Project description:Milk microRNAs (miRNAs) encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a novel class of bioactive food compounds. Milk produced by cows with subclinical mastitis threatens animals healthy and milk safety. However, little is known about the differentially expressed miRNA in milk-derived EVs related to subclinical mastitis. This study profiled miRNAs in milk-derived EVs from healthy cows and cows with subclinical mastitis. The potential targets for differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs were predicted. Milk-derived EVs were isolated from healthy cows (n = 7, the control group) and cows with subclinical (n = 7, the SM group). Two hundred ninety miRNAs (221 known and 69 novel ones) were identified. The top 20 miRNAs were commonly abundant (> 0.1% of the total read counts) in Healthy and SM groups, were regarded as abundant bovine milk-derived EVs miRNAs. MiR-21-5p was the most highly expressed known miRNA. Target genes of the top 20 abundant miRNAs were significantly enriched in Ras signaling pathway. The bta-miR-21-5p, bta-miR-30a-5p and miR-6-1096 were differentially expressed. For DE miRNAs, there was no significantly enriched pathways were found in the KEGG enrichment analysis. The linkage between the validated target genes and diseases suggested that we pay particular attention to exosome miRNAs from mastitic milk in milk safety.

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: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: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:The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate exosomal miRNAs in serum as early diagnostic markers for gastric cancer (GC). Methods: Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics, we identified candidate serum exosomal miRNA markers for early detection of GC in patients. The candidates were further validated by qRT-PCR in 50 newly recruited early-stage GC patients and matched healthy individuals. Results: NGS revealed that the average mappable reads in the RNA libraries were about 6.5 million per patient. A total of 66 up and 13 down-regulated exosomal miRNAs were found in the screened cohort after removal of log2 transformed read counts <5 and p >0.05. In the validation cohort, by comparing candidate exosomal miRNAs levels in early-stage GC patients and healthy individuals, higher levels of miR-92b-3p, let-7g-5p, miR-146b-5p and miR-9-5p were found to be significantly associated with GC. Diagnostic power of the combined panels of the exosomal miRNAs or the combination of exosomal miRNAs and CEA outperformed that of single exosomal miRNA marker for establishing a diagnosis of early-stage GC. In addition, serum levels of exosomal miR-92b-3p were significantly associated with low adhesion, let-7g-5p and miR-146b-5p were significantly correlated with nerve infiltration, and miR146b-5p was statistically correlated with tumor invasion depth in early-stage GC. Conclusions: Serum exosomal miR-92b-3p, -146b-5p, -9-5p, and let-7g-5p may serve as potential noninvasive biomarkers for early diagnosis of GC. Further validation of these candidate exosomal miRNAs in larger experimental cohorts are required in order to confirm the diagnostic values.

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:From serum samples of non-dialyzed and dialyzed patients with ADPKD and healthy control total RNA was isolated and miRNA expression was evaluated. Circulating microRNAs (miRNA) are important intercellular communication compounds. We investigated the influence of ADPKD (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) and hemodialysis on the profile of serum miRNAs. We found 37 significant circulating miRNA that differ between ADPKD patients (dialyzed and non-dialyzed) and healthy controls. Bioinformatic analysis revealed strongest connections between those miRNAs and KEGG pathway: MicroRNAs in cancer. We selected 3 miRNAs with highest and 3 with lowest fold change in comparison of dialyzed and non-dialyzed patients and compared their expression in paired pre-/post-dialysis samples. All up-regulated miRNAs (miR-532-3p, miR-320b, miR-144-5p) were not significantly altered by hemodialysis. From down-regulated miRNAs miR-27a-3p was shown to be significantly lower after dialysis in both total and exosomal fraction. MiR-20a-5p was down-regulated after dialysis only in the exosomal fraction whereas miR-16-5p was unaltered by hemodialysis. MiR-16-5p was selected as the best circulating biomarker of ADPKD with miR-22-3p, let-7i-5p and miR-24-3p as following best ones. Circulating representatives of miR-17 family (new drug target of ADPKD (Hajarnis et al. 2017)) sharing the same seed region (miR-20a-5p, miR-93-5p and miR-106a-5p) showed significantly lowered expressed in sera of dialyzed patients vs non-dialyzed ones and their exosomal fraction dropped after hemodialysis. We concluded that serum miRNA among ADPKD patients differ substantially depending on the stage of CKD. These alterations show possible links with cancer. The exosomal fraction of miRNA was more affected by dialysis than total fraction of miRNAs suggesting their dynamically changing functional role.

Project description:Malignant germ-cell-tumours (GCTs) are characterised by microRNA (miRNA/miR-) dysregulation, with universal over-expression of miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 clusters regardless of patient age, tumour site, or subtype (seminoma/yolk-sac-tumour/embryonal carcinoma). These miRNAs are released into the bloodstream, presumed within extracellular-vesicles (EVs) and represent promising biomarkers. Here, we comprehensively examined the role of EVs, and their miRNA cargo, on (fibroblast/endothelial/macrophage) cells representative of the testicular GCT (TGCT) tumour microenvironment (TME). Small RNA next-generation-sequencing was performed on 34 samples, comprising representative malignant GCT cell lines/EVs and controls (testis fibroblast [Hs1.Tes] cell-line/EVs and testis/ovary samples). TME cells received TGCT co-culture, TGCT-derived EVs, and a miRNA overexpression system (miR-371a-OE) to assess functional relevance. TGCT cells secreted EVs into culture media. MiR-371~373 and miR-302/367 cluster miRNAs were overexpressed in all TGCT cells/subtypes compared with control cells and were highly abundant in TGCT-derived EVs, with miR-371a-3p/miR-371a-5p the most abundant. TGCT co-culture resulted in increased levels of miRNAs from the miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 clusters in TME (fibroblast) cells. Next, fluorescent labelling demonstrated TGCT-derived EVs were internalised by all TME (fibroblast/endothelial/macrophage) cells. TME (fibroblast/endothelial) cell treatment with EVs derived from different TGCT subtypes resulted in increased miR-371~373 and miR-302/367 miRNA levels, and other generic (eg, miR-205-5p/miR-148-3p) and subtype-specific (seminoma, eg, miR-203a-3p; yolk-sac-tumour, eg, miR-375-3p) miRNAs. MiR-371a-OE in TME cells resulted in increased collagen contraction (fibroblasts) and angiogenesis (endothelial cells), via direct mRNA downregulation and alteration of relevant pathways. TGCT cells communicate with nontumour stromal TME cells through release of EVs enriched in oncogenic miRNAs, potentially contributing to tumour progression.
