(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-09) MATOS, Amanda de Sousa; SENA, Josynélia do Socorro da Silva; MARCONDES, Cíntia Righetti; LÔBO, Raysildo Barbosa; RORATO, Paulo Roberto Nogara; CUCCO, Diego de Córdova; ARAÚJO, Ronyere Olegário de; BEZERRA, Luiz Antonio Framartino
Genotype-environment interaction was studied by two different procedures in productive and reproductive traits of Nellore cattle. Data from adjusted weights at 120 (P120), 210 (P210), 450 (P450) days of age, scrotal circumference at 450 days of age (PE450) and age at first calving (IPP) for 211,744 records from Nellore herds located in the Legal Amazon region were used in the analysis. The effect of genotypeenvironment interaction was studied through heritability estimates and rank correlation, comparing the Legal Amazon animals with the general basis of animals – PMGRN Nellore Brazil. Bi-trait analyses considered P120 as anchor-trait with P210, P450 and PE450 as another one. IPP has been analyzed separately in single-trait analysis and considering GCIPP as fixed and additive and residual effects as random. Estimates of heritability for P120, P210, P450, PE450 and IPP on the data of the Legal Amazon were: 0.20 to 0.49; 0.21; 0.48; 0.45; and 0.21, respectively, and in general data of PMGRN – Nellore Brazil were: 0.23; 0.25; 0.34; 0.43 and 0.11, respectively. Correlations between rank for P120, P210, P450, PE450 and IPP were equal to 0.77; 0.79; 0.82; 0.78 and 0.38, respectively. The analysis of the genotypeenvironment interaction, through the heritability estimates, showed larger effects on maternal, weight at 450 days of age and age at first calving, whereas the rank correlations showed strong evidence in almost all traits studied.

Isolamento, caracterização e análise da multipotência de células-tronco adultas derivadas do tecido adiposo de bovinos e bubalinos

Adult stem cells are known for their potential and plasticity to differentiate into several different cell types (multipotency), which has implications for cell therapy as well as reproductive biotechnologies. In the present work we report isolation and characterization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adipose tissue of cattle and buffaloes. Cells isolated by enzymatic digestion of adipose-tissue biopsy were grown for at least ten passages in vitro giving support to of their proliferative capacity. These cells were also subjected to immunophenotypic characterization to visualize the presence, of CD90, CD105 and CD79, and absence, of CD45, CD34 and CD73, wich are positive and negative markers of MSCs, respectively. In order to determine their multipotency, the cells were induced to differentiate into three different cell types and stained with tissue-specific dyes (Chondrogenic-Alcian Blue, Osteogenic- Alizarin Red and Adipogenic-Oil-Red O) to ensure their differentiation into chondrocytes, ostoblasts and adipocytes. Our results indicate that adipose tissue of cattle and buffaloes can be used as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), turning them into an interesting option of animal models for cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Additionally, these cells may be relevant for reproductive biotechnology since the use of MSCs as nuclear donors has been linked to an increase in the developmental rates of cloned embryos.
