Project description:Cattle with subclinical endometritis (SCE) are sub-fertile, but there is no predictive or diagnosis tool for subclinical uterine disease. The hypothesis for this study was that endometrial inflammation is reflected in peripheral blood leucocytes gene expression. Transcriptome patterns in healthy cows and in cows with SCE at 45-55 days postpartum were evaluated using circulating white blood cells and endometrial biopsies samples collected from the same animals. Bioinformatics analyses of microarray-based transcriptional data identified gene profiles associated with distinct biological functions in circulating white blood cells and endometrium. In circulating white blood cells SCE promote a pro-inflammatory environment related to the activation of inflammation, whereas in the endometrium functions also related to tissue remodeling. Nineteen differentially expressed genes were altered both in circulating white blood cells and in the endometrium of SCE cows compared with healthy cows. Among these genes, transcript abundance of immune factors C3, C2, LTF, PF4 and TRAPPC13 were up-regulated in SCE cows at 45-55 days postpartum. Moreover, the mRNA expression of C3, CXCL8, LTF, TLR2 and TRAPPC13 was temporally regulated during the postpartum period in circulating white blood cells from healthy cows compared with SCE cows. This observation might indicate an advantageous activation of the immune system in healthy animals. The transcript abundance of these genes might also be used as an indicator for subsequent postpartum uterine health.

Project description:We aim at identifying possible differences in miRNA profiles and individual circulating miRNA between healthy cows and cows with persistent inflammation as diagnosed by cytology and histology. Ultimately the miRNA profiles will be correslated with RNAseq results to be performed from endometrial biopsies (planned later on this year following laser micro dissection). Samples have been taken from 6 "healthy cows" with low presence of immune cells at 21 and 44 days post partum which were subsequently pregnant, and from 11 cows with high numbers of immune cells at 21 and 44 days post partum, all non pregnant.

Project description:Post-partum uterine inflammation (endometritis) is associated with lower fertility at both the time of infection and after the inflammation has resolved. It was hypothesized that aberrant DNA methylation may be involved in the sub-fertility associated with post-partum uterine inflammation. The objective of this study was to characterize genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression in the endometrium of dairy cows with sub-clinical endometritis. Endometrial tissues were obtained at 29 days post-partum (n=12) and Agilent two-colour microarrays were used to characterize transcription and DNA methylation profiles. Analyses revealed 1,856 probes to be differentially expressed in animals with subclinical endometritis (SUI, n=6) compared with control cows (NUI, n=6, P<0.05, Storey Multiple testing correction). No significant associations among DNA methylation and gene expression were detected. Further analysis of gene expression data using GeneGo Metacore and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis identified several pathways and processes enriched in the comparison. Several pathways that are involved in the innate immune response were enriched in SUI cows. Consistent with the presence of microorganisms in the uterus, there was enrichment for the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway, including increased expression of the transcription factor NFKB1, the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1A and IL1B, downstream chemokines, cytokines, and acute phase and antimicrobial proteins in the endometrium of SUI cows. Furthermore, the chemokine signaling pathway was enriched in SUI cows, with increased expression of genes that attract cells of the innate immune system. Increased expression of IL-8 and CXCL6, chemotactic factors for recruitment of neutrophils along with the immune cell surface marker PTPRC in SUI cows is consistent with the greater number of polymorphonuclear cells present in the uterus of these cows. Several antimicrobial peptides (LAP, TAP, DEFB1, DEFB10, DEFB103B, DEFB7) and acute phase proteins, including SAA3, LBP, and the complement gene CFB, had greater expression in SUI cows. Gene expression profiles in cows with subclinical endometritis in this study indicate that the immune response is activated, potentially resulting in a local pro-inflammatory environment in the uterus. If this period of inflammation is prolonged, it could result in tissue damage or failure to complete involution of the uterus, which may create a sub-optimal environment for future pregnancy. Agilent two-colour microarrays were used to characterize DNA methylation profiles in cows with subclinical endometritis (SUI, n=6) compared to control cows (NUI, n=6). Endometrial tissues (caruncular, intercaruncular) were obtained at 29 days post-partum.

Project description:Increased energy demands to support lactation, coupled with lowered feed intake capacity results in negative energy balance (NEB) and is typically characterized by extensive mobilization of body energy reserves in the early postpartum dairy cow. The catabolism of stored lipid leads to an increase in the systemic concentrations of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and -hydroxy butyrate (BHB). Oxidation of NEFA in the liver result in the increased production of reactive oxygen species and the onset of oxidative stress and can lead to disruption of normal metabolism and physiology. The immune system is depressed in the peripartum period and early lactation and dairy cows are therefore more vulnerable to bacterial infections causing mastitis and or endometritis at this time. A bovine Affymetrix oligonucleotide array was used to determine global gene expression in the spleen of dairy cows in the early postpartum period. Spleen tissue was removed post mortem from five severe NEB (SNEB) and five medium NEB (MNEB) cows 15 days postpartum.SNEB increased systemic concentrations of NEFA and BHB, and white blood cell and lymphocyte numbers were decreased in SNEB animals. A total of 545 genes were altered by SNEB. Network analysis using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that SNEB was associated with NRF2-mediated oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, natural killer cell signaling, p53 signaling, downregulation of IL-15, BCL-2, and IFN- ; upregulation of BAX and CHOP and increased apoptosis with a potential negative impact on innate and adaptive immunity.

Multiparous Holstein-Friesian cows (n=24) were blocked 2 weeks prior to expected calving date according to parity, body condition score, and previous lactation yield (average lactation 6477M-BM-1354kg) and randomly allocated to mild (MNEB; n=12) or severe (SNEB; n=12) NEB groups. MNEB cows were fed ad lib grass silage and 8 kg day-1 concentrates and milked once daily; SNEB cows were fed 25 kg day-1 silage and 4kg day-1 concentrate and milked three times daily. Measurements of body condition score and EB were used to select cows which showed extremes in EB from each group (MNEB, n=5; SNEB, n=5). Cows were slaughtered on days 6-7 of the first follicular wave after calving (mean number of days post-partum: MNEB mean 13.6 M-BM-1 0.75, range 11M-bM-^@M-^S15; SNEB mean 14.3 M-BM-1 0.56, range 13M-bM-^@M-^S16), based on daily transrectal ultrasonography.At slaughter the entire spleen was removed and weighed, and samples weighing 1 g were dissected, rinsed in RNase-free phosphate buffer, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, stored for 4 h in dry ice, and subsequently stored at 80M-BM-0C.

Project description:Combining the cytological as well as gene expression changes in the endometrium is required to understand the effects of subclinical endometritis on endometrium as well as embryo. Hence, the present study was aimed to investigate the gene expression profiles of subclinical endometrium as well the effect of the inflamed environment on the gene expression profile of the developing preimplantative embryo. Endometrial samples were collected from each 49 cow using the cytobrush technique, 2 h before insemination (Day 0 of the estrous cycle after superovulation) and immediately before flushing (Day 7 of the estrous cycle after superovulation). The endometrial samples were categorized based on the PMN value as healthy endometrium (HE, PMN = 0) and subclinical endometritis (SE, endometrial PMN > 0). Flushed embryos were snap frozen for later molecular genetic analysis. Finally, endometrial samples were pooled according to the endometrial health status of the donor cows (HE vs. SE) at the time of insemination and at the time of flushing. The corresponding samples were subjected global gene expression profile. Moreover embryos flushed from HE and SE cows were pooled together according to the health status of their donors at time of flushing. Those embryos were also used for global embryonic gene expression analysis in relation to the health status of the donor cows.
