Comparative transcriptomic profiling of breast-milk isolated total somatic cells from women with mastitis following the consumption of a probiotic containing a Lactobacillus salivarius PS2 strain

ABSTRACT: We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in somatic cells from breast-milk extracted from women suffering from mastitis and taking a daily dose of three capsules with ~50 mg of a freeze-dried probiotic (~109 CFU of L. salivarius PS2 strain) for 21 days. Healthy women were subjected to the same treatment for comparison. The aim of this work was to determine whether the daily intake of a probiotic strain for a total of 21 days exerted any modulatory effects, at the level of gene expression, in somatic cells from breast-milk in women with mastitis. Women were divided into 2 groups: mastitis and healthy. Total RNA was extracted from breast-milk isolated cells obtained from 10 participants (7 women from the mastitis group and 3 women from the healthy group) at day 0 (initial) and after 21 days (final) to compare differential gene expression between the groups. Differential gene expression after 21 days of the study for each group: mastitis and healthy

Project description:Bovine mastitis, the infection of the mammary gland which leads to great health and economic challenges for dairy farmers is accompanied by dramatic changes in the milk proteome. In this study of naturally occurring mastitis not only have the changes in the milk proteome been quantified in subclinical and clinical mastitis but simultaneous changes in the serum proteome have also been characterised and quantified. Milk and serum samples from healthy dairy cows (n=12) were compared to those of cows with subclinical (n=10) and clinical mastitis (n=112) using TMT label-based proteomic approach. The study included the milk and serum samples taken from thirty-two dairy cows ( kept on private farms located in Croatia. All cows were checked by physical examination. Somatic cells count (SCC) and mastitis test in milk samples were performed. According to the results, cows were assigned into three groups: Group I (control, n=10) consisted of healthy cows with SCC below 400,000 cells/ml on the monthly check-up and a negative mastitis test and without any clinical sign of mastitis. Group II (subclinical mastitis, n=12) comprised cows without clinical signs of mastitis but with SCC above 400,000 cells/ml on the monthly basis and a positive mastitis test at the time of sampling. Group III (clinical mastitis, n=10) consisted of cows with clinical signs of mastitis which include changes in milk appearance (flakes and clots in milk), different stages of udder inflammation (hyperemia, edema, pain, udder enlargement and elevated udder temperature) and disturbance of general health (depression, relaxed cold ears, dehydration, elevated body temperature, increased heart and respiratory rate, decreased ruminal contraction and decreased appetite). Blood samples were taken from v. coccygea and centrifuged at 3000 g for 15 min after clotting for two hours at room temperature. Serum samples were stored at -80°C until analysis. Milk samples were taken aseptically before the morning milking. First few streams were discarded. Teat ends were disinfected with cotton swabs soaked with 70% ethanol. Samples were taken into sterile tubes and transported to laboratory on ice within a few hours.
