Transcription profiling of pig mediastinal lymph nodes from piglets experimentally infected with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2)

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize differences in gene expression in piglets inoculated with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), the essential causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). Comparisons between control and PCV2-inoculated pigs were done at five different time points: 1, 2, 5, 8, and 29 days post-inoculation. Experiment Overall Design: Seven-day-old caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived piglets were distributed into two groups: control (n=8) and inoculated with 105.2 TCID50 of the Burgos PCV2 isolate (n=16). One control and 3 inoculated pigs were necropsied on days 1, 2, 5, and 8 post-infection (p.i.), the remaining pigs (4 of each group) were necropsied on day 29 p.i.

This study was aimed at characterizing the potential differences in gene expression in piglets inoculated with Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), the essential causative agent of postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome. Seven-day-old caesarean-derived, colostrum-deprived piglets were distributed into two groups: control (n = 8) and pigs inoculated with 10(5.2) TCID(50) of the Burgos PCV2 isolate (n = 16). One control and three inoculated pigs were necropsied on days 1, 2, 5, and 8 post-infecti ...[more]

Project description:A first generation Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Porcine genome array was used to profile the gene expression in porcine mesenteric lymph nodes over a time course of infection with S. Typhimurium, including the acute (8 hours post inoculation (hpi), 24 hpi, 48 hpi) and chronic (21 days post-inoculation (dpi)) stages of infection. Our objectives were to 1) identify and examine the stereotypical gene expression response within host MLN to S. Typhimurium infection, 2) characterize global host responses by revealing the specific features of the hostâs innate immunity pathways, and 3) explore if and how S. Typhimurium may escape the host immune response and develop into a carrier state. Our study has attempted to investigate the features of host gene expression profiling during S. Typhimurium infection at the acute and chronic infection stages and to explore the mechanism by which S. Typhimurium can escape from the host immune response and develop a carrier state in the host. In conclusion, by using the Affymetrix porcine GeneChip, 848 differentially expressed genes were identified in porcine MLN during infection and several specific features of host response were revealed by gene cluster and pathway analysis. Our data are the first report to investigate global host responses to S. Typhimurium in porcine MLN, and this new study provides data applicable for studying enteric salmonellosis of pigs, as well as humans. Experiment Overall Design: Fifteen piglets from Salmonella spp.-free sows were weaned at 10 days (d) of age, shipped to the National Animal Disease Center, Ames, IA and raised in isolation facilities. To confirm that all piglets were free of Salmonella spp. prior to challenge, bacteriological cultures were performed on rectal swabs twice. Seven week old pigs were randomly divided into 2 groups, 3 non-infected pigs and 12 infected pigs. Three non-infected control pigs were necropsied 2 days prior to experimental infection. On day 0, pigs in the infected groups were intranasally challenged with 1 billion CFU of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Three infected pigs were necropsied at 8 hours post-inoculation (hpi), 24 hpi, 48 hpi and 21 days post-inoculation (dpi). Tissue samples from the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were collected and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA isolation.

Project description:Purpose: Post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) is a disease associated with porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection. One main feature of PMWS is seriously decreased lymphocyte in lymphoid tissues. This research aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of evident lymphocyte depletion in spleen from Yorkshire x Landrace (YL) pigs after infection with PCV2. Methods: At the age of 6 weeks, 15 piglets of Laiwu (LW) and YL pigs were assigned randomly into two groups, respectively: 10 infected pigs and 5 uninfected pigs. Spleen tissues of each group were collected at 35 days post infection with PCV2. Three PCV2-infected YL pigs with apparently pathologic characteristics and mock-infected YL pigs were selected for RNA sequencing, respectively. The RNA extraction, library construction and RNA-Seq were performed on the Illumina HiSeq2500 at Beijing BioMarker Technologies (Beijing, China).Differential expression genes (DEGs) were filtrated from the result of transcriptome. The quantitative real-time PCR was performed to validate the expression patterns of candidate DEGs between LW and YL pigs. Results: The clean reads percolated from the raw reads were mapped to Sus scrofa genome (Sscrofa10.2) using Tophat2 software. The efficiency of alignment was about 76% between the six samples and reference genome, and approximate 50% clean reads were perfectly matched to pig genome. Two samples with high R-squared value (T1-T3: 0.98; T5-T6: 0.97) from PCV2 and mock-infected YL pigs, respectively, was performed differential expression analysis through DESeq after biologic repetition correlation detection. With the criterion of log FC (fold change) > 1.5 and of P value < 0.05, 90 significantly differentially expressed genes were identified between the two groups, of which 57 were up-regulated and 33 were down-regulated. Eleven candidate DEGs were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR, which expression pattern were generally in accordance with the results of RNA-seq. Conclusions: Many DEGs participate in immune response and some of them are involved in cells proliferation or apoptosis, such as CD81, HGF, CXCL13, KLF11, PSMD4, CYCS and ACTC1. The expression changes of these DEGs may cause the lymphocyte depletion in spleen after challenge with PCV2.
