Time course of the transcriptional response of three porcine intestinal sections to Salmonella typhimurium infection

ABSTRACT: The GeneChip Porcine Genome Array was used to identify the transcriptional response upon Salmonella typhimurium infection in three porcine intestinal sections (jejumun, ileum and colon) along a time course of 1,2 and 6 days post infection. The objetives in this study were i) characterize transcriptional changes upon S. typhimurium infection in the intestinal mucosa; ii) identify differences among porcine intestinal sections in inmune resposes against S. typhimurium; iii) identify change that could be associated to salmonellosis pathogenesis and symtomatology; and finally, iv) identify transcriptional changes that could be induced by S. typhimurium in order to get bacterial survival and successful colonization. Sixteen male and female crossbreeds weaned piglets, approximately 4 weeks of age, were used in this study. Before infection, faecal samples from each animal were analyzed to confirm that piglets were free of Salmonella. Pigs were housed in an environmentally controlled isolation facility at 25ºC and under constant light with ad libitum access to feed and water. After an acclimation period of 5 days, pigs were challenged orally with 108 cfu of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium phagetype DT104 (n=12), whereas the control group (n=4) received sterile medium orally. The four non-infected control pigs were necropsied two hours prior to experimental infection. Four randomly chosen infected pigs were necropsied at 1 day post infection (dpi), 2 dpi and 6 dpi, respectively. Faecal swabs, blood and tissues samples were aseptically collected. Ileum was collected, sectioned in pieces of around 10 cm and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for mucosa isolation and RNA purification. To ensure the inoculated pigs were infected, faecal samples were cultured and checked for positive Salmonellae organism Four reps per treatment and tissue group except 'Ileum 1dpi' has only 3 replicates.

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.
