Project description:Infection of sheep with Brucella ovis results in ovine brucellosis, a disease characterized by infertility in rams, abortion in ewes and increased perinatal mortality in lambs. During the course of the infection both the ovine immune response and host cell gene expression are modified. The objective of this research was to conduct a preliminary characterization of differential gene expression in rams experimentally infected with B. ovis by microarray hybridization and real-time RT-PCR. Six hybridizations were conducted using total RNA from three individual infected sheep at 15 and 60 days post infection. In each comparison, the control channels contained total RNA from each of the same three sheep at 0 days post infection. Ratios were calculated as B. ovis-infected sheep at 15 and 60 dpc versus uninfected animals at 0 dpc.

Project description:The study demonstrated the gene expression through microarray analysis of total mRNA in rams experimentally infected with a rough (R) virulent strain of Brucella ovis in reproductive organs (epididymus, testicles, ampolae, vesicular glands, bulbourethral glands) and a pool of lymph nodes (inguinal and scrotal) at three different times: acute phase (60 days post challenge [dpc]), chronic phase 1 (120dpc), and chronic phase 2 (240dpc) of infection. To further define the gene expression changes associated with infected rams, the profiles of a control group (0 dpc) of rams was compared using the Affymetrix Bovine Genome Array. Of the 23,000 genes that were analyzed on the array, B. ovis infection in rams’ tissues revealed 139, 930 and 744 Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) in the acute, chronic 1, and chronic phase 2 of infection, respectively. Among the three phases of infection, 44 DEGs (30 known and 14 unknown genes) were expressed in common. The biological functions of immune cell trafficking, immunological disease, infectious disease, inflammatory disease, inflammatory response and cellular movement were significant at the three phases of infection. The results support the first microarray analysis of ram tissues infected with an R strain of B. ovis. A total of twelve 12-month-old healthy Santa Inês rams, previously diagnosed as negative for brucellosis/visna maedi/toxoplasmosis/neosporosis, were selected for the study. The rams were kept in an isolated pen and experimentally challenged with a rough (R) virulent B. ovis PA strain (ATCC 25840). For the experiment, the rams were classified during the course of infection according to time: 0 dpc (control), 60 dpc (acute phase), 120 dpc (chronic phase 1) and 240 dpc (chronic phase 2). For each time, the tissues epididymus, testicles, ampolae, vesicular glands, bulbourethral glands, and a pool of lymph nodes (inguinal and scrotal) were collected. Three rams were euthanized and necropsied for tissues collection purposes for each time. To define the gene expression changes associated with infected rams, the profile of a control group (0 dpc) of rams was compared using microarray technology.

Project description:Brucella ovis causes an important disease characterized by decreased fertility in rams, sporadic abortions in ewes and increased lamb mortality. The live attenuated B. melitensis Rev.1 vaccine is considered the best vaccine available against this infection. However, this vaccine shows variable protective efficacy ranging from 40% to 100%.The objective of this study was to identify possible correlates of protective response to B. ovis infection through the characterization by microarray hybridization and real-time RT-PCR of inflammatory and immune response genes upregulated in rams previously immunized with the B. melitensis Rev 1 vaccine strain and experimentally challenged with B. ovis. Gene expression profiles were compared before and after challenge with B. ovis between rams protected and those vaccinated but found infected after challenge. The genes upregulated in vaccinated and protected rams provide possible correlates of protective response to B. ovis infection in rams immunized with the B. melitensis Rev 1 vaccine.
