Project description:Up to 50% of ovulations go undetected in modern dairy herds due to attenuated oestrus behavior and a lack of high-accuracy methods for detection of fertile oestrus. This significantly reduces overall herd productivity and constitutes a high economic burden to the dairy industry. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are ubiquitous regulators of gene expression during both health and disease and they have been shown to regulate different reproductive processes. Extracellular miRNAs are stable and can provide useful biomarkers of tissue function; changes in circulating miRNA profiles have been reported during menstrual cycles. This study sought to establish the potential of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers of oestrus in cattle using Illumina small-RNA sequencing. In this experiment a total of 24 bovine plasma samples were analysed using Illumina miRNA sequencing. These samples were collected at three time-points during a normal oestrous cycle from each of 8 animals (Day 0, Day 8 and Day 16 after oestrus) in a repeated-measures design. Therefore this study included 8 biological replicates for each of the three time-points analysed.

Project description:Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is capable of causing a chronic enteritis known as Johne's disease (JD) in ruminants, notably resulting in substantial economic losses within the dairy industry. Prognostic and diagnostic assays that are both sensitive and specific are required to limit the spread of infection. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have shown potential as biomarkers for various pathologies. We had access to a MAP infection model that consisted of serum samples from unchallenged, silent and subclinical phases in cattle collected across a four year period. Hence, the first aim of this study was to determine whether small RNAs could be sequenced from one ml volumes of serum using this model. We sought to identify potential prognostic miRNA biomarkers of MAP infection. We also had the opportunity to confirm the stability and longevity of circulating miRNAs as the serum samples that had been stored at -20degree C for approximately 10-15 years.

Project description:Dairy cow subfertility is a worldwide issue arising from multiple factors. It manifests in >30% early pregnancy losses in seasonal pasture-grazed herds, especially when cows are inseminated in the early post-partum period. Most losses occur before implantation, when embryo growth depends on factors present in maternal tract fluids. Here we used label-free LC-MS/MS to examine the proteomic composition of uterine luminal fluid in 87 day-7 pregnant cows to identify potential biomarkers of fertility. We also determined changes in uterine luminal fluid from first to third oestrus cycles postpartum in individual cows and linked those changes with divergent embryo development. Out of 1563 proteins detected, 472 had not been previously reported in this fluid, and 408 were predicted to be actively secreted by bioinformatic analysis. The abundance of 19 proteins with roles in immune regulation and metabolic function was associated with contrasting embryo quality (e.g. cystatin B, pyruvate kinase M2). Matched-paired pathway analysis indicated that, from first to third oestrus postpartum, upregulation of metabolic (e.g. creatine and carbohydrate) and immune (e.g. complement system regulation and antiviral defence) processes were related to poorer quality embryos in the third oestrus cycle postpartum. Conversely, upregulated signal transduction and protein trafficking appeared related to improved embryo quality in third oestrus. These results advance the characterisation of the molecular environment of bovine uterine luminal fluid and may aid in understanding fertility issues in other mammals, including humans.

Project description:The regulation of endometrial inflammation has important consequences for the resumption of bovine fertility post-partum. All cows experience bacterial influx into the uterus after calving; however a significant proportion fail to clear infection leading to the development of cytological endometritis (CE) and compromised fertility. We hypothesised that early immunological changes could not only act as potential prognostic biomarkers for the subsequent development of disease but also shed light on the pathogenesis of endometritis in the post-partum dairy cow. Here, next-generation sequencing from endometrial biopsies taken at 7 days post-partum (DPP) identified significant expression of inflammatory genes in all cows. Despite the common inflammatory profile and enrichment of the Toll-like receptor, NF?B and TNF signalling pathways, 73 genes and 31 miRNAs differentiated between healthy cows (HC, n=9) and cows which subsequently developed CE at 7 DPP (n=6, FDR<0.1). In healthy cows, 4197 differentially expressed genes between 7 and 21 DPP whereas only 31 genes were differentially expressed in samples from cows with CE. At 21 DPP, a further 1167 genes were differentially expressed between HC cows and cows diagnosed with CE (FDR<0.1). These changes in host gene expression reflected culture-independent microbiological analysis which showed significant differences in uterine bacterial profiles between groups. Inflammatory activity was not confined to the uterus; decreased circulating granulocytes and increased Acute Phase Protein (SAA and HP) plasma expression levels were detected at 7 DPP in cows that developed CE. In conclusion, our data suggests that the major inflammatory cascade activated early post-partum is resolved thereby restoring homeostasis in healthy cows by 21 DPP, but this transition fails to occur in cows which develop CE. Despite a common inflammatory profile, differential expression of specific immune genes may identify cows at risk of prolonged inflammation and the development of CE post-partum. Sixteen Holstein Friesian cows, of mixed parity, within the same university dairy herd were sampled 7 and 21 days postpartum (DPP) in the morning after milking, over an eight week period.

Project description:The endometrium undergoes profound progesterone-driven remodeling during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle in a process called decidualization. In the absence of pregnancy, circulating progesterone levels fall and tissue-wide inflammation and influx of neutrophils precede tissue breakdown and menstrual shedding. These changes are accompanied by wide-scale transcriptomic changes that co-ordinate temporal changes throughout the secretory phase. Here, we sequenced whole endometrial biopsies to identify molecular biomarkers that mark specific stages of the secretory phase, including pre-menstrual tissues. 20 biopsies were timed to specific phases of the secretory cycle based on the donor’s reported LH, the physical morphology of tissues observed via IHC and serum progesterone levels.
