Project description:Mycoplasma species are highly contagious pathogens, and Mycoplasma infectious disease are a serious issue for the dairy industry. The bovine neutrophils play an important role for the eradication of pathogens which cause mycoplasmal infection, however the effects of M. bovis for immune response of neutrophils have not been fully clarified. We examined the transcription profiling of bovine neutrophils on the stimulation with M. bovis for 3h (3 stimuli, 3 control).
Project description:Mycoplasma species are highly contagious pathogens, and Mycoplasma infectious disease are a serious issue for the dairy industry. The bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells play an important role for mycoplasma mastitis, however, the effects of M. bovis for immune response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells have not been fully clarified.We examined the transcription profiling of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells in intramammary infusion of M. bovis at day 7.
Project description:Mycoplasma species are highly contagious pathogens, and Mycoplasma infectious disease are a serious issue for the dairy industry. The bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) play an important role for the eradication of pathogens which cause mycoplasmal infection, however the effects of M. bovis for immune response of PBMCs in vitro have not been fully clarified.We examined the transcription profiling of bovine PBMCs on the stimulation with M. bovis for 6h (3 stimuli, 3 control).
Project description:Many proteins of the Repeats in Toxins (RTX) protein family are toxins of Gram-negative pathogens including hemolysin A (HlyA) of uropathogenic E. coli. RTX proteins are secreted via Type I secretion systems (T1SS) and adopt their native conformation in the Ca2+-rich extracellular environment. Here we employed the E. coli HlyA T1SS as a heterologous system for the RTX toxin MbxA from the bovine pathogen Moraxella bovis. In E. coli the HlyA system successfully activates the heterologous MbxA substrate by acylation and secretes the precursor proMbxA and active MbxA allowing purification of both species. The activating E. coli acyltransferase HlyC recognizes the acylation sites in MbxA, but unexpectedly in a different acylation pattern as for its endogenous substrate HlyA.
Project description:Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) causes to the diseases such as arthritis, pneumonia, abortion and mastitis causing to great losses in dairy bovine industries. It undertakes significant functions in the regulation of the immune response formed by many RNA type bacteria such as Messenger RNA (mRNAs) and Long noncoding RNA (lncRNAs). mRNA and lncRNA expression profiles still cannot be majorly known in the bovine mammary gland tissues infected with M. bovis. To illuminate this issue, transcription analysis has been conducted regarding mRNA and IncRNAs in the breast tissues belonging to Holstein cattle infected and not infected with M. Bovis. Differently expressed 1310 mRNAs and 57 IncRNAs have been determined in the bovine mammary gland tissues infected and not infected with M. Bovis. In addition; 392 novel lncRNAs have been detected. Also; it has been found that 19 novel lncRNAs are expressed in a different way. It has been revealed in gene ontology analysis that the differently expressed mRNAs and IncRNAs play a significant role in many vital biological pathways such as Metabolic pathways, T cell receptor signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, Pathways in cancer, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, NF-kappa B signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway and Apoptosis including the immune response and cancer. When literature review is conducted, it is seen that this study is the first genome wide IncRNA research conducted on the infected bovine mammary gland tissues with M. bovis agent. Our results have provided bovine mammary gland IncRNA and mRNA resource to understand their roles in the regulation of the immune response against the agent of M. Bovis in the bovine mammary gland tissues.
