Project description:The endometrium plays a crucial role in the reproductive organs in the aspect of embryo-maternal communication and pregnancy. This study investigated transcriptome profiles of endometrial cells stimulated with PBS, LPA and LPA in combination with IFNt. LPA, one of the signaling molecule, is locally produced and released from the bovine endometrium during estrous cycle and early pregnancy. The highest concentration of LPA and expression of its active receptor (LPAR1) were detected in bovine endometrium at the time of maternal recognition of pregnancy, when the conceptus announces its presence by increased IFNt production. Using transcriptomic approach we compared the influence of LPA and LPA together with IFNt on the gene expression profiles in bovine endometrial cells. A total of nine normally cycling Holstein/Polish Black and White (75/25% respectively) cows were used in this study. Global transcriptional profiling was performed using co-cultured stromal and epithelial cells (ratio - 3:1) isolated from bovine endometrium. Three experimental conditions (control (PBS), LPA and LPA plus IFNt) with three replicates per condition were prepared. Total RNAs were extracted from 9 pooled samples (n=3 for each sample) amplified and hybridized onto Affymetrix microarrays.

Antibody-independent identification of bovine milk-derived peptides in breast-milk

Project description:Exclusively breast-fed infants can exhibit clear signs of IgE or non IgE-mediated cow’s milk allergy. The definite characterization of dietary cow’s milk proteins (CMP) that survive the maternal digestive tract to be absorbed into the bloodstream and secreted into breast milk remains missing. The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of CMP-derived peptides in breast milk, using antibody-independent methods. Using high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry in blinded assays, we identified 11 cow’s milk-derived peptides, including two β-lactoglobulin (2 out 6 samples) and one αs1-casein (1 out 6 samples) fragments, in breast milk from mothers receiving a cup of bovine milk daily. The β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) fragments, namely f42-54 and f42-57, were absent in milk from mothers who observed a strict dairy-free diet (6 samples). In contrast, neither intact nor hydrolyzed β-Lg was detected by Western blot or competitive ELISA tests. CMP-derived peptides rather than intact CMP may sensitize or elicit allergic responses in the neonate through mother’s milk. Immunologically active peptides from the maternal diet could be involved in priming the newborn’s immune system to drive tolerogenic response in neonates and infants.

Transcriptomic response of bovine oviductal organoids to thermal stress.

Project description:The mammalian oviduct is a complex, fibromuscular organ known for its role in orchestrating a series of timely and dynamic changes to suitably support early embryogenesis. Establishing successful reproductive outcomes are largely determined through effective and cohesive communication systems between the transient embryo and the maternal environment. Climate change-induced, Heat stress (HS), is one of the largest single stressors compromising reproductive function. Systemic changes in the redox status of the maternal environment, adversely affect fertilization and early embryonic development, negative causation of HS. Oviductal organoids represent a 3-dimensional, biomimetic model to study the physiological impact of HS on the physiology of the oviduct and the subsequent developing embryo. In this study, we aimed to generate a robust bovine oviductal organoid culture system to decrypt the oviducts' differential transcriptomic response to HS, to elucidate the impact of thermal stress on oviductal physiology with subsequent potential impacts on early embryo development.

Expression profiling reveals distinct clusters of transcriptional regulation during bovine preimplantation in vivo

Project description:This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of gene expression and transcriptome dynamics of bovine metaphase II oocytes and in vivo developing bovine embryos. For this study, Affymetrix GeneChip Bovine Genome Array which covers ~23,000 transcripts was used, which revealed several distinct clusters of genes regulated during various stages of bovine preimplantation development.

altered bovine lymphocyte secretome after pokeweed mitogen stimulation

Project description:Vaccination with a new vaccine against bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) caused unwanted immune reactions through alloreactive antibody production in 5–10% of vaccinated cows. Transfer of these alloreactive antibodies via colostrum caused highly lethal (90%) bovine neonatal pancytopenia (BNP) in calves. Despite the assumption of an immune deviant lymphocyte (PBL) phenotype, the exact immunological mechanisms driving these unwanted immune reactions are not fully understood to date. To gain deeper insight into these mechanisms, we analyzed the PBL secretome from alloreactive antibody producers (BNP cows) and non-alloreactive responders (controls) after stimulation with pokeweed mitogen (PWM).
