PD, PY and TY from second to fifth lactation showed NSD among themselves; but it did in the case of the first. The P of first lactation was longer, with a decrease in subsequent lactations. In the season factor, PD, TY and P presented SD; where the PD was divided into two groups: late group (winter-spring) and early group (fall-winter). The P, PY and PD can be considered as an additional selection criterion and thus modify the lactation curve.HighlightsThe biomodeling of individualized lactation curves is an important information resource for farmers and their breeding program.A conglomerate of microeffects such us climate, photoperiod, agroecological aspects, affect parameters of the lactation curve and their productions.It is preferable to achieve lactations with more emphasis on persistency in order to provide animal welfare and obtain adequate economic benefits.
