Differential gene expression analysis of bovine macrophage cells following exposure to Penicillium mycotoxins

ABSTRACT: Mycotoxins produced by fungal species commonly contaminate livestock feedstuffs. Citrinin (CIT) and ochratoxin A (OTA) are mycotoxins produced by Penicillium spp. and commonly co-occur. Both CIT and OTA can modulate the immune response by inhibiting cell proliferation and differentiation, changing in cell metabolism, or triggering programmed cell death. In this study, we used microarrays to determine the effects of CIT, OTA or both on the bovine macrophage (BoMac) transcriptome.

Project description:Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by a variety of fungi that contaminate animal food and feeds and are capable of inducing a wide range of toxicities. Predictive in vitro models represent valuable substitutes for animal experiments to assess the toxicity of mycotoxins. The complexities of the interactions between epithelial and innate immune cells, vital for upholding barrier integrity and averting infections, remain inadequately understood. In the current study, a co-culture model of bovine epithelial cells (MAC-T) and macrophages (BoMac) was used to investigate the impact of exposure toFusariummycotoxins, namely deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), enniatin B (ENB), and beauvericin (BEA), on the inflammatory response elicited by the bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) endotoxin. The MAC-T cells and BoMac were seeded on the apical side of a Transwell membrane and in the lower chamber, respectively, and mycotoxin exposure on the apical side of the membrane was carried out with the different mycotoxins (LC20; concentrations that elicited 20% cytotoxicity) for 48 h followed by an LPS immunity challenge for 24 h. The culture supernatants were collected from the basolateral compartment and these samples were submitted for cytokine/chemokine multiplex analysis. RNA-Seq analysis was performed using total RNA extracted from the MAC-T cells to acquire a more detailed insight into their cellular functions. The multiplex analysis indicated that IFN-γ, IL-1α, IL-8, and MCP-1 were significantly induced post-DON treatment when compared to control cells, and levels of IL-1α and IL-8 were enhanced significantly in all mycotoxin-treated groups post-LPS challenge. Analysis of the sequencing results showed that there were 341, 357, and 318 differentially expressed MAC-T cell genes that were up-regulated in the DON, ENB, and BEA groups, respectively. Gene ontology and pathway analysis revealed that these DEGs were significantly enriched in various biological processes and pathways related to inflammation, apoptosis signaling, and Wnt signaling. These results provide a comprehensive analysis of the co-culture cytokine/chemokine production and MAC-T cells’ gene expression profiles elicited byFusariummycotoxins, which further contributes to the understanding of early endotoxemia post-mycotoxin exposure.
