A temporal shift in regulatory networks and pathways in the bovine small intestine during Cooperia oncophora infection

ABSTRACT: Cooperia oncophora is an important parasitic nematode of ruminants with a worldwide distribution. Twenty Holstein nematode-naive bull calves were experimentally infected with approximately 100,000 L3 stage infective larvae for 7, 14, 28, 42 days, respectively. The experiment was conducted in order to identify putative recognition and inflammatory pathways in the host-parasite relationship. Gene expression profiles in the small intestine were compared using a high-density bovine 60mer oligo microarray. A total of 310 sequences were differentially expressed during the course of infection (P<0.05). The pathways and regulatory networks significantly impacted by the infection were analyzed. A total of 22 canonical pathways (P<0.05) and 9 regulatory networks (P<10-10) were significantly affected by the infection. At the early phase of the infection (7 days post infection, 7dpi), the parasites suppressed acute phase response and complement system in the host. At 14dpi, three out of the six pathways impacted were related with RXR functions. When the infection progressed to 28dpi, the RXR functions started to fade away. The host response was shifted to lipid metabolism and signaling, especially eicosanoid production and signaling, suggesting eicosanoid-mediated inflammation possibly emerging as a major host defense mechanism. By 42dpi, the pathways impacted involved glycosphingolipid biosynthesis and TGFbeta signaling. The expression of cadherin-like 26 (CDH26) was strongly up-regulated starting at 14dpi and peaked at 28dpi with a ~150-fold increase. The extent of its expression is positively correlated with the infiltration of eosinophils (R =0.82), and in addition, coincides with the numbers of adult parasites in the tissue. CDH26 demonstrated an expression profile similar to two other cell adhesion molecules involved in recognition of carbohydrates on foreign organisms, collectin and galectin, suggesting it may serve as a pattern recognition molecule for Cooperia oncophora. Our results will undoubtedly provide a molecular roadmap for the future study in defining host immune responses and understanding protective immunity against gastrointestinal nematodes.

Project description:Cooperia oncophora is an economically important gastrointestinal nematode in ruminants. Acquired resistance to Cooperia oncophora infection in cattle develops rapidly as a result of prior infections. Naïve cattle, when given a primary infection of high-dose infective L3 larvae, develop a strong immunity to subsequent reinfection. Compared to primary infection, reinfection resulted in a marked reduction in worm establishment. In order to understand molecular mechanisms underlying the development of acquired resistance, we characterized the transcriptomic responses of the bovine small intestine to a primary infection and reinfection. A total of 23 pathways were significantly impacted during infection. The vitamin D receptor activation was strongly induced only during reinfection, suggesting that this pathway may play an important role in the development of acquired resistance via its potential roles in immune regulation and intestinal mucosal integrity maintenance. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) was strongly induced during reinfection but now during primary infection. As a result, several canonical pathways associated with NOS2 were impacted. The genes involved in eicosanoid synthesis, including prostaglandin synthase 2 (PTGS2 or COX2), remained largely unchanged during infection. The rapid development of acquired resistance may help explain the lack of relative pathogenicity by Cooperia oncophora infection in cattle. Our findings will undoubtedly facilitate understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying the development of acquired resistance, which could have an important implication in vaccine design. The transcriptomic profiles of the bovine small intestine in response to both a primary infection and a drug-attenuated reinfection were compared. The data were analyzed using the same condition and procedure. The gene expression profiles of calves 14 days after a primary Cooperia oncophora infection and a drug-attenuated reinfection were compared to their respective age-matched controls (naive controls and drug-drenched worm-free controls)

Project description:Background: The 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus emerged in swine and quickly became a major global health threat. In mouse, non-human primate, and swine infection models, the pH1N1 virus efficiently replicates in the lung and induces pro-inflammatory host responses; however, whether similar or different cellular pathways were impacted by pH1N1 virus across independent infection models remains to be further defined. To address this, we have performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of acute host responses to a single pH1N1 influenza virus, A/California/04/2009 (CA04), in the lung of mice, macaques and swine. Results: Despite similarities in the clinical course, we observed differences in inflammatory molecules elicited, and the kinetics of their gene expression changes across all three species. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) signaling pathway controlling pro-inflammatory and metabolic processes was differentially regulated during infection in each species, though the heterodimeric RXR partner, pathway associated signaling molecules, and gene expression patterns differed in each species. Conclusions: By comparing transcriptional changes in the context of clinical and virological measures, we identified differences in the host transcriptional response to pH1N1 virus across independent models of acute infection. Antiviral resistance and the emergence of new influenza viruses have placed more focus on developing drugs that target the immune system. Underlying overt clinical disease are molecular events that suggest therapeutic targets identified in one host may not be appropriate in another. The goal of this experiment was to use global gene expression profiling to understand swine lung host responses to pandemic H1N1 influenza A/Californica/04/2009 (CA04) virus infection and compare acute host responses across independent species. Four-week-old crossbred pigs (Sus Scrofa) were inoculated intratracheally with either 10^6 TCID50/pig egg-derived 2009 pandemic influenza A/California/04/2009 virus (n = 5) or mock inoculated with non-infectious cell culture supernatant (control; n = 4). Animals were euthanized on day 7 post-infection and lung samples were used for microarray.

The goal of this experiment was to use global gene expression profiling to understand mouse lung cellular responses to pandemic H1N1 influenza A/Californica/04/2009 virus infection. Six-to-eight-week-old female BALB/c mice were anesthetized and inoculated with either 50 Î¼l of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Mock) or with 10^6 pfu of pandemic H1N1 influenza A/California/04/2009 virus in a 50 Î¼l volume, and whole lungs were collected at days 1, 3 and 5 post-inoculation. Lung samples from 9 animals for the infection group were used for array analysis, three animals per time point. Lung samples from 8 animals for the mock group were used for array analysis, three animals for the day 1 and 3 time points and 2 animals for the day 5 time point.
