Most CD8(+) T cells in cultures of bovine mononuclear cells stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin C1 develop an unusual phenotype characterized by expression of activation molecule 3 (ACT3). This superantigen-dependent phenotype may be relevant to immunopathogenesis mediated by certain microbial toxins. The size and N-terminal sequence of immunoprecipitated ACT3 indicate that ACT3 is the bovine orthologue of CD26. ...[more]

Project description:Although many effects of staphylococcal superantigens (SAg) on T cells are well established, less is known about their effects on APC. In this study, bovine PBMC were stimulated with a low dose of staphylococcal enterotoxin C1 (SEC1). The phenotype of adherent cells (Ac) derived from bovine PBMC cultured with SEC1 [SEC1-stimulated Ac (sAc)] for 192 h was CD14(-), CD68(-), CD163(-), dendritic cell (DC)-specific ICAM-3-grabbing nonintegrin(+), MHC class II (MHC II)(high), CD11a(low), CD11b(high), CD11c(high), and CD1b(high), suggesting these cells were dendritic cells (DC). SEC1 also induced transcription of the CXCL1, -2, and -3 family, CXCL6, CCL2, and CCL5 genes in sAc, which increased rapidly but returned to basal levels by 48 h. In contrast, increased transcription of CCL3, CCL8, and CXCL12, responsible for mononuclear cell migration and chronic inflammation, was sustained. In vitro cell migration assays showed vigorous migration of granulocytes, followed by migration of mononuclear cells. The autologous MLR showed that sAc induced a dose-dependent proliferation of CD4(+) T cells and an even stronger proliferation of CD8(+) T cells. This effect was inhibited or reduced by pretreatment with mAb to CD11b, MHC II, or MHC II plus CD18. These results indicate that stimulation of bovine PBMC by SAg induces differentiation of monocytes into DC.

Project description:Bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) are the main cells of the dairy cow mammary gland. In addition to their role in milk production, they are effector cells of mammary immunity. However, there is little information about changes in metabolites of bMECs when stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This study describes a metabolomics analysis of the LPS-stimulated bMECs to provide a basis for the identification of potential diagnostic screening biomarkers and possible treatments for bovine mammary gland inflammation. In the present study, bMECs were challenged with 500?ng/mL LPS and samples were taken at 0?h, 12?h and 24?h post stimulation. Metabolic changes were investigated using high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF MS) with univariate and multivariate statistical analyses. Clustering and metabolic pathway changes were established by MetaboAnalyst. Sixty-three differential metabolites were identified, including glycerophosphocholine, glycerol-3-phosphate, L-carnitine, L-aspartate, glutathione, prostaglandin G2, ?-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. They were mainly involved in eight pathways, including D-glutamine and D-glutamic acid metabolism; linoleic acid metabolism; ?-linolenic metabolism; and phospholipid metabolism. The results suggest that bMECs are able to regulate pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, antioxidation and energy-producing related metabolites through lipid, antioxidation and energy metabolism in response to inflammatory stimuli.

Project description:Transcriptomic profiling of ovine skin lymph dendritic cell subsets CD26+ and CD26- compared to total enriched lymph dendritic cells. CD26+ and CD26- dendritic cells (DC) from sheep skin lymph were sorted by flow cytometry and were analysed for their transcriptomic profile. We demonstrate that the minor sheep CD26+ skin lymph DC subset shares significant transcriptomic similarities with mouse CD8a+ and human BDCA3+ DC. This allowed the identification of a common set of phenotypic characteristics for CD8a-like DC in the 3 mammalian species, i.e. SIRPlo, CADM1hi, CLEC9Ahi, DEC205hi, XCR1hi. Compared to CD26- DC, the sheep CD26+ DC show (1) potent stimulation of allogeneic naive CD8+ T cells with high selective induction of the Ifn-gamma and Il22 genes; (2) dominant efficacy in activating specific CD8+ T cells against exogenous soluble antigen; (3) selective expression of functional pathways associated to high capacity for antigen cross-presentation.

Project description:Oxytocin (OXT) is a peptide hormone that binds the OXT receptor on myometrial cells, initiating an intracellular signaling cascade, resulting in accumulation of intracellular calcium and smooth muscle contraction. In other systems, an elevation of intracellular Ca(2+) stimulates nuclear translocation of the transcription factor, nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT), which is transcriptionally active in arterial and ileal smooth muscle. Here we have investigated the role of NFAT in the mechanism of action of OXT. Human myometrial cells expressed all five NFAT isoforms (NFATC1-C4 and -5). Myometrial cells were transduced with a recombinant adenovirus expressing a NFATC1-EFP reporter, and a semi-automated imaging system was used to monitor effects of OXT on reporter localization in live cells. OXT induced a concentration-dependent nuclear translocation of NFATC1-EFP in a reversible manner, which was inhibited by OXT antagonists and calcineurin inhibitors. Pulsatile stimulation with OXT caused intermittent, pulse-frequency-dependent, nuclear translocation of NFATC1-EFP, which was more efficient than sustained stimulation. OXT induced nuclear translocation of endogenous NFAT that was transcriptionally active, because OXT stimulated activity of a NFAT-response element-luciferase reporter and induced calcineurin-NFAT dependent expression of RGS2, RCAN1, and PTGS2 (COX2) mRNA. Furthermore, OXT-dependent transcription was dependent on protein neosynthesis; cycloheximide abolished RGS2 transcription but augmented RCAN1 and COX2 transcriptional readouts. This study identifies a novel signaling mechanism within the myometrium, whereby calcineurin-NFAT signaling mediates OXT-induced transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we show NFATC1-EFP is responsive to pulses of OXT, a mechanism by which myometrial cells could decode OXT pulse frequency.

Project description:The main purpose of this study was to explore the effect of tea tree oil (TTO) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mastitis model using isolated bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMEC). This mastitis model was used to determine cellular responses to TTO and LPS on cellular cytotoxicity, mRNA abundance and cytokine production. High-throughput sequencing was used to select candidate genes, followed by functional evaluation of those genes. In the first experiment, LPS at a concentration of 200 ?g/mL reduced cell proliferation, induced apoptosis and upregulated protein concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1). Addition of TTO led to reduced cellular apoptosis along with downregulated protein concentrations of nuclear factor kappa B, mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 (MAPK4) and caspase-3. In the second experiment, BMEC challenged with LPS had a total of 1,270 differentially expressed genes of which 787 were upregulated and 483 were downregulated. Differentially expressed genes included TNF-?, IL6, STAT1, and MAPK4. Overall, results showed that TTO (at least in vitro) has a protective effect against LPS-induced mastitis. Further in vivo research should be performed to determine strategies for using TTO for prevention and treatment of mastitis and improvement of milk quality.

Project description:CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV is a cell surface glycoprotein which consists of multiple functional domains beside its ectopeptidase site. A growing body of evidence indicates that elevated expression of CD26 correlates with disease aggressiveness and invasive potential of selected malignancies. To further explore the molecular mechanisms involved in this clinical behavior, our current work focused on the interaction between CD26 and CD9, which were recently identified as novel markers for cancer stem cells in malignant mesothelioma. We found that CD26 and CD9 co-modulated and co-precipitated with each other in the malignant mesothelioma cell lines ACC-MESO1 and MSTO-211H. SiRNA study revealed that depletion of CD26 led to increased CD9 expression, while depletion of CD9 resulted in increased CD26 expression. Consistent with these findings was the fact that gene transfer of CD26 into CD26-negative MSTO-211H cells reduced CD9 expression. Cell invasion assay showed that overexpression of CD26 or gene depletion of CD9 led to enhanced invasiveness, while CD26 gene depletion resulted in reduced invasive potential. Furthermore, our work suggested that this enhanced invasiveness may be partly mediated by α5β1 integrin, since co-precipitation studies demonstrated an association between CD26 and α5β1 integrin. Finally, gene depletion of CD9 resulted in elevated protein levels and tyrosine phosphorylation of FAK and Cas-L, which are downstream of β1 integrin, while depletion of CD26 led to a reduction in the levels of these molecules. Collectively, our findings suggest that CD26 potentiates tumor cell invasion through its interaction with α5β1 integrin, and CD9 negatively regulates tumor cell invasion by reducing the level of CD26-α5β1 integrin complex through an inverse correlation between CD9 and CD26 expression. Our results also suggest that CD26 and CD9 serve as potential biomarkers as well as promising molecular targets for novel therapeutic approaches in malignant mesothelioma and other malignancies.

Project description:Mastitis is the most prevalent disease in dairy cattle worldwide and not only causes huge economic losses in the dairy industry but also threatens public health. To evaluate the therapeutic potential of melatonin in mastitis, we examined the ability of melatonin to protect bovine mammary epithelial cells (bMECs) from the harmful effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We found that melatonin inhibited the LPS-binding protein-CD14-TLR4 signaling pathway in bMECs, which had opposing effects on pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. Melatonin decreased LPS-induced expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and positive acute-phase proteins (APPs), including tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, granulocyte-monocyte colony-stimulating factor, chemokine CC motif ligand (CCL)2, CCL5, serum amyloid A, haptoglobin, C-reactive protein, ceruloplasmin, and α-1 antitrypsin, and increased expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1Ra and the negative APP fibrinogen. In addition, melatonin increased dityrosine levels but suppressed nitrite levels by upregulating the expression of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 in the Nrf2 antioxidant defense pathway. Finally, melatonin administration increased the viability of LPS-stimulated bMECs. These results suggest that melatonin protects bMECs from LPS-induced inflammatory and oxidant stress damage and provide evidence that melatonin might have therapeutic utility in mastitis.

Project description:The role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is well documented in immune homeostasis and protection against autoimmune disease. Forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) has been shown to be essential for the development and function of T(reg). Due to the lack of tools for FOXP3 detection in certain species, understanding the role of Treg in a variety of ruminant diseases has been hampered. In this study, we developed monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against bovine FOXP3 using recombinant bovine FOXP3 lacking the forkhead domain as an immunogen. The specificity of the mAbs was confirmed by immunoblot and mass spectrometry. Expression of FOXP3 was induced in bovine PBMCs after 6 d of exposure to staphylococcal enterotoxin type C1 (SEC1) in vitro. Similar to findings in mice and humans, expression of FOXP3 was restricted to CD4+ CD25+ T cells. Transcriptional analysis of bovine TCR variable regions of the beta chain (boVbeta) showed that transcription of boVbeta sequences reactive with SEC1 increased for 6 d, and then boVbeta sequences non-reactive with SEC1 rapidly increased in the cultures. This indicates that induction of FOXP3+ CD4+ CD25+ Tregs by SEC1 is not Vbeta restricted. The FOXP3 mAbs developed in this study will be useful in the further investigation of the role of Treg in staphylococcal pathogenesis in bovine mastitis and other ruminant diseases.

Project description:Using whole-genome microarray data sets of the Immunological Genome Project, we demonstrate a closer transcriptional relationship between NK cells and T cells than between any other leukocytes, distinguished by their shared expression of genes encoding molecules with similar signaling functions. Whereas resting NK cells are known to share expression of a few genes with cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells, our transcriptome-wide analysis demonstrates that the commonalities extend to hundreds of genes, many encoding molecules with unknown functions. Resting NK cells demonstrate a 'preprimed' state compared with naive T cells, which allows NK cells to respond more rapidly to viral infection. Collectively, our data provide a global context for known and previously unknown molecular aspects of NK cell identity and function by delineating the genome-wide repertoire of gene expression of NK cells in various states.
