Project description:Standardized muscular biopsies of the dorsal compartment of the gluteus medius muscle were performed in 7 horses suffering from equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) and 6 sound Norman Cob horses . Gene expression analysis was performed using an equine oligonucleotide microarray which included 384 equine gene probes of the nuclear genome and all the mitochondrial genes.

Project description:Standardized muscular biopsies of the dorsal compartment of the gluteus medius muscle were performed in 7 horses suffering from equine polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM) and 6 sound Norman Cob horses . Gene expression analysis was performed using an equine oligonucleotide microarray which included 384 equine gene probes of the nuclear genome and all the mitochondrial genes. All the samples of PSSM muscles were hybridized against the reference control muscles. This reference was made by pooling together all the mRNA extracted after in vitro transcription from the 6 control muscles of the sound horses. Briefly, the hybridization protocol was adapted from Le Brigand et al. (2006). An open-access long oligonucleotide microarray resource for analysis of the human and mouse transcriptomes. Nucleic Acids Res. 2006 Jul 19;34(12).

Project description:To investigate pre-existing mucosal immunity in equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) immune and non-immune horses during experimental viral challenge. RNAseq was performed on nasal mucosal swab samples from immune and non-immune horses from pre (d-2), early (d1pi and d3pi), mid (d8pi and d10pi), and late (d18pi) infection.

Project description:Equine hepacivirus (EqHV) is phylogenetically the closest relative of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and shares genome organization, hepatotropism, transient or persistent infection outcome, and the ability to cause hepatitis. Thus, EqHV studies are important to understand equine liver disease, and further as an outbred surrogate animal model for HCV pathogenesis and protective immune responses. Here, we aimed to characterize the course of EqHV infection and associated protective immune responses. Approach & Results: Seven horses were experimentally inoculated with EqHV, monitored for 6 months, and rechallenged with the same, and subsequently a heterologous EqHV. Clearance was the primary outcome (6 of 7) and was associated with subclinical hepatitis characterized by lymphocytic infiltrate and individual hepatocyte necrosis. Seroconversion was delayed and antibody titers waned slowly. Clearance of primary infection conferred non-sterilizing immunity resulting in shortened duration of viremia after rechallenge. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell responses in horses were minimal, although EqHV specific T cells were identified. Additionally, an interferon stimulated gene signature was detected in the liver during EqHV infection, similar to acute HCV in humans. EqHV, as HCV, is stimulated by direct binding of the liver-specific microRNA, miR-122. Interestingly, we found that EqHV infection sequesters enough miR-122 to functionally affect gene regulation in the liver. This RNA-based mechanism thus could have consequences for pathology. Conclusions: EqHV infection in horses typically has an acute resolving course, and the protective immune response lasts for at least a year and broadly attenuates subsequent infections. This could have important implications to achieve the primary goal of an HCV vaccine; to prevent chronicity while accepting acute resolving infection after virus exposure.

Project description:Equine hepacivirus (EqHV) is the closest genetic relative of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and shares features of genome organization, hepatotropism, persistent infection, and the ability to cause liver disease. As such, EqHV studies are important both in order to understand equine liver disease, and as an outbred animal model for HCV pathogenesis and immune responses. Here, we characterize the natural history and immune response to EqHV infection. Seven horses were experimentally inoculated with EqHV, monitored for 6 months, and challenge inoculated with the same, and subsequently a divergent EqHV inoculum. Clearance was the primary outcome (6 of 7) and was associated with subclinical hepatitis characterized by lymphocytic infiltrate and individual hepatocyte necrosis. Seroconversion was delayed and antibody titers waned slowly. Resolving horses developed non-sterilizing immunity resulting in short duration of infection upon challenge. Unlike those observed in acutely HCV-infected patients, peripheral blood mononuclear cell responses in horses were minimal, although EqHV specific T-cells were identified. In contrast, an interferon stimulated gene signature was detected in the liver during EqHV infection, which is similar to acute HCV in humans. EqHV, similarly to HCV, is stimulated by direct binding of the liver-specific microRNA, miR-122. Surprisingly, we found that EqHV infection sequesters enough miR-122 to functionally affect gene regulation in the liver. This RNA-based mechanism thus could have consequences for pathology. Conclusion: EqHV infection in horses typically has an acute resolving course, and the immune response attenuates subsequent infections lasting for at least a year. This could have important implications to achieve the first goal of an HCV vaccine; to prevent chronicity while accepting acute resolving infection after challenge.

Project description:Equine Papillomavirus Type 2 (EcPV2) appears to be a causal factor for the development of genital especially penile squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and as such have an important clinical impact on horses. However, the pathomechanisms associated with this cancer transformation are not known, yet. To analyze the host’s and viral transcriptome in EcPV2 affected horses, tissue samples were collected from horses with EcPV2-positive genital lesions as well as from healthy EcPV2-negative horses. Expression levels of host and viral genes were evaluated by RNA-Seq.

Project description:38 horses from 16 diverse breeds and Przewalski's Horse were used to generate a composite CNV map of equine genome. This map was used to detect novel copy number variation in six horses affected with disorder of sexual development (DSD).

Project description:Through this comparative proteomic study of equine CD4+ cells 376 membrane proteins could be identified. Several proteins showed changed abundance in horses affected by a spontaneous autoimmune disease (equine recurrent uveitis, ERU). Findings provide novel knowledge about changes in the CD4+ immune cell membrane proteome in a spontaneously and naturally occurring autoimmune disease in horses. The data is highly relevant for veterinary medicine and has proven translational quality for autoimmune uveitis in man.

Project description:Myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) in horses is a late onset disease that affects performance and athleticism. It is characterized by myofibrillar disarray and protein aggregation with no known cause. The objective of this study was to elucidate the molecular drivers of MFM in Warmblood (WB) horses by proteomic profiling (5 MFM WB, 4 non-MFM WB) of gluteal muscle. MFM horses used in this study had a chronic history of poor performance and exercise intolerance as well as accumulation of desmin aggregates in > 4 myofibers per muscle sample. The Equine Neuromuscular Diagnostic Laboratory database at Michigan State University was queried to identify WB horses with snap frozen gluteus medius biopsies available for analysis. Non-MFM control horses were defined as horses with no history of exercise intolerance and no evidence of desmin accumulation or other histopathology in muscle biopsies. Muscle biopsy samples were obtained at rest from horses that had not undertaken strenuous exercise in the preceding 48 hours.
