Characterization of peripheral white blood cells transcriptome to unravel the regulatory signatures of bovine subclinical mastitis resistance

ABSTRACT: Subclinical bovine mastitis is a pathogenic infection of the breast characterized by a marked decrease in milk production and quality. As it has no obvious clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are challenging. Therefore, searching for biomarkers in cows’ peripheral white blood cells is valuable for preventing and treating subclinical mastitis. Thus, in this study, the transcriptome of peripheral blood from healthy and subclinical mastitis cows was characterized to find the regulatory signatures of bovine subclinical mastitis using RNA-seq. A total of 287 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 70 differentially expressed lncRNAs (DELs) were detected, and 37 DELs were documented near known Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) associated with the mastitis of cows.
