Project description:Background: Bovine tuberculosis is an enduring disease of cattle that has significant repercussions for human health. The advent of high-throughput functional genomics technologies has facilitated large-scale analyses of the immune response to this disease that will ultimately lead to novel diagnostics and therapeutic targets. Analysis of mRNA abundance in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from six Mycobacterium bovis infected cattle and six non-infected controls was performed. A targeted immunospecific bovine cDNA microarray with duplicated spot features representing 1,391 genes was used to test the hypothesis that a novel gene expression profile may exist in M. bovis infected animals in vivo. Results: In total, 378 gene features were differentially expressed at the P ≤ 0.05 level in bovine tuberculosis (BTB)-infected and control animals, of which 244 were expressed at lower levels (65%) in the infected group. Lower relative expression of key innate immune genes such as the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4 genes, lack of differential expression of indicator adaptive immune gene transcripts (IFNG, IL2, IL4), and lower BOLA major histocompatability complex – class I (BOLA) and class II (BOLA-DRA) gene expression was consistent with innate immune gene repression in the BTB-infected animals. Supervised hierarchical cluster analysis and class prediction validation identified a panel of 15 genes predictive of disease status and selected gene transcripts were validated (n = 8 per group) by real time quantitative reverse transcription PCR. Conclusion: These results suggest that large-scale expression profiling can identify gene signatures of disease in peripheral blood that can be used to classify animals on the basis of in vivo infection, in the absence of exogenous antigenic stimulation.

Project description:We investigated peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) transcriptomes in naturally M. bovis-infected cattle. PBMCs isolated from cattle with different infection statuses (i.e., nested PCR-positive (bTB PCR-P), nested PCR-negative (bTB PCR-N) M. bovis-infected cattle and healthy cattle) were treated with bovine purified protein derivative of bovine tuberculin (PPD-B) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 6 h. By RNA-Seq, we compared the transcriptomes of PPD-B-stimulated and -unstimulated (PBS-treated) PBMCs between the three groups. Numerous differentially expressed genes were identified following pair-wise comparison of different groups, with or without PPD-B stimulation (adjusted p < 0.05). RNA-seq data was confirmed by validating 14 known genes with qRT–PCR. Finally, data analysis revealed the immune heterogeneity of bTB at different stages which can improve the understanding of the molecular mechanisms in bTB progression.

Project description:Background: Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a pathological infection with significant economic impact. Recent studies have highlighted the role of functional genomics to better understand the molecular mechanisms governing the host immune response to M. bovis infection. Furthermore, these studies may enable the identification of novel transcriptional markers of BTB that can augment current diagnostic tests and surveillance programmes. In the present study, we have analysed the transcriptome of peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) from eight M. bovis-infected and eight control non-infected age-matched and sex-matched Holstein-Friesian cattle using the Affymetrix® GeneChip® Bovine Genome Array with features representing more than 23,000 gene transcripts and over 19,000 gene probe sets. Results: Control and infected animals had similar mean white blood cell counts. However, the mean number of lymphocytes was significantly increased in the infected group relative to the control group (P = 0.001), while the mean number of monocytes was significantly decreased in the BTB group (P = 0.002). Hierarchical clustering analysis using gene expression data from all 5,388 detectable mRNA transcripts unambiguously partitioned the animals according to their disease status. In total, 2,960 gene transcripts were differentially expressed (DE) between the infected and control animal groups (adjusted P-value threshold ≤ 0.05); with the number of genes showing decreased relative expression (1,563) exceeding those displaying increased relative expression (1,397). Systems analysis using the Ingenuity Systems Pathway Analysis (IPA) Knowledge Base revealed an over-representation of DE genes involved in the immune response functional category. More specifically, 64.5% of genes in the affects immune response subcategory displayed decreased relative expression levels in the infected animals compared to the control group. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that genome-wide transcriptional profiling of PBL can distinguish active M. bovis-infected animals from control non-infected animals. Furthermore, the results obtained support previous investigations demonstrating that mycobacterial infection is associated with host transcriptional suppression. These data support the use of transcriptomic technologies to enable the identification of robust, reliable transcriptional markers of active M. bovis infection Affymetrix GeneChip® Bovine Genome Arrays were used to examine gene expression of peripheral blood leukocytes from cattle infected with Mycobacterium bovis

Project description:Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex), is a zoonotic disease that affects cattle and wildlife worldwide. In some regions of Spain, Iberian red deer (Cervus elaphus hispanicus) can serve as reservoir of infection, thus increasing the risk of human and cattle exposure and infection. Mesenteric lymph nodes are naturally infected with M. bovis in Iberian red deer, in which the digestive route of infection is particularly important in Mediterranean Spain. In this study we characterized the differential expression of inflammatory and immune response genes in mesenteric lymph nodes of Iberian red deer naturally infected with M. bovis using a Ruminant Immuno-inflammatory Gene Universal Array (RIGUA) and real-time RT-PCR. Of the 600 genes that were analyzed in the microarray, 157 showed ? 1.2 fold changes in expression in infected or uninfected deer and 17 genes displayed an expression fold change greater than 1.7 with a P-value ? 0.05 and were selected for further analysis. These genes included tight junction proteins (Z02 and occluding), IL-11R, bactenecin, CD62L, CD74, desmoglein, IgA and IgM that constitute new findings and suggest new mechanisms by which M. bovis may modulate host inflammatory and immune responses. Identification of genes differentially expressed in animals and tissues naturally infected with M. bovis contributes to our basic understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis and protective immunity to mycobacterial infections and may have important implications for future functional genomic and vaccine studies to aid in the control of bTB in deer and other wildlife reservoir species. Mesenteric lymph node RNA from four different uninfected Iberian red deer stags and two Iberian red deer stags infected with Mycobacterium bovis. Infected animals were naturally infected with M. bovis. All animals were hunter-harvested and the tissues retrieved 2-6 hrs after animal hunting.

Project description:Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), is a globally zoonotic disease with significant economic impacts. Plasma exosomes have been extensively used for investigating disease processes and exploring biomarkers. While mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic analysis of plasma exosomes has been employed for human tuberculosis (TB) studies, it has not yet been applied to bTB. Therefore, a comprehensive proteomic overview of plasma exosomes from M. bovis-infected cows is essential. In this study, we present an extensive proteomic analysis of plasma exosomes from 89 M. bovis-infected cows across three farms, using data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mode. Our analysis encompasses 239,894 spectra, 6,011 peptides and 835 protein groups. The proteomic overview reveals both consistencies and differences among individual cows, supplements 595 proteins to the bovine exosome library, and enriches tuberculosis and related pathways. Additionally, six pathways were validated as immune response pathways, and three proteins (CATHL1, H1-1, and LCN2) were identified as potential indicators of bTB. This study is the first to investigate the exosome proteome of plasma from cows infected with M. bovis, providing a valuable dataset for exploring candidate bTB markers and understanding the mechanisms of host defense against M. bovis.

Project description:Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) causes bovine tuberculosis (bTB). The challenges in controlling and eradicating this zoonotic disease are compounded by our incomplete understanding of the host immune response. In this study, we used high-throughput bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to characterise the response profiles of γδ T cells to antigenic stimulation using purified protein derivate from M. bovis (PPDb). γδ T cells are a subgroup of T cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity and have known anti-mycobacterial response mechanisms. These cells are usually classified based on the expression of a pathogen-recognition receptor, Workshop Cluster 1 (WC1), into two main subsets: WC1.1+ and WC1.2+. Previous studies have identified a preferential transcriptomic response in WC1.1+ cells during natural bTB infection, suggesting a subset-specific response to mycobacterial antigens. This follow on study tested the hypothesis that a subset specific response would also be apparent from γδ T cells from infected cattle after repeat stimulation. Peripheral blood was collected from Holstein-Friesian cattle naturally infected with M. bovis, confirmed by a single intradermal comparative tuberculin test (SICTT) and IFN-γ ELISA and stimulated with 10 μg/ml PPDb for 6 hours. After whole blood stimulation, WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cell subsets were isolated using magnetic cell sorting (n = 5 per group). High-quality RNA was extracted from each purified lymphocyte subset (WC1.1+ and WC1.2+) to generate transcriptomes using bulk RNA sequencing, resulting in 20 RNA-seq libraries. Transcriptomic analysis revealed 111 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) common to both WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cell compartments, including upregulation of IL1A, IL1B, IL6, IL17A, IL17F, and IFNG genes (FDR-Padj. < 0.1). Interestingly, the WC1.2+ cells showed upregulation of IL10, CCL22, and GZMA (log2FC ≥ 1.5, and FDR-Padj. < 0.1). In conclusion, while WC1.1+ and WC1.2+ γδ T cells exhibit a conserved inflammatory response to PPDb, differences in anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial gene expression between these cell subsets provide new insights into their effector functions in response to mycobacterial antigens.

Project description:Infection of cattle with Mycobacterium bovis causes severe financial hardship in many countries, in addition to presenting a health risk for humans. As an intracellular pathogen, M. bovis, adapted to survive and thrive within the intramacrophage environment. However, little is known about expression patterns in the macrophage, particularly in the bovine host. In this study, DNA microarray analysis was used to detect genes expressed in Holstein bovine macrophages derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected during four hours with two Argentinean strains of M. bovis, a virulent strain, 04-303 and an attenuated strain, 534. Genes encoding antrax toxin receptor, cell division and apoptosis regulator, ankyrin proteins that are found within the membrane associated cytoskeleton, protein of cell differentiation and regulators of endocytic traffic of membrane were more strongly expressed in infected macrophages. Blood from healthy Holstein bovines was taken in sterile conditions and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated from heparinized blood. PBMCs were used to prepare ten independent cultures which were incubated at 37C for one week in RPMI 1640 complete medium supplemented with 10% of autologous plasma. Four cultures were infected with viable cells of M. bovis virulent strain 04-303, four with avirulent strain 534 and two were left as uninfected controls. Four hours post infection, the cells were scraped, lysed. RNA was extracted, labeled and hybridized to ten Affymetrix Bovine Genome arrays.

Project description:Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) causes to the diseases such as arthritis, pneumonia, abortion and mastitis causing to great losses in dairy bovine industries. It undertakes significant functions in the regulation of the immune response formed by many RNA type bacteria such as Messenger RNA (mRNAs) and Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs). mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles still cannot be majorly known in the bovine mammary gland tissues infected with M. bovis. To illuminate this issue, transcription analysis has been conducted regarding mRNA and IncRNAs in the breast tissues belonging to Holstein cattle infected and not infected with M. Bovis. Differently expressed 1310 mRNAs and 57 IncRNAs have been determined in the bovine mammary gland tissues infected and not infected with M. Bovis. In addition; 392 novel lncRNAs have been detected. Also; it has been found that 19 novel lncRNAs are expressed in a different way. It has been revealed in gene ontology analysis that the differently expressed mRNAs and IncRNAs play a significant role in many vital biological pathways such as Metabolic pathways, T cell receptor signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, Pathways in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway and Apoptosis including the immune response and cancer. When literature review is conducted, it is seen that this study is the first genome wide IncRNA research conducted on the infected bovine mammary gland tissues with M. bovis agent. Our results have provided bovine mammary gland IncRNA and mRNA resource to understand their roles in the regulation of the immune response against the agent of M. Bovis in the bovine mammary gland tissues.
