Project description:Background: Physiological inflammation of the uterus postpartum is essential for the reparative processes of involution after calving. In the majority of cows, this inflammation is resolved and homeostasis is restored. However, in a significant subset, inflammation persists and contributes to tissue damage, pathology and subfertility. Transcriptomic differences of immune genes between cattle that resolve inflammation and those that develop uterine disease have been detected as early as 7 days postpartum (DPP) suggesting that the host immune response plays an important role in disease outcome. Results: Here, we extensively characterise the immune response at the transcriptomic level in endometrial epithelial cells from post-partum dairy cows phenotyped for both clinical and sub-clinical forms of uterine disease. We address the hypothesis that excessive expression of endometrial inflammatory molecules contributes to development of endometritis. Classification of cattle (n=112) as healthy or with uterine disease (purulent vaginal discharge; PVD and cytological endometritis; CYTO) was based on vaginal mucus score and >18% polymorphonuclear cell infiltrate into the endometrium at 21 DPP. RNA-seq analysis of endometrial epithelial cells collected using cytobrushes identified differential expression of 294 genes (FDR <0.05) between cows that subsequently resolved inflammation (n=10) and those that developed disease (n=20). Pathway over-representation analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEG) identified significant changes in immune-related pathways, including the NOD-like receptor signalling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway and the Toll-like receptor signalling pathway which were up-regulated in cattle that subsequently developed disease. The majority of the DEG were upregulated in cows that developed PVD, and included all genes upregulated in CYTO cows, suggesting a core inflammatory gene signature early post-partum contributes to the onset of uterine disease. This inflammatory signature was validated by qPCR in an independent group of cows (n=56) and included upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes (including TLR2, TLR4, NLRP3, IL1A, IL1B, IL8, and S100A8) at day 7 postpartum in cows that failed to resolve inflammation. Conclusions: Despite a large amount of inter-animal heterogeneity, these results suggest that excessive activation and inappropriate regulation of the inflammatory response early postpartum is a key feature of the subsequent development of uterine disease.

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discharge among women worldwide. BV is characterized by an imbalance in the vaginal microbiota with depletion of protective Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of facultative and strictly anaerobic bacteria. Although the development of a polymicrobial biofilm on the vaginal epithelium is a hallmark of BV, interactions between key BV-associated bacteria (BVAB) [i.e. Gardnerella vaginalis, Fannyhessea vaginae, and Prevotella bivia] present in the biofilm are still not completely understood. In this study, we aimed to analyse the transcriptome of single and triple-species biofilms growing in the rich medium, New York City III (NYCIII). A previous analysis of triple-species biofilms composition by qPCR showed that the biofilms were mainly composed of G. vaginalis, followed by F. vaginae and P. bivia. The transcriptomic analysis revealed a total of 431 (34 upregulated and 397 downregulated), 126 (36 upregulated and 90 downregulated), and 39 (31 upregulated and 8 downregulated) differentially expressed genes for G. vaginalis, F. vaginae, and P. bivia, respectively. Gene ontology only detected enrichment for the downregulated genes of G. vaginalis and 47 GO terms were associated with molecular functions, cellular components and biological processes, mainly metabolism. Hence, this work showed the adaptation of 3 BVAB when growing in a triple-species biofilm, with several genes being differentially expressed in all the species growing in a polymicrobial biofilm.

Project description:We conducted a prospective, open-label study to determine the effect of the NuvaRing on gene expression in the endocervix and immune-related protein expression in cervicovaginal secretions. Women provided endocervical cytobrush samples during the luteal and follicular phases of the menstrual cycle (as determined by progesterone levels) as well as during NuvaRing use. Gene expression was measured using Illumina Human HT12 v4 BeadChip microarrays. We compared the NuvaRing visit to each phase of the menstrual cycle separately, as well as follicular and luteal phase samples to each other, adjusting for technical batch, presence of blood in vaginal discharge, and BV status by Nugent score, and blocking on participant. We found that gene expression in the endocervical canal changed across the menstrual cycle and in response to NuvaRing use. In particular, we observed a continuum of expression of immune-related genes and gene sets in the endocervical canal: highest during NuvaRing use, intermediate in the follicular phase, and lowest in the luteal phase.
