ADITIVO A BASE DE EXTRATOS VEGETAIS COMO ALTERNATIVA À MONENSINA SÓDICA NA DIETA DE VACAS DE CORTE TERMINADAS EM CONFINAMENTO / HERBAL EXTRACT ADDITIVE AS ALTERNATIVE FOR MONENSIN ON FEEDLOT CULL COWS DIET

Segabinazzi, Luciane Rumpel 28 February 2008 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect on performance and ingestive behavior of herbal extract additive as an alternative for monensine on feedlot cull cows diet. Twenty four cull cows, Charolais (CH) vs. Nellore (NE) crossbred, being each treatment composed by eight animals, between then one CH; one NE; one ¾ CH e ¼ NE; one ¾ NE e ¼ CH; two 11/16 CH e 5/16 NE and two 11/16 NE e 5/16 CH, with initial age and live weight of 7 years and 423 kg, respectively, were used. The roughage:concentrate ratio was of 62:38, constituted by sorghum silage and concentrate composed by wheat bran, corn, limestone and sodic chlorate. The experimental diets were: EVE basic diet + 5 mg of herbal extract additive; MON - basic diet + 300 mg of monensin and CON control group, without additive. The herbal extract used was Rumex® and monensin was obtained with Rumensin®. The quantity of additive used was the higher one recommended by manufacturers. Feedlot period was of 64 days. The complete randomized experimental design was used, wit a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement (3 diets and 2 racial predominance) and the averages were compared by t test with 5% and 10% of probability. No interaction between diet and racial predominance was observed and additives inclusion didn t affect animal s performance and food intake. Animals with Charolais racial predominance (CRP) obtained higher weight gain (P<.05) and dry mater intake (P<.10) and better feed conversion (P<.10) then Nellore racial predominance (NRP) animals. The EVE diet proportioned higher (P<.05) rumination time, number of ruminal chews per bolus, rumination time per bolus. / O presente estudo objetivou avaliar o uso de aditivos a base de extratos vegetais como alternativa à monensina sódica na dieta de vacas de descarte terminadas em confinamento, através do desempenho e comportamento ingestivo. Foram utilizados 24 animais cruzas Charolês (CH) x Nelore (NE), sendo cada tratamento composto por oito animais dentre eles: um CH; um NE; um ¾ CH e ¼ NE; um ¾ NE e ¼ CH; dois 11/16 CH e 5/16 NE e dois 11/16 NE e 5/16 CH, com idade e peso vivo inicial de sete anos e 423 kg, respectivamente. A relação volumoso:concentrado da dieta foi de 62:38, composta de silagem de sorgo e concentrado constituído de farelo de trigo, milho, calcário calcítico e cloreto de sódio. As dietas experimentais foram: EVE dieta básica + 5 mg do aditivo a base de extrato vegetal; MON dieta básica + 300 mg de monensina sódica; CON sem aditivo. O aditivo natural utilizado foi o Rumex® e a monensina sódica foi obtida através do produto comercial Rumensin®. A quantidade de aditivo utilizada no experimento foi a máxima recomendada pelos fabricantes. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado com arranjo fatorial 3 x 2 (3 dietas e 2 predominâncias) e as médias comparadas pelo teste t ao nível de 5% e 10% de probabilidade. Não houve interação, e o uso dos aditivos não influenciou (P>0,05) no desempenho e o consumo dos animais. Os animais com predominância racial (PCH) apresentaram maior (P<0,05) ganho de peso vivo diário e maior (P<0,10) consumo de matéria seca e melhor (P<0,10) conversão alimentar que os animais de predominância (PNE).

La régulation de l'hormone anti-müllerienne (AMH) et de son récepteur de type 2 (AMHR2) par les bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) au sein de l'ovaire : caractérisation et conséquences au niveau phenotypique dans les espèces ovines et porcines / The regulation of the anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and its type 2 receptor (AMHR2) by the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in the ovary : characterization and consequences for phenotype in sheep and swine

Estienne, Anthony 04 February 2015 (has links)
La compréhension de la régulation de l’AMH et de son récepteur spécifique, l’AMHR2, par les BMPs a amené un éclairage nouveau sur leur rôle dans le développement folliculaire et la régulation du taux d’ovulation. Nos résultats se basent sur l’étude de 4 modèles ovins porteurs de mutations Fec, mutations qui affectent des membres de la famille des BMPs, à savoir leur ligand BMP15 ou leur récepteur. Ces mutations se traduisent phénotypiquement par une baisse de l’expression de l’AMH ou de son récepteur dans les cellules folliculaires, et des ovulations multiples chez les brebis porteuses. D’un point de vue mécanistique, nos résultats ont mis en évidence une régulation de l’AMH et de l’AMHR2 par les BMPs in vivo et in vitro, passant par le récepteur BMPR1B, et s’exerçant sur l’activité transcriptionnelle du promoteur de l’AMH via SMAD1 et SF1. Cette régulation a également été en partie mise en évidence dans l’espèce porcine avec une observation supplémentaire dans ce modèle : un taux d’ovulation naturellement très élevé est associé à une faible production ovarienne d’AMH. Ces observations mettent en exergue le rôle possible de l’AMH dans la régulation du taux d’ovulation. / The understanding of the regulation of AMH and its specific receptor, AMHR2, by the BMPs, brought a new highlight on their role in the regulation of follicular development and the control of ovulation rate. Our results are based on the study of 4 sheep models carrying Fec mutations which affect different members of the BMPs family, namely their ligand BMP15 or their receptor, Mutations result phenotypically in a low expression of AMH or AMHR2 in the granulosa cells of ovarian follicles, and multiple ovulations in carrier ewes.. From a mechanistic point of view, the results demonstrated the in vivo and in vitro regulation of AMH and AMHR2 by BMPs, acting through the BMPR1B receptor and enhancing the transcriptional activity of the AMH promoter via SMAD1 and SF1. This regulation has also been partially demonstrated in swine with an additional observation in this model: a naturally high ovulation rate is associated with a low ovarian production of AMH. In conclusion, these observations show a possible role of the AMH in the regulation of ovulation rate.

Tat-independent lentivirus genomes for vaccination and host/pathogen interaction studies / Génomes de lentivirus Tat indépendants pour des études de vaccination et les interactions hôte/pathogène

Bose, Deepanwita 26 January 2017 (has links)
Notre laboratoire a développé un prototype de vaccin unique contre le VIH-1 / SIDA. C'est un un lentivecteur ADN non-intégratif qui a été testé dans une étude pilote utilisant des modèles animaux. L'étude a montré la protection de tous les macaques (6/6) vaccinés et la réponse était composée de cellules effectrices (EM) et des cellules T mémoire centrale (CM). Plus important encore, elle contenait également des cellules antigène spécifique à haute capacité de prolifération contenant des cellules T mémoire de type cellule souche (TSCM). Durant le travail de cette thèse, le génome vaccinal a été encore amélioré en commutant son enveloppe dotée de tropisme CXCR4 contre des enveloppes à tropisme CCR5 de virus de clade B (WARO) obtenu à partir d'un patient infecté de façon chronique et de trois souches de VIH-1 de Clade C transmetteur foundateur (T/F) de patients Zambiens. Une deuxième amélioration du vaccin a été réalisée en modifiant le génome afin qu’il puisse incorporer des adjuvants moléculaires capables d'améliorer d’avantage son immunogénicité.Etant donné que le lentivirus humain VIH-1 a développé plusieurs stratégies complexes pour persister, l’autre partie de la thèse a été consacrée à développer un outil pour comprendre la latence dans les cellules T CD4 + de la mémoire infectée. Les cellules latentes ont des génomes d'ADN viral intégrés non exprimés. Un des principaux mécanismes de cette latence est l'absence de transactivation du promoteur LTR par Tat. Les développements récents de la thérapie antivirale hautement active (HAART) efficace pour contrôler les cellules infectées circulantes et dans les tissus reste inefficaces contre les cellules du réservoir composé de cellules infectées latentes. Un des obstacles pour ce type d'études est l'absence de prototypes de lentivirus de primates appropriés incapables de d’effectuer la latence pour s’en servir comme modèle d'infection extrême dans l'évaluation. Nous avons émis l'hypothèse qu'un génome SHIV réplicatifdont l’expression est sous le contrôle de LTR du CAEV, Tat-indépendant doté de promoteur constitutif constituera un outil précieux pour de telles études. Nous avons conçu des LTRs chimères de CAEV portant les séquences d'attachement de celles du SIV à leurs extrémités et nous les ont utilisés pour contrôler l’expression du génome complet de SHIV-KU2. La construction résultante est SHIV-YCC qui devrait générer un virus qui ne n’effectue pas de latence en absence de Tat. Nous avons observé que les cellules transfectées avec le génome SHIV-YCC produisent des protéines SHIV qui s’assemblent en particules infectieuses excrétées des cellules. Les virions sont capables d'infecter les lymphocytes T CD4 + cibles tant dans les PBMC primaires que dans les lignées cellulaires. Le passage en série du virus dans les PBMC de macaques augmente la réplication et l'infectiosité du virus. SHIV-YCC est le premier lentivirus chimérique réplicatif de primates qui exprime de manière constitutive toutes les protéines virales. Ce nouveau modèle offre la possibilité d'étudier les événements précoces par lesquels le provirus subit une latence, en particulier lorsque le gène de l'enveloppe sera remplacé par celui du T / F CCR5 tropique VIH-1. / Our lab has previously described the generation of a unique vaccine prototype against HIV-1/AIDS. It is a non-integrative DNA lentivector vaccine tested in pilot studies in animal models of HIV vaccine. The non-human primate study showed protection of all 6/6 macaques and immune response correlates were composed of a variety of effector (EM) and central memory (CM) T cells. More importantly, they also contained high proliferating antigen specific cells containing a type of stem cell-like memory T cells (TSCM). In this thesis the vaccine was enhanced further by switching the CXCR4 envelope of the vaccine to CCR5 tropic envelopes such as the clade B WARO obtained from a chronically infected patient and a series of three transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV Clade C strains from Zambia. To improve further the vaccine we developed new strategies to incorporate molecular adjuvants able to enhance and sustain the newly elicited immune responses.Since the human lentivirus HIV-1 has developed multiple complex strategies to persist, the focus of the next part of my thesis was to develop a tool to ease and better understand the underlying mechanisms of latency in infected memory CD4+ T cells. Latently-infected cells have non-expressed integrated viral DNA genomes. One of the main mechanisms of this latency is absence of Tat transactivation of the LTR promoter. The recent focus post development of efficient highly active antiviral therapy (HAART), is the cure of the reservoir of latently infected cells. One of the obstacles for this type of studies is the lack of proper primate lentivirus prototypes incapable of undergoing latency as extreme infection model in the evaluation. We hypothesized that a replication-competent SHIV genome driven by the Tat-independent constitutive-expression LTRs of CAEV will be a valuable tool for such studies. We designed chimeric CAEV LTRs bearing the attachment sequences of SIV at their extremities and used them to drive the complete genome of SHIV-KU2. The resulting construct is SHIV-YCC which is expected to generate virus that will not undergo latency due to absence of Tat. We found that cells transfected with SHIV-YCC genome produce SHIV proteins that are assembled into infectious particles released out of the cells. Virions are able to infect target CD4+ T cells both in primary PBMCs and cell lines. Passaged virus in macaques PBMCs increased virus replication and infectivity. SHIV-YCC is the first chimeric primate replication-competent lentivirus that constitutively expresses all viral proteins. This new model offers the possibility of studying the early events by which provirus undergoes latency particularly when the envelop gene will be replaced with that of the T/F CCR5 tropic HIV-1.
