Mammary Gland Transcriptome and Proteome Modifications by Nutrient Restriction in Early Lactation Holstein Cows Challenged with Intra-Mammary Lipopolysaccharide.

ABSTRACT: : The objective is to study the effects of nutrient restrictions, which induce a metabolic imbalance on the inflammatory response of the mammary gland in early lactation cows. The aim is to decipher the molecular mechanisms involved, by comparing a control, with a restriction group, a transcriptome and proteome, after an intra-mammary lipopolysaccharide challenge. Multi-parous cows were either allowed ad libitum intake of a lactation diet (n = 8), or a ration containing low nutrient density (n = 8; 48% barley straw and dry matter basis) for four days starting at 24 ± 3 days in milk. Three days after the initiation of their treatments, one healthy rear mammary quarter of 12 lactating cows was challenged with 50 µg of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses were performed on mammary biopsies obtained 24 h after the LPS challenge, using bovine 44K microarrays, and nano-LC-MS/MS, respectively. Restriction-induced deficits in energy, led to a marked negative energy balance (41 versus 97 ± 15% of Net Energy for Lactation (NEL) requirements) and metabolic imbalance. A microarray analyses identified 25 differentially expressed genes in response to restriction, suggesting that restriction had modified mammary metabolism, specifically ?-oxidation process. Proteomic analyses identified 53 differentially expressed proteins, which suggests that the modification of protein synthesis from mRNA splicing to folding. Under-nutrition influenced mammary gland expression of the genes involved in metabolism, thereby increasing ?-oxidation and altering protein synthesis, which may affect the response to inflammation.

Project description:The objective was to evaluate the effect of nutrient restriction and intramammary lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge on mammary gland (MG) gene expression in early lactation cows. At 24 ± 3 d in milk, multiparous cows were either allowed to continue ad libitum intake of a lactation diet (CON, n = 6), or the ration was diluted with barley straw (48% DM) for 4 d (RES, n = 6). On d 3, one healthy rear mammary quarter was infused with 50 µg of LPS. Mammary biopsies were performed 24 h after LPS challenge. RNA and proteins analyzed using bovine 44K microarrays (Agilent Technologies) and micro-LC-MS/MS, respectively. Transcriptomic data were analyzed using GeneSpring (moderated-t-test with Westfall-Young correction, P < 0.05). Proteins were analyzed with Progenesis LC-MS software v4.1 (Nonlinear Dynamics). Production and energy balance did not differ prior to diet change. Negative energy balance was aggravated in RES (41 vs 97 ± 15 % of requirements, mean ± SD; P < 0.001). A total of 87 differentially expressed genes (DEG) were highlighted through the comparison of RES vs CON group. Among the 33 DEG identified in the transcriptomic analyses, 11 and 22 were down- and upregulated by restriction, respectively. Among the upregulated DEG, there were PDK4 and CPT1A which are involved in the regulation of fatty acid, ketone, and glucose metabolism. CPT1A is the key enzyme in the carnitine dependent fatty acid transport, promoting fatty acid oxidation. Genes involved in immune response such as PGLYRP3 and TRIB2 were upregulated, suggesting a higher inflammatory response in RES than CON. Proteomic analysis identified 54 proteins with 14 up- and 40 downregulated in RES cows. Upregulated proteins were mostly involved in gene expression mechanisms such as translation, RNA splicing and cellular protein modification. The downregulated proteins (e.g., EIF3H, RS27A, RS15) take part in protein metabolism. This is coherent with transcriptomic results, namely the downregulation of RPL 37A, a component of ribosomal complex, which catalyzes protein synthesis and may partially explain the lower milk protein yield in RES (834 vs 1163 g/d; P = 0.02). Proteins involved in antigen processing and presentation were downregulated in RES compared to CON, suggesting an impaired ability to counteract inflammation in RES MG. Preliminary transcriptomics and proteomics analyses show that undernutrition may influence the MG response to inflammation at each level of gene expression.

Project description:The objective was to evaluate the effects of nutrient restriction on the liver transcriptomic response after 24 h challenge to intramammary lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in early lactation cows. At 24 ± 3 days of lactation, multiparous cows were fed either an ad libitum lactation diet (CON, n = 6), or a ration diluted with barley straw (48% DM) for 4 days (RES, n = 6). On day 3, one healthy rear mammary quarter from each cow was infused with 50 µg of LPS. Blood and liver biopsies were collected on day 4, corresponding to 24 h after LPS challenge. The liver transcriptome was analyzed using 44K bovine microarrays (Agilent Technologies). Blood and transcriptomic data were analyzed using SAS mixed models and GeneSpring (moderate t-test with Westfall-Young correction, P < 0.05), respectively, and data mining was performed using Panther and Pathway Studio software. The energy balance was no different before the diet change. By experimental design, energy intake was 41 and 97 ± 15 % of NEL requirements in RES and CON, respectively. Plasma NEFA and BHBA were higher, and glucose was lower in RES than in CON, which is consistent with a 4-day nutrient deficit in RES. Seventy seven differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CON and RES were identified, with 29 genes downregulated and 48 upregulated in RES. Genes involved in fatty acid synthesis (ACAT2, FASN, SCD), lactate metabolism (LDHC), and cortisol binding (SERPINA6) were downregulated in RES, while those involved in fatty acid oxidation, detoxification, cholesterol synthesis, lipoprotein lipid secretion, and gluconeogenesis (ACADVL, CPT1A, CPT1B, ANGPTL4, CYP4A11, HMGCSA, APOA1, APOA4, GK, PC and PCK2) were upregulated in RES. Overall, DEGs were in agreement with the negative energy balance and plasma metabolite profile, and reflect a state of intense lipomobilization, glucose deficit and ketogenesis in RES. Preliminary results suggest that nutrient restriction did not alter hepatic expression of genes directly involved in immune function 24 h after an intramammary LPS challenge.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Lactation is extremely important for dairy cows; however, the understanding of the underlying metabolic mechanisms is very limited. This study was conducted to investigate the inherent metabolic patterns during lactation using the overall biofluid metabolomics and the metabolic differences from non-lactation periods, as determined using partial tissue-metabolomics. We analyzed the metabolomic profiles of four biofluids (rumen fluid, serum, milk and urine) and their relationships in six mid-lactation Holstein cows and compared their mammary gland (MG) metabolomic profiles with those of six non-lactating cows by using gas chromatography-time of flight/mass spectrometry. RESULTS:In total, 33 metabolites were shared among the four biofluids, and 274 metabolites were identified in the MG tissues. The sub-clusters of the hierarchical clustering analysis revealed that the rumen fluid and serum metabolomics profiles were grouped together and highly correlated but were separate from those for milk. Urine had the most different profile compared to the other three biofluids. Creatine was identified as the most different metabolite among the four biofluids (VIP?=?1.537). Five metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle), glycerolipid metabolism, and aspartate metabolism, showed the most functional enrichment among the four biofluids (false discovery rate?<?0.05, fold enrichment >2). Clear discriminations were observed in the MG metabolomics profiles between the lactating and non-lactating cows, with 54 metabolites having a significantly higher abundance (P?<?0.05, VIP?>?1) in the lactation group. Lactobionic acid, citric acid, orotic acid and oxamide were extracted by the S-plot as potential biomarkers of the metabolic difference between lactation and non-lactation. The TCA cycle, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, glutamate metabolism and glycine metabolism were determined to be pathways that were significantly impacted (P?<?0.01, impact value >0.1) in the lactation group. Among them, the TCA cycle was the most up-regulated pathway (P?<?0.0001), with 7 of the 10 related metabolites increased in the MG tissues of the lactating cows. CONCLUSIONS:The overall biofluid and MG tissue metabolic mechanisms in the lactating cows were interpreted in this study. Our findings are the first to provide an integrated insight and a better understanding of the metabolic mechanism of lactation, which is beneficial for developing regulated strategies to improve the metabolic status of lactating dairy cows.

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus intramammary infection is one of the most common causes of chronic mastitis in dairy cows, whose development may be associated with epigenetic changes in the expression of important host defense genes. This study aimed to construct a genome-wide DNA methylation profile of the mammary gland of Chinese Holstein cows (n = 3) following experimentally induced S. aureus mastitis, and to explore the potential gene regulatory mechanisms affected by DNA methylation during S. aureus mastitis. DNA was extracted from S. aureus-positive (n = 3) and S. aureus-negative (n = 3) mammary gland quarters and subjected to methylation-dependent restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (Methyl-RAD Seq). Results showed that CmCGG/CmCWGG DNA methylation sites were unevenly distributed and concentrated on chromosomes 5, 11, and 19, and within intergenic regions and intron regions of genes. Compared with healthy control quarters, 9,181 significantly differentially methylated (DM) CmCGG sites and 1,790 DM CmCWGG sites were found in the S. aureus-positive quarters (P < 0.05, |log2FC| > 1). Furthermore, 363 CmCGG differently methylated genes (DMGs) and 301 CmCWGG DMGs (adjusted P < 0.05, |log2FC| > 1) were identified. Gene ontology and KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that CmCGG DMGs are involved in immune response pathways, while the CmCWGG DMGs were mainly enriched in gene ontology terms related to metabolism. The mRNAs of 526 differentially methylated CmCGG genes and 124 differentially methylated CmCWGG genes were also significantly differentially expressed (RNA-Seq data) in the same samples, herein denoted differentially methylated and expressed genes (DMEGs) (P < 0.05). Functional enrichment analysis of DMEGs revealed roles related to biological processes, especially the regulation of immune response to diseases. CmCGG DMEGs like IL6R, TNF, BTK, IL1R2, and TNFSF8 enriched in several immune-related GO terms and pathways indicated their important roles in host immune response and their potential as candidate genes for S. aureus mastitis. These results suggest potential regulatory roles for DNA methylation in bovine mammary gland processes during S. aureus mastitis and serves as a reference for future epigenetic regulation and mechanistic studies.
