Transcriptome Profiling Analysis of Bovine Vaginal Epithelial Cell Response to an Isolated Lactobacillus Strain.

ABSTRACT: Lactobacillus strain SQ0048 isolated from bovine vagina has been shown to exhibit specific adherence to the epithelium and to produce inhibitory substances; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We cultured and identified primary bovine vaginal epithelial cells treated with SQ0048 to investigate the pathways involved in host cell responses using transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq). Transcription profiling showed 296 significantly altered differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which 170 were upregulated and 126 downregulated. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the DEGs revealed significant enrichment of 424 GO terms throughout the differentiation process (P?

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study is to investigate host cell responses treated with lactobacillus in various molecular pathways by RNA-Seq and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) methods to and evaluate protocols for optimal high-throughput data analysis. Methods: mRNA profiles of bovine vaginal epithelial cells treated with lactobacillus and control cells were generated by sequencing, in triplicate, utilizing Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform. The raw RNA-seq data was filtered to remove adaptor contamination, low quality bases, and undetermined bases utilizing Cutadapt software.The filtered reads were aligned and mapped to the reference genome using Hisat 2.0. RT-qPCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Results: The transcription profiling results showed that 296 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were significantly altered, of which 170 were upregulated and 126 downregulated. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis of the DEGs revealed a significant enrichment of 424 GO terms throughout the differentiation process (p< 0.05). Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly involved in signal transduction, immune endocrine systems, transport and catabolism, as well as metabolism and genetic information processing. We found a relatively high number of genes enriched in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum and IL-17 signaling pathway, as well as antigen processing and presentation. DEGs that enriched into pathways were verified by RT-qPCR. The highest number of DEGs participated in protein processing in pathways involving the endoplasmic reticulum of which might be a major factor causing the adhesion of lactobacillus to cells and pathogenic inhibition. Conclusions:Our study provides new insights on the interaction between lactobacillus and host cells, emphasizing the importance of novel candidate pathways involving the protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum and analyzing the possible anti-pathogenic mechanisms of the SQ0048 strain that inhibit pathogenic colonization.

Project description:Tritrichomonas foetus is a serious veterinary pathogen, causing bovine trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease leading to infertility and abortion. T. foetus infects the mucosal surfaces of the reproductive tract. Infection with T. foetus leads to apoptotic cell death of bovine vaginal epithelial cells (BVECs) in culture. An affinity-purified cysteine protease (CP) fraction yielding on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis a single band with an apparent molecular mass of 30 kDa (CP30) also induces BVEC apoptosis. Treatment of CP30 with the protease inhibitors TLCK (Nalpha-p-tosyl-l-lysine chloromethyl ketone) and E-64 [l-trans-epoxysuccinyl-leucylamide-(4-guanido)-butane] greatly reduces induction of BVEC apoptosis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis of CP30 reveals a single peak with a molecular mass of 23.7 kDa. Mass spectral peptide sequence analysis of proteolytically digested CP30 reveals homologies to a previously reported cDNA clone, CP8 (D. J. Mallinson, J. Livingstone, K. M. Appleton, S. J. Lees, G. H. Coombs, and M. J. North, Microbiology 141:3077-3085, 1995). Induction of apoptosis is highly species specific, since the related human parasite Trichomonas vaginalis and associated purified CPs did not induce BVEC death. Fluorescence microscopy along with the Cell Death Detection ELISA(PLUS) assay and flow cytometry analyses were used to detect apoptotic nuclear condensation, DNA fragmentation, and changes in plasma membrane asymmetry in host cells undergoing apoptosis in response to T. foetus infection or incubation with CP30. Additionally, the activation of caspase-3 and inhibition of cell death by caspase inhibitors indicates that caspases are involved in BVEC apoptosis. These results imply that apoptosis is involved in the pathogenesis of T. foetus infection in vivo, which may have important implications for therapeutic interference with host cell death that could alter the course of the pathology in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundMammalian follicle development is characterized by extensive changes in morphology, endocrine responsiveness, and function, providing the optimum environment for oocyte growth, development, and resumption of meiosis. In cattle, the first signs of transcription activation in the oocyte are observed in the secondary follicle, later than during mouse and human oogenesis. While many studies have generated extensive datasets characterizing gene expression in bovine oocytes, they are mostly limited to the analysis of fully grown and matured oocytes. The aim of the present study was to apply single-cell RNA sequencing to interrogate the transcriptome of the growing bovine oocyte from the secondary follicle stage through to the mid-antral follicle stage.ResultsSingle-cell RNA-seq libraries were generated from oocytes of known diameters (< 60 to > 120 μm), and datasets were binned into non-overlapping size groups for downstream analysis. Combining the results of weighted gene co-expression network and Trendy analyses, and differently expressed genes (DEGs) between size groups, we identified a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation and an increase in maternal -genes and transcription regulators across the bovine oocyte growth phase. In addition, around 5,000 genes did not change in expression, revealing a cohort of stable genes. An interesting switch in gene expression profile was noted in oocytes greater than 100 μm in diameter, when the expression of genes related to cytoplasmic activities was replaced by genes related to nuclear activities (e.g., chromosome segregation). The highest number of DEGs were detected in the comparison of oocytes 100-109 versus 110-119 μm in diameter, revealing a profound change in the molecular profile of oocytes at the end of their growth phase.ConclusionsThe current study provides a unique dataset of the key genes and pathways characteristic of each stage of oocyte development, contributing an important resource for a greater understanding of bovine oogenesis.
