Sample GSM3931518 Query DataSets for GSM3931518
Status Public on Jul 08, 2022
Title Q107_U
Sample type SRA
 
Source name Embryo
Organism Equus caballus
Characteristics tissue: Embryo
treatment: urea
age: day 14
Treatment protocol When a 25 ± 3 mm follicle was detected, mares were randomly allocated to a urea (n=9) or control treatment (n=10). The treatment group was fed 0.4 g of feed-grade urea (Hallway Feeds, Lexington, KY) per kg of body weight, mixed with 2.4 kg of sweet feed (Poize 10% crude protein, Hallway Feeds), molasses and mixed grass hay (8.4% crude protein). The control group received identical sweet feed, molasses and hay. Daily meals were divided in two equal amounts given in the morning and afternoon using individual feeding pens. Mares had ad libitum access to water. Mares were artificially inseminated when a 35-mm follicle was determined with 500-million progressively motile sperm pooled together from two fertile stallions. Embryo collection was done at D14 and embryos were preserved in RNAlater (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) at 4ºC overnight and then kept at -80ºC until RNA isolation.
Extracted molecule total RNA
Extraction protocol Total cellular RNA was extracted from embryos using TRIzol Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. After extraction, RNA concentration and quality were analyzed using a NanoDrop DP-1000 spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA) and a Bioanalyzer® (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). All samples had a 260/280 ratio > 2.0, a 28S:18S rRNA ratios >1.8, and RNA integrity number (RIN) > 8 (8.95 ± 0.4, mean ± SEM). A total of 1 μg of RNA was treated with DNase I (Ambion Inc., Austin, TX) for 30 minutes at 37ºC to remove genomic DNA according to manufacturer’s instructions. The extracted RNA was kept at -20ºC until further analyses.
The mRNA was enriched using oligo(dT) beads. The mRNA was fragmented randomly in fragmentation buffer, followed by first strand cDNA synthesis using random hexamers and reverse transcriptase. After first-strand synthesis, a custom second-strand synthesis buffer (Illumina, San Diego, CA) was added with dNTPs, RNase H and Escherichia coli polymerase I to generate the second strand by nick-translation. Double-stranded cDNA was purified using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, Beverly, CA). In order to select cDNA fragments of 150 base pairs in length, the library fragments were purified with AMPure XP system (Beckman Coulter). The final library was obtained by PCR amplification and purification of PCR products by AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, Beverly, USA).
 
Library strategy RNA-Seq
Library source transcriptomic
Library selection cDNA
Instrument model Illumina HiSeq 4000
 
Data processing The Fastq files were evaluated for read quality using FastQC 0.11.4
Trim Galore 0.4.1 was used for adapter and read quality trimming (Phred score threshold of 30).
Reads were mapped to the Equus caballus reference genome (EquCab 3.0) using the software STAR 2.5.3a (Dobin, Davis et al. 2013)
Reads were annotated with the equine reference annotation from NCBI using Cufflinks 2.2.1
Fragments per kilobase per million (FPKM) were used to determine the expression level of genes
Cuffdiff 2.2.1 was used to calculate differentially expressed genes (DEG) between samples from the control and urea groups
Significance level was set at FDR-adjusted p-value of the test statistic < 0.1 using a Benjamini-Hochberg correction
