Project description:Bovine mastitis causes changes in the serum exosomal miRNAs expression. Serum samples from healthy dairy cows (n = 7) were compared to those of cows with subclinical (n = 7 ) using small RAN sequencing. Three hundred fifty-five miRNAs (341 known and 14 novel ones) were identified. There were 42 miRNAs up-regulated in serum-derived EVs from cows with subclinical mastitis, including bta-miR-1246, bta-miR-2431-3p, bta-miR-126-3p, bta-miR-29a, etc. The MAPK signaling pathway was the most affected pathway by clinical mastitis. Thus, miRNA alterations in mastitis serum-derived EVs support the potential regulator role of specific miRNAs as exosomal cargo in clinical mastitis physiology.

Project description:Mastitis, the inflammation of the mammary gland, is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy farming worldwide. Unfortunately, the disease is most often present in a subclinical type with no clear symptoms. The sooner the infection is detected, the less opportunities for the disease to progress and the more treatment options remain available. Milk microRNA (miRNA) encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EV) have been proposed as potential biomarkers of different mammary gland conditions, including subclinical mastitis. However, little is known about the robustness of EV analysis regarding sampling time-point or natural infections. In order to estimate the reliability of EV measurements in raw bovine milk, we first evaluated the changes in EV size, concentration and miRNA cargo during three consecutive days. Then, we compared milk EV differences from natural infected quarters with high somatic cell count (SCC) with their healthy adjacent quarters with low SCC and quarters from uninfected udders. We found that milk EV miRNA cargo is very stable along three days and that infected quarters do not induce relevant changes in milk EV of adjacent healthy quarters, making them suitable controls. We observed cow-individual changes in immunoregulatory miRNA in quarters with chronic subclinical mastitis, pointing towards infection-specific alterations. Finally, we proposed bta-miR-223 as a potential indicator of subclinical mastitis prognosis in raw milk.

Project description:Korean peninsular weather is rapidly becoming subtropical due to global warming. In summer 2018, South Korea experienced the highest temperatures since the meteorological observations recorded in 1907. Heat stress has a negative effect on Holstein cows, the most popular breed of dairy cattle in South Korea, which is susceptible to heat. To examine physiological changes in dairy cows under heat stress conditions, we analyzed the profiles circulating microRNAs isolated from whole blood samples collected under heat stress and non-heat stress conditions using small RNA sequencing. We compared the expression profiles in lactating cows under heat stress and non-heat stress conditions to understand the regulation of biological processes in heat-stressed cows. Moreover, we measured several heat stress indicators, such as rectal temperature, milk yield, average daily gain, and progesterone concentration. All these assessments showed that pregnant cows were more susceptible to heat stress than non-pregnant cows. Particularly, progesterone concentrations known to have maternal warming effects were at similar levels in non-pregnant cows but significantly increased in pregnant cows under heat stress conditions. The differentially expressed miRNAs and their putative target genes were analyzed in pregnant cows. Interestingly, we found that differentially expressed miRNAs (bta-miR-146b, bta-miR-20b, bta-miR-29d-3p, bta-miR-1246) specifically targeted progesterone biosynthesis (StAR) and the function of corpus luteum-related genes (CCL11, XCL), suggesting that pregnant cows with elevated progesterone concentrations are more susceptible to heat stress. In addition, we found the differential expression of 11 miRNAs (bta-miR-19a, bta-miR-19b, bta-miR-30a-5p, and several from the bta-miR-2284 family) in both pregnant and non-pregnant cows under heat stress conditions. In target gene prediction and gene set enrichment analysis, these miRNAs were found to be associated with the cytoskeleton, cell junction, vasculogenesis, cell proliferation, ATP synthesis, oxidative stress, and immune responses involved in heat response. These miRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers for heat stress.

Project description:Bovine mastitis, the infection of the mammary gland which leads to great health and economic challenges for dairy farmers is accompanied by dramatic changes in the milk proteome. In this study of naturally occurring mastitis not only have the changes in the milk proteome been quantified in subclinical and clinical mastitis but simultaneous changes in the serum proteome have also been characterised and quantified. Milk and serum samples from healthy dairy cows (n=12) were compared to those of cows with subclinical (n=10) and clinical mastitis (n=112) using TMT label-based proteomic approach. The study included the milk and serum samples taken from thirty-two dairy cows ( kept on private farms located in Croatia. All cows were checked by physical examination. Somatic cells count (SCC) and mastitis test in milk samples were performed. According to the results, cows were assigned into three groups: Group I (control, n=10) consisted of healthy cows with SCC below 400,000 cells/ml on the monthly check-up and a negative mastitis test and without any clinical sign of mastitis. Group II (subclinical mastitis, n=12) comprised cows without clinical signs of mastitis but with SCC above 400,000 cells/ml on the monthly basis and a positive mastitis test at the time of sampling. Group III (clinical mastitis, n=10) consisted of cows with clinical signs of mastitis which include changes in milk appearance (flakes and clots in milk), different stages of udder inflammation (hyperemia, edema, pain, udder enlargement and elevated udder temperature) and disturbance of general health (depression, relaxed cold ears, dehydration, elevated body temperature, increased heart and respiratory rate, decreased ruminal contraction and decreased appetite). Blood samples were taken from v. coccygea and centrifuged at 3000 g for 15 min after clotting for two hours at room temperature. Serum samples were stored at -80°C until analysis. Milk samples were taken aseptically before the morning milking. First few streams were discarded. Teat ends were disinfected with cotton swabs soaked with 70% ethanol. Samples were taken into sterile tubes and transported to laboratory on ice within a few hours.

Project description:Previous studies have investigated the peptidomic changes occurring in cow milk during mastitis; however, these focused mainly on clinical mastitis, either spontaneous (Mansor et al., 2013) or induced by experimental infection (Thomas et al., 2016). Mansor and coworkers were the first to use mass spectrometry to demonstrate that several peptides found increased in milk from cows with clinical S. aureus or E. coli mastitis were mainly derived from aS1- and b-casein. In that study, 48 peptides were significantly different between the milks of healthy and mastitic cows. Non-mastitic samples were confirmed to be non-mastitic by having SCC <100,000 cells/mL (Mansor et al., 2013). Thomas and coworkers expanded the peptidomic repertoire in a study evaluating the kinetics of experimental S. uberis infection, and found signature peptides with potential as mastitis markers (Thomas et al., 2016). Only one study evaluated the milk peptidome in subclinical mastitis (Guerrero et al., 2015) demonstrating that even subclinical infections can cause significant increases in the total number of released peptides when compared to uninfected milk. However, neither the IMI agents nor the somatic cell counts were reported. With the aim of understanding high abundance protein and peptidomic changes due to subclinical CNS mastitis, to identify signature peptides with potential for subclinical mastitis detection, and to compare the proteomic and peptidomic findings with those reported in clinical mastitis, we investigated the influence of CNS IMI on high abundance milk proteins by SDS-PAGE and densitometric analysis, followed by a detailed characterization of the milk peptidome by means of high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry and bioinformatic analysis.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to explore the role of miRNAs in dairy cow response to E. coli and S. aureus, mastitis causing pathogens, is not well understood. Results: The global expression of miRNAs in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T cells) challenged with heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria (treatments: 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr) and without challenge (control: 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr) was profiled using next-generation-sequencing. A total of 231 known bovine miRNAs were identified with more than 10 counts per million (CPM) in at least one of 13 libraries and 5 miRNAs including bta-miR-21-5p, miR-27b, miR-22-3p, miR-184 and let-7f represented more than 50% of the total reads of known bovine miRNAs. One hundred and fifty novel miRNAs were identified and half of them belong to the bta-miR-2284 family. Seventeen miRNAs were significantly (P<0.05) differentially regulated by the presence of pathogens. E. coli initiated an earlier regulation of miRNAs (6 miRNAs differentially regulated within the first 6 hrs post challenge as compared to one for S. aureus) while S. aureus presented a delayed response. Five differentially expressed miRNAs (Bta-miR184, miR-24-3p, miR-148, miR-486 and bta-let-7a-5p) were unique to E. coli while four (bta-miR-2339, miR-499, miR-23a and miR-99b) were unique to S. aureus. In addition, our study revealed a temporal differential regulation of five miRNAs (bta-miR-193a-3p, miR-423-5p, miR-30b-5p, miR-29c and miR-un116) in unchallenged cells. Target gene predictions of pathogen differentially expressed miRNAs indicate a significant enrichment in gene ontology functional categories in development/cellular processes, biological regulation as well as cell growth and death. Furthermore, target genes were significantly enriched in several KEGG (Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) pathways of the immune system, signal transduction, cellular process, nervous system, development and pathways in human diseases, especially cancer. Conclusion: Using next-generation sequencing, our study identified 150 novel bovine miRNAs and revealed a pathogen directed differential regulation of miRNAs in MAC-T cells with roles in immunity and development. E. coli elicited an earlier differential regulation of miRNAs as opposed to a delayed regulation by S. aureus. Furthermore, target gene prediction showed significant enrichments for functions in different biological and cellular processes as well as KEGG pathways in immunity, development and human diseases. Our study provides a further confirmation of the involvement of mammary epithelia cells in contributing to the immune response to infecting pathogens and suggests the potential of miRNAs to serve as biomarkers for diagnosis of mastitis and development of control measures. Bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T cells) challenged with heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) or Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria (treatments: 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr) and without challenge (control: 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr) was profiled using next-generation-sequencing, no replicates, using illumina HiScanSQ platform.

Project description:MicroRNA (miRNA) profiles vary with the nutritional and pathological conditions of cattle. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of inulin supplement on miRNA profiles derived from serum extracellular vesicles (EVs). Our goal was to determine the differences in miRNA expressions and analyse the pathways in which they are involved. Based on the results of California mastitis test and milk somatic cell counts, ten lactating cows with subclinical mastitis were randomly divided into two groups: an inulin group and a control group (n = 5 in each group). The inulin group received a daily supplement of 300 g of inulin while the control group did not receive any supplementation. After a 5-week treatment period, serum-derived EV-miRNAs from each cow were isolated. High-throughput sequencing was conducted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs. GO and KEGG bioinformatics analysis was performed to examine the target genes of these differentially expressed miRNAs. The EV-RNA concentration and small RNA content were not affected by the inulin treatment. A total of 162 known miRNAs and 180 novel miRNAs were identified from 10 samples in the two groups. Among the known miRNAs, 23 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed between the two groups, with 18 upregulated and five downregulated in the inulin group compared to the control group. Pathway analysis revealed the involvement of these differentially expressed miRNAs in the regulation of cell structure and function, lipid oxidation and metabolism, immunity and inflammation, as well as digestion and absorption of nutrients. Overall, our study provides a molecular-level explanation for the reported beneficial health effects of inulin supplementation in cows with subclinical mastitis.

Project description:Despite buffaloes being primary farm animals, their reproductive performance remains poor mainly due to inaccurate estrus detection methods that ultimately has an economic impact on dairy industry as well as farmers. Recently, numerous studies showed potential of miRNAs as estrus biomarker. However, a miRNA profile of buffalo cell free saliva, a non-invasive fluid, at estrus and diestrus stages is missing. Hence, the present study was planned to identify differential levels of salivary cell free miRNAs in estrus as compared to the diestrus phase of buffalo oestrous cycle (n=3) in order to discover a possible estrus specific miRNAs as biomarkers. miRNA-Seq data analysis showed that in total 10 miRNAs i.e bta-miR-375, bta-miR-200c, bta-miR-30d, bta-let-7f, bta-miR-200a, bta-miR-12034, bta-let-7b, bta-miR-142-5p, bta-miR-2467-3p, bta-miR-30a-5p are significantly altered (log2foldchange >3 and p<0.05) during estrus in comparison to the diestrus phase in buffaloes, suggesting their estrus biomarker potential. Overall, 8 miRNAs i.e bta-miR-375 (6.87 Fold; p-value 0.003), bta-miR-200c (5.98 Fold; p-value 0.003), bta-miR-30d (4.17 Fold; p-value 0.015), bta-let-7f (3.34 Fold; p-value 0.022), bta-miR-200a (4.92 Fold; p-value 0.024), bta-miR-12034 (3.58 Fold; p-value 0.0025), bta-let-7b (3.06 Fold; p-value 0.031), bta-miR-30a-5p (4.7 Fold; p-value 0.036) were upregulated, whereas bta-miR-142-5p (-3.4 Fold; p-value 0.032) and bta-miR-2467-3p (-5.24 Fold; p-value 0.035) were downregulated during estrus. However, further validation study using qPCR is required in a large sample size in order to determine their estrus biomarker potential. In summary, our results revealed differential salivary cell free miRNAs profile during the oestrous cycle that may lead to the development of estrus specific miRNAs based point-of-care test applicable for the reproductive management of buffaloes in the field condition in the near future.

Project description:Early detection of bovine subclinical mastitis may improve treatment strategies and reduce the use of antibiotics. Herein, individual milk samples from Holstein cows affected by subclinical mastitis induced by S. agalactiae and Prototheca spp. were analyzed by untargeted and targeted mass spectrometry approaches to assess changes in their peptidome profiles and identify new potential biomarkers of the pathological condition. Results showed a higher amount of peptides in milk positive at the bacteriological examination when compared with the negative control. However, the different pathogens seemed not to trigger specific effects on milk peptidome. The peptides that best distinguish positive from negative samples are mainly derived from the most abundant milk proteins, especially from β- and αs1-casein, but also include the antimicrobial peptide casecidin 17. These results provide new insights into the physiopathology of mastitis. Upon further validation, the panel of potential discriminant peptides could help to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
