Project description:Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) and Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) are important pathogens of cattle, causing bovine tuberculosis and Johne’s disease respectively. M. bovis and MAP infect residential macrophages in the lung and intestines respectively and subvert the macrophage biology to create a survival niche. To investigate this interaction we simultaneously studied the transcriptional response of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages to infection with two strains of M. bovis (AF2122/97 and G18) and two strains of MAP (C & L1).

Project description:Pan-genomic analysis of bovine monocyte-derived macrophage gene expression in response to in vitro infection with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis
Project description:The alteration in genomic expression profiles of mRNA and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in bovine macrophages in response to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) infection was investigated by applying an RNA-Seq based approach. A computational pipeline was implemented which identified more than 300 unannotated lncRNAs in macrophages of which 38 were differentially regulated by the infection.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis inside bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs; in vitro infection) during phagosome acidification at 30 min post-infection. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis profiles from bafilomcyin A1 (acidification inhibitor) treated and untreated monocyte-derived macrophages were compared.
Project description:Bovine paratuberculosis is a serious chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). The aim of this study was to detect proteomic changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from cows of the same herd with different MAP infection status after co-incubation with viable MAP in vitro using label-free LC-MS/MS. Our data contribute to a better understanding of the bovine immune response and mechanisms of susceptibility to MAP.

Project description:Background: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MPTb) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, an intestinal disease of ruminants with major economic consequences. MPTb bacilli are phagocytosed by host macrophages upon exposure where they persist, resulting in lengthy subclinical phases of infection that can lead to immunopathology and disease dissemination. Consequently, analysis of the macrophage transcriptome in response to MPTb infection can provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms that underlie Johne’s disease. Here, we investigate pan-genomic gene expression in bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) purified from seven age-matched non-related females, in response to in vitro infection with MPTb (multiplicity of infection 2:1) at intervals of 2 hours, 6 hours and 24 hours post-infection. Results: Differentially expressed genes were identified by comparing the transcriptomes of the infected MDM to the control MDM at each time point (adjusted P-value threshold ≤ 0.10). 1,050 differentially expressed unique genes were identified 2 hours post-infection, with 974 and 84 differentially expressed unique genes detected 6 hours and 24 hours post-infection, respectively. Furthermore, in the infected MDM the number of upregulated genes exceeded the number of downregulated genes at each time point, with the fold-change in expression for the upregulated genes markedly higher than that for the downregulated genes. Conclusions: Inspection and systems analysis of the differentially expressed genes revealed changes in the expression profiles of genes involved in the inflammatory response, cell signalling pathways and apoptosis. The transcriptional changes associated with cellular signalling and the inflammatory response may reflect different immuno-modulatory mechanisms that underlie host-pathogen interactions during infection. Affymetrix GeneChip® Bovine Genome Arrays were used to examine gene expression of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) after in vitro challenge with Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis across a time series of 2 hr, 6 hr and 24 hr post-challenge. A 0 hr control treatment was also generated and seven different age-matched female Holstein-Friesian cattle were used for each time-point/treatment combination for a total of 49 microarrays, one of which was excluded from analysis since it did not pass quality control.

M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis profiles from bafilomcyin A1 (acidification inhibitor) treated and untreated monocyte-derived macrophages were compared. Two-condition experiment; 3 control (bafilomcyin treated) and 3 test, independently conducted. 1 control, 1 test per microarray.
