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.

Genetic polymorphism association analysis of SNPs on the species conservation genes of Tan sheep and Hu sheep [PDF]

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2020
AbstractFor further understanding the genetic control mechanisms of growth and development in Tan sheep, and culturing good traits on meat performance, which is very important to both in developing local species and improving economic efficaciously. In our study, we recruited a total of 250 Tan sheep and 174 healthy Hu sheep to detect 32 SNPs in GH ...

MiRNA-Seq reveals key MicroRNAs involved in fat metabolism of sheep liver

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
There is a genetic difference between Hu sheep (short/fat-tailed sheep) and Tibetan sheep (short/thin-tailed sheep) in tail type, because of fat metabolism.

Genome-wide epigenetic dynamics during postnatal skeletal muscle growth in Hu sheep

Communications Biology, 2023
AbstractHypertrophy and fiber transformation are two prominent features of postnatal skeletal muscle development. However, the role of epigenetic modifications is less understood. ATAC-seq, whole genome bisulfite sequencing, and RNA-seq were applied to investigate the epigenetic dynamics of muscle in Hu sheep at 3 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 ...

Short-term nitrous oxide emissions from pasture soil as influenced by urea level and soil nitrate [PDF]

, 2004
Nitrogen excreted by cattle during grazing is a significant source of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N2O). The regulation of N2O emissions is not well understood, but may vary with urine composition and soil conditions.

Polymorphism, Expression, and Structure Analysis of a Key Gene ARNT in Sheep (Ovis aries)

Biology, 2022
Growth traits are influential factors that significantly affects the development of the sheep industry. A previous TMT proteomic analysis found that a key protein in the HIF signaling pathway, ARNT, may influence embryonic skeletal muscle growth and ...

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.

Effect of Sox18 on the Induction Ability of Dermal Papilla Cells in Hu Sheep

Biology, 2022
Sox18 is a developmental gene that encodes transcription factors. It has been indicated as be a key gene affecting the growth and development of hair follicles, in which dermal papilla cells (DPCs) have been demonstrated to play an important role through

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 ...

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 ...
