Background Because of the central functions mitochondria in providing metabolic energy and initiating apoptosis on one hand role that microRNA (miRNA) play gene expression, we hypothesized some miRNA could be present for post-transcriptomic regulation by RNA interference. We intend to identify localized isolated from human skeletal primary muscular cells. Methodology/Principal Findings To investigate potential origin mitochondrial miRNA, in-silico searched candidates mtDNA. Twenty five...
To date, genome-scale analyses in the domestic horse have been limited by suboptimal single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) density and uneven genomic coverage of current SNP genotyping arrays. The recent availability whole genome sequences has created opportunity to develop a next generation, high-density equine array. Using sequence from 153 individuals representing 24 distinct breeds collated genomics community, we cataloged over 23 million de novo discovered genetic variants. Leveraging...
The horse is central to many Indigenous cultures across the American Southwest and Great Plains. However, when how horses were first integrated into lifeways remain contentious, with extant models derived largely from colonial records. We conducted an interdisciplinary study of assemblage historic archaeological remains, integrating genomic, isotopic, radiocarbon, paleopathological evidence. Archaeological modern North show strong Iberian genetic affinities, later influx British sources, but...
Abstract Horses revolutionized human history with fast mobility 1 . However, the timeline between their domestication and widespread integration as a means of transport remains contentious 2–4 Here we assemble collection 475 ancient horse genomes to assess period when these animals were first reshaped by agency in Eurasia. We find that reproductive control modern domestic lineage emerged around 2200 bce , through close-kin mating shortened generation times. Reproductive following severe...
The family of long noncoding mitochondrial RNAs (ncmtRNAs), comprising sense (SncmtRNA), and antisense (ASncmtRNA-1 ASncmtRNA-2) members, are differentially expressed according to cell proliferative status; SncmtRNA is in all proliferating cells, while ASncmtRNAs normal but downregulated tumor cells. ASncmtRNA knockdown with an oligonucleotide induces massive apoptosis lines, without affecting healthy Apoptotic death preceded by proliferation blockage, suggesting that these transcripts...

The purpose this study was to determine normal distribution vertical component hoof force using a measuring boot. measurements were carried out 20 sound horses walking trotting on straight hard track. horseshoe, attached foot with boot, provided continuous recording forces at four locations hoof. For each location, computer program produced curves...
Abstract The adaptive response to extreme endurance exercise might involve transcriptional and translational regulation by microRNAs (miRNAs). Therefore, the objective of present study was perform an integrated analysis blood transcriptome miRNome (using microarrays) in horse before after a 160 km competition. A total 2,453 differentially expressed genes 167 were identified when comparing pre- post-ride samples. We used hypergeometric test its generalization gain better understanding...
Falls are common in the elderly, and potentially result injury disability. Thus, preventing falls as soon possible older adults is a public health priority, yet there no specific marker that predictive of first fall onset. We hypothesized gait features should be most relevant variables for predicting fall. Clinical baseline characteristics (e.g., gender, cognitive function) were assessed 259 home-dwelling people aged 66 to 75 had never fallen. Likewise, global kinetic behavior was recorded...
Summary Dressage is one of the Olympic equestrian sports practiced in several countries using different horse breeds. Specific characteristics walk, trot and canter are required for dressage. It has been assumed that some these traits could be selected genetically contribute to dressage performance. The purpose this study was compare conformation young horses breeds used A total 142 age 3 years were classified into groups (German, French Spanish saddle horses) tested same procedure. skeletal...
Endurance horses are able to run at more than 20 km/h for 160 km (in bouts of 30-40 km). This level performance is based on intense aerobic metabolism, effective body heat dissipation and the ability endure painful exercise. The known heritabilities endurance exercise-related physiological traits in Arabian suggest that adaptation extreme exercise influenced by genetic factors. objective present genome-wide association study (GWAS) was identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related...
Endurance exercise in horses requires adaptive processes involving physiological, biochemical, and cognitive-behavioral responses an attempt to regain homeostasis. We hypothesized that the identification of relationships between blood metabolome, transcriptome, miRNome during endurance could provide significant insights into molecular response exercise. For this reason, serum metabolome whole-blood transcriptome data were obtained from ten before after a 160 km competition. global regulatory...
An integrated analysis of gut microbiota, blood biochemical and metabolome in 52 endurance horses was performed. Clustering by microbiota revealed the existence two communities mainly driven diet as host properties showed little effect. Community 1 presented lower richness diversity, but higher dominance rarity species, including some pathobionts. Moreover, its composition tightly linked to metabolites related lipid metabolism glycolysis at basal time. Despite fiber intake, community type...

Erythropoietin (EPO) is known to improve exercise performance by increasing oxygen blood transport and thus inducing a higher maximum uptake (VO2max). Furthermore, treatment with (or overexpression of) EPO induces protective effects in several tissues, including the myocardium. However, it not whether exerts this effect when present at physiological levels. Given that receptors have been identified skeletal muscle, we hypothesized may direct, on tissue. Thus, objectives of study were confirm...
