Abstract
Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world, both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial. To address this issue, we analyzed 863 genomes from a worldwide sampling of chickens and representatives of all four species of wild jungle fowl and each of the five subspecies of red jungle fowl (RJF). Our study suggests that domestic chickens were initially derived from the RJF subspecies Gallus gallus spadiceus whose present-day distribution is predominantly in southwestern China, northern Thailand and Myanmar. Following their domestication, chickens were translocated across Southeast and South Asia where they interbred locally with both RJF subspecies and other jungle fowl species. In addition, our results show that the White Leghorn chicken breed possesses a mosaic of divergent ancestries inherited from other subspecies of RJF. Despite the strong episodic gene flow from geographically divergent lineages of jungle fowls, our analyses show that domestic chickens undergo genetic adaptations that underlie their unique behavioral, morphological and reproductive traits. Our study provides novel insights into the evolutionary history of domestic chickens and a valuable resource to facilitate ongoing genetic and functional investigations of the world's most numerous domestic animal.

Abstract
With the improvement of growth traits and feed conversion rate, the abdominal fat rate of Chinese local breeds of broilers has been increasing. Excessive abdominal fat deposition not only reduces the slaughter rate and disease resistance of broiler chickens, but also produces waste due to the difficulty of fat treatment. In order to study the regulatory genes and pathways involved in abdominal fat deposition of broilers, we used high-fat diets to feed the Xinghua Chicken, which is a Chinese local breed. Two weeks after feeding, we found that the abdominal fat weight and rate of broilers in the high-fat diet group increased significantly, and the diameter and area of abdominal fat cells also increased significantly. Transcriptome sequencing of abdominal fat and livers showed that the differentially expressed genes in the abdominal fat were mainly enriched in the cell cycle, peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor (PPAR) and extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor signaling pathways. The differentially expressed genes in livers were also significantly enriched in the cell cycle pathway, as well as in the steroid biosynthesis and PPAR signaling pathway. By analyzing the common differentially expressed genes in abdominal fat and liver tissues, we found that these genes were also enriched in cell cycle. Finally, we used the chicken LMH (chicken hepatoma cell) cell line and chicken ICP (immortalized chicken preadipocytes) cell line to do the in vitro validation assays. We used high-fat and common medium to culture the cells. The results showed that after 48 hours, the high-fat medium could significantly promote cell cycle and increase the number of cells in S phase. Additionally, qRT-PCR results showed that the high-fat medium could significantly promote the expression of genes related to cell cycle. In conclusion, we found that high-fat diets activate the cell cycle progression of chicken hepatocytes and preadipocytes, promote cell proliferation, and then increase abdominal fat deposition.

Abstract
Vitamin C, vitamin E, and alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) are potent nutritional antioxidants, which are important for enhancing immunity. This study compared the effects of supplementation with vitamin C, vitamin E, or ALA on the antioxidant defense system and the expression of immune-related genes under oxidative stress induced by dexamethasone (DEX) in broilers. In total, 240 one-day-old female Recessive White Rock chickens were assigned randomly to either a basal diet (control group) or basal diet supplemented with vitamin C (200 mg/kg diet), vitamin E (100 mg/kg), or ALA (500 mg/kg) for 28 d starting from hatching. At 21 d of age, birds fed the ALA-supplemented diet had the highest plasma total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) enzyme activities, and the lowest plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) activity, as well as the lowest mRNA gene expression levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha factor (LITAF). At 23 d of age, the broilers in the 3 treatment groups were injected in the thigh muscle with DEX for 3 alternating days. In addition, the control group was divided into 2 equal groups, in which one was injected with saline and the other was injected with DEX. At 28 d of age, the DEX-ALA group (P < 0.05) had the highest activity levels for T-AOC, T-SOD, and GSH-PX in the plasma and liver (P < 0.05), and the greatest reduction in the MDA level. Dietary ALA significantly decreased the mRNA expression levels of the interleukin 1 β (IL-1β), IL-6, IFN-γ, and LITAF genes compared with the other groups during oxidative stress by DEX. In conclusion, this study suggests that in broilers, ALA is more effective for normalizing the oxidative stress induced by DEX than vitamin C or vitamin E.

Abstract
The effects of introns, especially the first intron, on the regulation of gene expression remains unclear. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to investigate the transcriptional regulatory function of intron 1 on the chicken growth hormone (cGH) gene in the rat pituitary tumor cell line (GH4-C1). Transient transfection using first-intron-inserted cGH complete coding sequences (CDSs) and non-intron-inserted cGH CDS plasmids, quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot assays were used to detect the expression of cGH. The reporter gene assay was also used to investigate the effect of a series of fragments in the first intron of cGH on gene expression in GH4-C1. All of the results revealed that a 200-bp fragment located in the +485/+684 region of intron 1 was essential for repressing the expression of cGH. Further informatics analysis showed that there was a cluster of 13 transcriptional factor binding sites (TFBSs) in the +485/+684 region of the cGH intron 1. Disruption of a glucocorticoid response-like element (the 19-nucleotide sequence 5'-AGGCTTGACAGTGACCTCC-3') containing a T-box motif (TGACCT) located within this DNA fragment increased the expression of the reporter gene in GH4-C1. In addition, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) revealed a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) protein of rat binding to the glucocorticoid response-like element. Together, these results indicate that there is a negative glucocorticoid response-like element (nGRE) located in the +591/+609 region within the first intron of cGH, which is essential for the down-regulation of cGH expression.

Abstract
Turtles grow slowly and have a long lifespan. Ultrastructural studies of the pituitary gland in Reeves’ turtle (Chinemys reevesii) have revealed that the species possesses a higher nucleoplasmic ratio and fewer secretory granules in growth hormone (GH) cells than other animal species in summer and winter. C. reevesii GH gene was cloned and species-specific similarities and differences were investigated. The full GH gene sequence in C. reevesii contains 8517 base pairs (bp), comprising five exons and four introns. Intron 1 was found to be much longer in C. reevesii than in other species. The coding sequence (CDS) of the turtle’s GH gene, with and without the inclusion of intron 1, was transfected into four cell lines, including DF-1 chicken embryo fibroblasts, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, human embryonic kidney 293FT cells, and GH4C1 rat pituitary cells; the turtle growth hormone (tGH) gene mRNA and protein expression levels decreased significantly in the intron-containing CDS in these cell lines, compared with that of the corresponding intronless CDS. Thus, the long intron 1 of GH gene in Reeves’ turtle might correlate with downregulated gene expression.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the structure, expression, and biological functions of potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 15 (KCTD15) in chickens. We compared the KCTD15 expression level in samples of hypothalamic, adipose, and liver tissue of Xinghua chickens that were maintained on different dietary status. An association analysis of KCTD15 gene variant transcripts with fatness traits in a F2 resource population of chickens was performed. Three KCTD15 transcripts were identified in which the complete transcript was predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and the hypothalamus. The chicken KCTD15 gene was regulated by both feeding and fasting and consumption of a high-fat diet. The expression level of KCTD15 gene was markedly decreased in hypothalamus and liver of fasted and refed chickens (P < 0.05) and significantly downregulated in adipose tissue by the high-fat diet (P < 0.05). Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the KCTD15 gene were significantly associated with a number of fatness traits in chicken (P < 0.05). These results suggest that KCTD15 have a potential role regulation of obesity and fat metabolism in chickens.

Abstract
RFamide-related peptide (RFRP) gene is a crucial gene of the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis and plays an important role in reproduction regulation. This study aimed to clone and characterize the pig RFRP gene. We obtained a 645-bp cDNA of pig RFRP gene comprising a 546-bp open reading frame, which encoded a peptide of 188 amino acids. The pig RFRP coding sequences have the identities of 81, 68.8, and 76.1% with their counterparts in humans, mice, and rats, respectively. Real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that the pig RFRP gene was expressed predominantly in the stomach and testis of males, and large intestine and uterus of females. It was also found to be abundantly expressed in the cerebrum and liver tissues of both male and female pigs. The pig RFRP gene is 4.6 kb long and contains 3 exons and 2 introns. We further identified a total of 25 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 2 insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphisms across the whole RFRP gene, and 9 of them were in the exons. Marker trait association analysis in Yorkshire and Landrace populations showed that g.45859759C>T was significantly associated with the total number born of second parity (TBA2; P < 0.05). In conclusion, the pig RFRP gene was cloned and characterized in this study, and its polymorphism g.45859759C>T showed significant associations with reproductive traits.

Abstract
Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 and 2 encoding genes (Nramp1 and Nramp2) are related to many diseases. We cloned the cDNA of chicken Nramp1 and Nramp2 genes, characterized their expression and polymorphisms, and investigated the association of some SNPs with resistance to salmonellosis. The Nramp1 cDNA was 1746 bp long and the Nramp2 cDNA was 1938 bp long. These cDNAs are similar to previously reported cDNAs, varying by two and one amino acids, respectively. The chicken Nramp1 gene expressed predominantly in liver, thymus and spleen in both females and males. The Nramp2 gene expressed in almost all tissues, but predominantly in breast muscle, leg muscle, cerebrum, cerebellum, lung, kidney, and heart in both females and males. We identified 45 SNPs and 2 indels in the chicken Nramp1 gene; three of 13 SNPs in the exons were missense mutations (Arg223Gln, Ala273Glu and Arg497Gln). Association analysis indicated that A24101991G is significantly associated with chicken salmonellosis resistance. These results will be useful for functional investigation of chicken Nramp1 and Nramp2 genes.

Abstract
We looked for variations that could be associated with chicken egg number at 300 days of age (EN300) in seven genes of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, including gonadotrophin-releasing hormone-I (GnRH-I), GnRH receptor (GnRHR), neuropeptide Y (NPY), dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), VIP receptor-1 (VIPR-1), prolactin (PRL), and the QTL region between 87 and 105 cM of the Z chromosome. Ten mutations in the seven genes were chosen to do marker-trait association analyses in a population comprising 1310 chickens, which were obtained from a company located in Guangdong Province of China. The C1704887T of VIPR-1 was found to have a highly significant association with EN300. The T5841629C of DRD2 and the C1715301T of VIPR-1 were significantly associated with EN300. A highly significant association was also found between the C1704887T-C1715301T haplotypes of VIPR-1 and EN300. H1H3 had the highest EN300. Four PCR-RFLP variations in the candidate QTL region were selected to investigate their genetic effects on EN300. The haplotypes of T32742468C-G32742603A in this region showed a highly significant association with EN300. Bioinformatics analyses showed that both T32742468C and G32742603A were located in intron 1 of the SH3-domain GRB2-like 2 (SH3GL2) gene. We conclude that five SNPs, including C1704887T and C1715301T of VIPR-1, T5841629C of DRD2, and T32742468C and G32742603A of SH3GL2, would be useful as markers for breeding to increase chicken EN300.

Abstract
Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene regulates pigment synthesis in mammals, and therefore is regarded as an important candidate gene for dog coat color. Based on MC1R amino acids and cDNA sequences of 10 vertebrate animals released by NCBI, molecular evolution of dog MC1R gene was analyzed with bioinformatic software and internet resource. Results showed that 10 vertebrate animals were divided into two major groups, a compact group A (7 mammals) and an incompact group B (chicken, zebrafish and fugu). This phylogenetic tree was consistent with putative evolutionary relationship within these 10 species. Positive selection was detected during the evolutionary process of dog (also cat and pig) from cattle by PAML branch model (omega = 90.8177), and five amino acids of 2V, 25E, 184N, 197V and 314L of dog MC1R were predicted under positive selection by site model. Comparative linkage analysis of chromosome showed that "ZFP276-MC1R-GAS8" linkage group was conservative in human, chimpanzee, chicken and dog.

Abstract
Growth rate, body composition, and fat deposition are important traits in chickens. Insulin plays important roles in hepatic cells, muscle cells, and adipose tissue cells. The purpose of the present study was to analyze association of the insulin (INS) gene with chicken growth and body composition traits. Using a F2 design resource population constructed with the crossing of Chinese native Xinghua chickens and White Recessive Rock chickens, the association of 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP; A+428G, C+1549T, T+3737C, and A+3971G) of INS gene with 13 growth and body composition traits was studied. The T+3737C genotypes were significantly associated with small intestine length (P = 0.0002), and the A+3971G genotypes were significantly associated with early growth (hatch weight and BW at 28 d of age) (P < 0.0001), breast angle (P = 0.0002), and small intestine length (P < 0.0001). None of the 4 SNP was significantly associated with abdominal fat pad weight (P > 0.05). The haplotypes based on the 4 SNP were also significantly associated with early growth (hatch weight and BW at 28 d of age; P < 0.0001) and breast angle (P < 0.0001) but not with small intestine length (P = 0.0505). These results suggested that variation of the insulin gene was significantly associated with chicken early growth but not with fat deposition. In addition, the data from the present study supported the inference that both the one-SNP-at-a-time and the haplotype-based approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages when association analysis of one SNP and haplotypes with chicken complex traits was conducted.

Abstract
Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the chicken insulin-like factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) gene were selected to genotype a F2 designed population with restriction fragment length polymorphisms and single stranded-conformation polymorphisms. The associations of the SNP and their haplotypes with chicken growth and carcass traits were analyzed. Results showed that the difference induced by the haplotypes derived from the 5 SNP was more significant than that by the single SNP in the genotype-phenotype association analysis. The haplotypes were associated with BW at hatch and at 21, 28, 42, 49, 56, and 90 d of age, as well as eviscerated weight with giblets (EWG), eviscerated weight (EW), and weights of heart, liver, and gizzard (HLGW) (P < or = 0.01). The haplotypes were also related to BW at 7, 14, and 35 d of age, breast depth, carcass weight, and breast muscle weight (P < or = 0.05). Significant and suggestive dominant effects of H1H5 diplotype were detected for BW at 7, 14, 21, 28, and 90 d of age, as well as breast depth, carcass weight, eviscerated weight with giblets, eviscerated weight, breast muscle weight, leg muscle weight, and weights of heart, liver, and gizzard. It was concluded that H1H5 was the most advantageous diplotype, and H4H10 was the negative diplotype for growth and carcass traits.

Abstract
AIM To observe the inhibition of antisense oligonucleotides (asON) phosphorthioate to the tissue inhibitors metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) gene and protein expression in the liver tissue of immunologically induced hepatic fibrosis rats. The possibility of reversing hepatic fibrosis through gene therapy was observed. METHODS Human serum albumin (HSA) was used to attack rats, as hepatic fibrosis model, in which asONs were used to block the gene and protein expressing TIMP-1. According to the analysis of modulator, structure protein, coding series of TIMP-1 genome, we designed four different asONs. These asONs were injected into the hepatic fibrosis models through coccygeal vein. The results was observed by RT-PCR for measuring TIMP-1 mRNA expression, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization for collagen I, II, special staining of collagen fiber, and electron microscopic examination. RESULTS Hepatic fibrosis could last within 363 days in our modified model. The expressing level of TIMP-1 was high during hepatic fibrosis process. It has been proved by the immunohistochemical and the electron microscopic examination that the asON phosphorthioate of TIMP-1 could exactly express in vivo. The effect of colchicine was demonstrated to inhibit the expressing level of mRNA and the content of collagen I, III in the liver of experimental hepatic fibrosis rats. However, the electron microscopy research and the pathologic grading of hepatic fibrosis showed that there was no significant difference between the treatment group and the model group (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION The experimental rat model of hepatic fibrosis is one of the preferable models to estimate the curative effect of anti-hepatic fibrosis drugs. The asON phosphorthioate of TIMP-1 could block the gene and protein expression of TIMP-1 in the liver of experimental hepatic fibrosis rats at the mRNA level. It is possible to reverse hepatic fibrosis, and it is expected to study a new drug of antihepatic fibrosis on the genetic level. Colchicine has very limited therapeutic effect on hepatic fibrosis, furthermore, its toxicity and side effects are obvious.
