BMP7 Functions to Regulate Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hu Sheep [PDF]

Genes, 2022
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the structurally similar and highly conserved type of functional proteins that play an important role in hair follicle growth and development. BMP7 was a differentially expressed gene in different patterns of Hu sheep lambskin identified using Agilent microarray.

Study on Origin and Phylogeny Status of Hu Sheep

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2003
Applying simple random sampling in typical colony methods in the central area of habitat, 14 structural loci and 31 alleles in blood enzyme and other protein variations of Hu sheep population are examined. After collecting the same data of 11 loci about the 22 sheep colonies in China and other countries, it clusters the 23 sheep populations by fuzzy ...

Analysis of liver miRNA in Hu sheep with different residual feed intake

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Feed efficiency (FE), an important economic trait in sheep production, is indirectly assessed by residual feed intake (RFI). However, RFI in sheep is varied, and the molecular processes that regulate RFI are unclear. It is thus vital to investigate the molecular mechanism of RFI to developing a feed-efficient sheep.

Preservative Effects of Curcumin on Semen of Hu Sheep

Animals
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important factors that lead to a decline in sperm quality during semen preservation. Excessive ROS accumulation disrupts the balance of the antioxidant system in sperm and causes lipid oxidative damage, destroying its structure and function.

Chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic profiles of sheep pituitary function associated with fecundity

BMC Genomics
Background The pituitary gland, a central regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis, plays a pivotal role in reproductive efficiency by precisely controlling the secretion of gonadotropins, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH ...

Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Growth Traits in Hu Sheep. [PDF]

Genes (Basel)
(1) Background: The Hu sheep is a renowned breed characterized by high reproduction, year-round estrus, and resistance to high humidity and temperature conditions. However, the breed exhibits lower growth rates and meat yields, which necessitate improvements through selective breeding. The integration of molecular markers in sheep breeding programs has

Inhibition of IGFBP4 in Granulosa Cells Improves Reproductive Performance and Maintains Fertility With Age via YAP Signaling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
IGFBP4 is upregulated in granulosa cells of aged ovaries across monkeys, mice, and humans. It inhibits YAP signaling, thereby suppressing cell proliferation and contributing to follicular dysfunction. Deletion of Igfbp4 in granulosa cells enhances ovulatory output, improves hormone profiles, and reproductive performance in aged female mice, suggesting ...

CRABP2 Promotes the Proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells via the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway

Animals, 2023
In our previous study of Hu sheep hair follicles, we found that CRABP2 was highly expressed in DPCs, which suggested that CRABP2 may influence the number of DPCs.

A Single‐Cell Transcriptomic Atlas of the Ovine Rumen Microbiome Characterizes Lineage‐Specific Metabolic Shifts Associated with Host Heat Tolerance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An optimized single‐cell transcriptomic framework profiles over 60 000 cells to map the ovine rumen microbiome, partitioning the ecosystem into seven cross‐species functional clusters. In heat‐resistant hosts, a lineage‐specific metabolic shift in Anaerovibrio lipolyticus toward a highly glycolytic phenotype contributes to a “nutritional sparing ...
