Characterization of the C5H11ORF96 gene in chickens: cloning, tissue distribution and investigation of its potential function in stress response regulation by Yiping Wan, Jiannan Zhang, Xiao Zhang, Jiliang He, Ningkun Shi, Yuanyou Li, Juan Li, Yajun Wang

“…Our results showed that: (1) cC5H11ORF96 cDNA encodes a 120 amino acids protein, which shares high sequence identity with that of birds, mammals, reptiles, frogs and fish; (2) cC5H11ORF96 has a fully conserved RFKTQP motif and high proportion of serine, indicating its multiple potential phosphorylation sites; (3) cC5H11ORF96 is widely expressed in various chicken tissues, with high expression levels in the parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pituitary; (4) glucocorticoids (GCs) and stress significantly upregulate C5H11ORF96 mRNA and protein expression in the chicken pituitary and hypothalamus, suggesting its involvement in regulating stress response by influencing the negative feedback of GCs on the HPA axis in chickens. …”

“…From the age of 90 days signs of age involution in the organ were observed, and in the experimental group these processes were going more physiologically in accordance with the age of the birds. Introduction of the organic and selenium additive DAFS-25k in the diet of ducklings at a dose of 1.3 mg/kg of feed promoted the increase of the functional activity of the thymus that leveled the development of accidental involution and optimization of age involution.…”

Individual differences in developmental trajectory leave a male polyphenic signature in bulb mite populations by Deere, Jacques A., Smallegange, Isabel M.

“…If, like in mammals and birds where early-life stress effects are extensively studied, we account for such pre-adult viability selection in coldblooded species, it would allow us to (i) better characterise natural selection on trait development like male polyphenisms, (ii) understand how it can affect the response to other selections in adulthood, and (iii) understand how such trait dynamics influence, and are influenced by, population dynamics. …”
