Project description:In order to assess the use of whole blood transcriptome analysis to study cattle-Mmm interactions, we performed this study on 6 cattle, comparing the blood transcriptome before infection with the beginning of the clinical signs. Statistical analysis enabled Mmm-infected animals to be clearly distinguished from healthy ones. Functionnal analysis revealed that 680 genes were differentially expressed, confirming previous results as immunosuppression. Surprisingly, whoole blood transcriptome analysis didn't reflect inflammation, a highly characteristic local sign of these disease. This absence on inflammation signs results were confirmed by RT-qPCR.
Project description:The transcriptome signature of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Ladakhi cattle adapted to high altitude vis a vis Sahiwal cattle adapted to the arid/semi-arid region at mean sea level was established using bovine expression microarray chips. The transcriptome analysis of PBMCs from these cattle types living at two distinct altitudes, resulted in identification of several hundred differentially expressed genes, biological processes, molecular functions and pathways.

Surprisingly, whoole blood transcriptome analysis didn't reflect inflammation, a highly characteristic local sign of these disease. This absence on inflammation signs results were confirmed by RT-qPCR. Whole blood gene expression was measured for each of 6 animals before infection and at the beginning of the clinical signs of CBPP. A paired sample statistical analysis was performed to identify diferentially expressed genes between healthy and infected status.
Project description:This objective of this study was to identify gene expression and biological mechanisms related to trace mineral metabolism, central to inflammatory mediation and disease development, through the evaluation of the whole blood transcriptome in post‐weaned cattle receiving different mineral treatments. Here, 56 high‐risk cross-bred beef cattle (~250 kg) were assigned to receive ad libitum access to supplements containing 1 of 3 treatments over a 60-day period: 1) sulfate sources of Cu, Co, Mn, and Zn in feed (INR; custom blend; n= 40); 2) organic complexed source of Cu, Mn, Co, and Zn in feed (AAC; Availa4; n = 40); or 3) organic complexed source of Cu, Mn, Co, and Zn in feed and administration of a drench product [ProFusion] upon arrival (COMBO; n = 40). Whole blood RNA from 26 cattle (~4 calves/pen) were matched and utilized to assess the host transcriptome at days 0, 13, 28, 45, and 60 for the assessment of host transcriptome responses over time.
Project description:This study is performed in the frame of a bigger study dedicated to the integrated analysis of the single-cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility datasets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with a large-scale GWAS of 45 complex traits in Chinese Holstein cattle. In dairy cattle, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a crucial mediator of chronic inflammation to modulate immune responses. PBMCs include primary T and B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes (Mono), and dendritic cells (DC). It still remains unknown how LPS stimulated PBMCs at the single-cell level in dairy cattle. Therefore, the single-cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility datasets in this study enable the further understanding and application of the cell types and functions of PBMCs and their responses to LPS stimulation in vitro in other studies.
Project description:The aim of the study was to identify genes which are differentially expressed in the peripheral blood nuclear cells of two breeds of cattle (Holstein-Friesian and Polish Red) and cervine in different points in their physiological states (dry-off period, peak of lactation) RNA from peripheral blood nuclear cells taken from cattle and cervine in peak lactation and dry period were hybridized to Agilent two color microarrays with a common reference. There were four Holstein-Friesian cattle, four Polish Red cattle and four deer investigated. The whole blood was drawn in two time point from each animal – during dry period and peak lactation. This means that there were six research groups (Holstein-Friesian cattle in dry period and Holstein-Friesian cattle in peak lactation; Polish Red cattle in dry period and Polish Red cattle in peak lactation; Deer in dry period and Deer in peak lactation). Using Gene Spring Software (one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD Post-hoc test) three lists of differentially expressed transcripts were obtained: a list of 576 transcripts which differ deer in dry period and in peak lactation, a list of 437 transcripts which differ Holstein-Friesian cattle in dry period and in peak lactation and a list of 158 transcripts which differ Polish Red cattle in dry period and in peak lactation.
Project description:To evaluate how commonly-utilized antimicrobials affect the host transcriptome of commercial beef cattle overtime, we enrolled 105 feedlot beef steers randomly into seven different treatment groups (negative control, tulathromycin, tildipirosin, enrofloxacin, florfenicol, ceftiofur, oxytetracycline) to receive a one-time label dose of a commercial antimicrobial or not (negative control), and collected jugular whole blood into PAXgene RNA blood tubes at six time points: Day 0 (baseline), 3, 7, 14, 21, and 56.
